Renewable Energy Analysis for Strategic Responsiveness

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to conduct an analysis of Army photovoltaic (PV) systems in support of both sustaining base and deployed missions at different locations. This project investigated the value added of PV as a complement to generator power and, in particular, to see whether PV as a renewable energy source can increase operational effectiveness and reduce logistic support and maintenance.
