Pier Power Resilience Analysis of Alternatives
Abstract
Approved for Public ReleaseAbstract: The increasing energy demands and resilience challenges of U.S. naval bases necessitate innovative solutions to ensure mission-critical operations. This proposal will develop a zonal hierarchical digital twin framework tailored for naval base microgrids, focusing on energy resilience, efficiency, and modularity. By leveraging data-driven techniques, the framework intends to simulate and optimize the operation of this architecture by coordinating distributed energy resources and renewable generation, within defined nanogrid zones. These zones operate independently or collaboratively, ensuring robust performance during grid-connected and islanded operations.The project will analyze current and projected loads at naval installations, leveraging existing telemetry systems such as electricity meters, infrastructure information, and utility cost, providing actionable insights fordesign and implementation. Through dynamic power quality monitoring and advanced simulation capabilities, the digital twin framework will identify critical performance indicators, enhance energy management strategies, and support the deployment of scalable, cost-effective solutions. The outcomes include increased energy resilience, reduced emissions, and adaptable models replicable across other Navy installations, aligning with national defense priorities and sustainability goals.
