Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS)

Abstract

The ability of today s warfighter to command, control, deploy, and sustain forces is adversely impacted by a fragile, aging, and fossil fuel dependent electricity grid, posing a significant threat to national security. The SPIDERS JCTD will address four critical requirements: Protect task critical assets from loss of power due to cyber attack, Integrate renewable and other distributed generation electricity to power task critical assets in times of emergency, Sustain critical operations during prolonged power outages, Manage installation electrical power and consumption efficiently to reduce petroleum demand, carbon bootprint, and cost.
