Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS)
Abstract
New Start - Contingent upon congressional appropriation and congressional notification -- SPIDERS will demonstrate cyber-secure “smart” micro-grids with demand side management and integration of renewable energy and storage on military installations, in partnership with Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy. SPIDERS will demonstrate cyber-secure industrial control systems; application of Smart Grid technologies to military installations; secure micro-grid for sustained mission assurance and emergency support; integration of distributed and variable renewable generation and storage; effective demand-side management; and redundant, distributed back-up power systems. Output and efficiency to be demonstrated: Reduce the “unacceptably high risk” of extended electric grid outages by developing the capability to “island” installations while maintaining operational surety & security.
