TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
This project is focused on the unique challenges facing the DoD in developing and demonstrating advanced power generation and energy storage technologies. It will address critical military needs for improved energy efficiency and availability to support a range of military missions. At the individual warfighter and small unit operations level, efforts are addressing the need for mission extending power generation and energy storage technologies with particular emphasis on portability and robustness challenges that are unique to the DoD. As electronic systems are common to all scales of power generation and energy storage and management, this project also investigates improved board-level power conversion and regulation strategies to more efficiently convert and distribute high voltages to locally required low voltages for powering integrated circuits and sensors. The project also includes an effort that is exploring ultra-high-efficiency gas turbine engines for power generation on large platforms including Navy cruisers and destroyers.
