University-Navy Research on Energy Resilience
Abstract
This research, development and demonstration program addresses issues of Power and Energy Science and Technology, Power Generation and Energy Storage, and Power and Energy Research to help fulfill the Navy#s goals for energy resiliency, diversity, sustainability,carbon footprint reduction, and global independence for its energy infrastructure. Prior ONR work by the principal partners, Stony Brook University and the University of Massachusetts Lowell, been informed by Presidential, DOD and DON strategy guidance. The ten projects proposed here build on that prior work. That work has benefited not only from the regular evaluations and comments by the Office of Naval Research but also from ONR-facilitated interactions with advisors at the Naval Postgraduate School, the Naval ResearchLaboratory, the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center. ONR has ensured that this work is driven by the urgency of moving important new technologies from the laboratory to implementation in Navy operations. The projectsproposed for demonstration offer intelligent distributed and automated systems providing microgrid monitoring and control, power distribution and seamless integration of renewable sources for rapid recovery and grid resiliency; new approaches to hydrogen generation, storage and release as an energy source and a fuel; energy storage at very low temperatures; and strategies for rapid cyber-physical restoration. The demonstration and future deployment of these technologies will address the Navy#s needs for:#Enhanced power management, rapid recovery and resiliency capabilities for homeland and forward operating bases#Preservation of energy resources for the operation of mission-critical assets and support facilities.#Development of advanced energy storage systems and new renewable energy production capabilities to reduce Navy energy systems# carbon footprint.
