Power Distribution Illumination Systems Electrical (PDISE) expansion
Abstract
Prepare PDISE Expansion - Prime effort by awarding the Prime Power Distribution Systems (PPDS) contract, developing first article build/test (FAT) components and start developmental testing inclusive of the Improved Primary Switching Center (iPSC), Improved Secondary Distribution Center (iSDC), and Tactical Prime Power Transformer (TPPT). The PPDS enables distribution of power from prime power sources which use medium voltages or higher. The system will transform medium or higher voltages down to standard 120/208 V, 3-phase power. Elements of the PPDS will enhance the existing PSC and SDC by incorporating advanced capabilities to accept either 4160 Volts Alternating Current (VAC) primary input power from a USA Deployable Power Generation and Distribution System (DPGDS) or a USAF Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) power source or 13.8kVAC from contracted and commercial power sources or host nation/existing distribution systems. Prime Power Connection Kit (PPCK) effort renamed to Prime Power Distribution Systems (PPDS) in FY24.
