Description View Changes

This effort is needed to maximize the ability of DAF installations to achieve mission assurance through energy assurance by adding Large Capacity Energy Storage. The focus of this program is to research and demonstrate the integration of new installation energy technologies that can be demonstrated at a DAF location to provide increased operational resilience.



Due to the austere location of the installation, new technology would need to operate in extreme low temperatures of -60°F. Large Capacity Energy Storage offers many economic and operational benefits, such as improved power quality and stability, and reduced dependence on generators, and reduce the logistics required to bring in fuel for generators.
