Workforce Development Pipeline for Microgrid and Advanced Power Systems Careers
Abstract
The proposed training programs support the Naval Research and Development Framework in meeting objectives for the Navy Installation Energy Plan and Operational Endurance to increase mission assurance and autonomy, improve security and resiliency to cyberattacks and natural disasters, reduce reliance on external fuel or energy, and improve cost of operations through implementing microgrids and other renewables-based power systems [13]. These efforts underpin the National Defense Strategy specifically pertaining to sustaining Joint Force military advantages globally, continuously delivering performance with affordability and speed, providing more resilient and agile forward operations, and advancing data analytics to identify anomalies in equipment or potentialintrusion/attack [14]. This work also supports objectives for operational capability and flexibility set by the Resilient Energy Program Office and facilitates the goal of ~netzero~bases. Advancingmicrogrid STEM education foruniformed and civilian Navyalso supports increased agilityand adaptability desired inexpeditionary operations andincreases the security ofoperational energy to ~protectand sustain power worldwide~as discussed in Future Force
