Adv Elec Energy Con Ad

Abstract

The Tactical Electric Power (TEP) program was established by the Department of Defense to develop modernized, standard families of mobile electric power sources and power distribution systems for all Services throughout the Department of Defense. Project Manager Mobile Electric Power (PM MEP) derives concept and technology developments that will improve the performance, mobility, readiness and survivability of the next generation of tactical power sources in support of all Services. It supports initiatives that are essential to the development and fielding of modernized TEP sources from Watts to Megawatts level that comply with environmental statues and provide noise and signature-suppressed, energy-efficient, lightweight, deployable and reliable equipment. FY14 and FY15 funding will support the test and evaluation of technologies for Small Tactical Electric Power (STEP), Mobile Electric Hybrid Power Sources (MEHPS), and Intelligent Power Management and Distribution Systems (IPMDS). In addition, FY15 funding will support a holistic approach to the evaluation of Operational Energy (OE)-related impacts, systems, and improvements; with the vision of reducing Army energy dependency and demand, increasing systems and facilities' energy efficiency, seeking alternative energy sources and creating a culture of energy responsibility while sustaining or enhancing operational capabilities. Out years will support investigation of general advancements in engine, power equipment and power distribution equipment that are applicable to current equipment and emerging requirements. Programs include costs for developing concept hardware and executing system evaluations at the Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) events at Ft. Bliss.
