USAF Mobile Power and Facility Electricity Power Systems Analysis. Volume 1.

Abstract

This research built upon previous work which developed a data base for advanced terrestrial energy systems (ATES), and a computerized methodology for multiple criteria decision making (MCDM). Research determined the electric power (MEP) and facilities energy generating system (FEGS) needs. Advanced technologies have little potential to enhance FEGS operational effectiveness, but offer cost savings, especially for remote site and self sufficiency missions. MEP mission support can be enhanced by free piston systems in small sizes, by kinematic stirling and phosphoric acid fuel cells in mid sized applications (flightline, communications support) and by regenerative gas turbines in large systems. R&D programs are recommended to achieve the enhanced operational and cost potential.
