US Army Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (PRFTA) in Dublin, California is beginning the construction of the first of ten nodes of a Resilient Replicable Modular Microgrid (R2M2). The R2M2 will segregate PRFTA’s camp into […]
The Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the Department of the Army recently demonstrated a mobile, fast-forming, secure, and intelligent vehicle-centric microgrid (VCM) prototype that provides mobile power for next-generation […]
Schneider Electric and Black & Veatch have completed the installation of a microgrid system at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in San Diego, California. The microgrid is online, fully operational, and has been […]
The United States Army is developing a new laser weapon – the Tactical Ultrashort Pulsed Laser for Army Platforms (UPSL) – that promises to be more powerful than existing weapons by nearly three orders of […]
The US Army has awarded Ameresco’ Federal Solutions Group and Duke Energy a $36 million design-build utility energy service contract (UESC) to implement power generation and facility efficiency improvements at Fort Bragg. A major part […]
Researchers at Binghamton University have designed a biosolar cell that generates electricity using two types of bacteria: one is photosynthetic and the other uses the nutrients it creates. This symbiotic relationship can provide a four-day […]
The US Department of Navy and the US Marines Corps have developed a resilience policy that will enable key installations to go off-grid for at least two weeks – with the goal of “assured energy […]
Researchers from the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan School of Engineering are examining ways to redesign how electricity is distributed within power grids. Their research proposes a power system operation that would consist of multiple […]
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) recently announced up to $43 million is now available in funding to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Funding will enable power generators […]
Researchers at the University of Colorado are developing low-cost, high-performance, aqueous flow battery technology that potentially will lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy. They use chromium – which is abundant in […]
