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 Expeditionary Energy & Sustainment Systems (PM E2S2) 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. FY18 funding will support test and evaluation of technologies for Small Tactical Electric Power (STEP), Platoon Power Generation (PPG), Mobile Electric Hybrid Power Sources (MEHPS), and Management and Distribution Control (MDC). Also, funding will support a holistic Modeling and Simulation 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 contingency bases energy efficiency, seeking alternative energy sources and supporting a culture of energy responsibility while sustaining or enhancing operational capabilities. This includes support of the Joint Operational Energy Initiative (JOEI). Out years will support investigation of general advancements in engine, power equipment, energy storage, renewable/alternative energy, and power distribution equipment that are applicable to current equipment and emerging requirements. In addition, an extensive analysis of commercial generator technology is planned to support requirements definition for the next family of tactical sets. Programs include costs for developing concept hardware and executing system evaluations at the Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) events at Ft. Bliss.
