Enhancing Installation Resilience with Electric Vehicle Fleets
Abstract
Approved for Public Release. Title: Enhancing Installation Resilience with Electric Vehicle Fleets PI: Nathan Johnson, Arizona State, University Sponsor: Office of Naval Research Award: Naval Enterprise Partnership Teaming with Universities for National Excellence, (NEPTUNE)Abstract: The proposed work will demonstrate the potential value and impact of bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and gri,d-to-vehicle (G2V) dispatch on installation resilience, power quality, and economics. This work has direct significance for installa,tion Energy Managers and Operators that require electric vehicle management systems to take full advantage of EV fleet capacity to d,ischarge, or charge, during critical events to allow the installation to maintain energy resilience. And further, the control strate,gies will be used to optimize charging of EV fleets to reduce energy cost with respect to local utility tariffs and with dispatch of, the microgrid. Six tasks will scope, develop, and test the Minimum Viable Product. --Dual-use applications will also be sought for, the civilian sector at university campuses, commercial campuses, government facilities, and industrial parks. Naval benefits includ,e accelerating the adoption of smaller, dispersed, resilient, and adaptive basing systems to improves energy system posture resilien,ce. These benefits align with the Naval Research and Development framework that prioritizes increased flexibility for integrated and, distributed forces through incorporation of autonomous and disaggregated systems. Further, the work will enable rapid adoption of c,lean and zero-emission vehicles for Federal, State, local, and Tribal government fleets as detailed in Presidential Executive Order, 14037 on Strengthening American Leadership in Clean Cars and Trucks. --Results will also provide a low-cost solution for improved a,wareness of power usage and power quality to reduce operation and planning expenditures within the facilities, sustainment, restorat,ion, and modernization (FSRM) model as deemed a critical issue in the 38th Commandants Planning Guidance for USMC.MCI-West, MCAS Mi,ramar, and MCICOM are the primary partners and problem sponsors. Energy and Utilities Managers, Operators, and Technicians will prov,ide on going guidance on project goals, data on facilities and equipment, practical concerns with EV adoption and utilization, integ,ration advice with legacy controls systems, and other electrical circuit information pertinent to the study. They will also be activ,e in review of the Minimum Viable Product and provide guidance for direct application at MCAS Miramar.
