Integrating Cybersecure Microgrids Improves Energy Resiliency for the U.S. Military
- 1. SESSION: RELIABILITY, RESILIENCY, & EFFICIENCY = ENERGY SECURITY INTEGRATING CYBERSECURE MICROGRIDS IMPROVE ENERGY RESILIENCY FOR THE U.S. MILITARY SEPTEMBER 27, 2017 JAMES DODENHOFF REGIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR INTELLIGENT POWER & ENERGY RESEARCH CORPORATION (IPERC)
- 2. 2 Islanded Microgrid Primary Energy Source Local Energy Sources Local Community “A group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources with clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid and can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island mode.” DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY MICROGRID DEFINITION: MULTIPLE SOURCES, MULTIPLE LOADS
- 3. HOW COMPLEXITY IMPACTS A MICROGRID’S VALUE POTENTIAL
- 4. WHAT DOES THE MILITARY MEAN BY OPERATIONAL ENERGY AND ENERGY RESILIENCY 1. Operational energy is the “energy required for training, moving, and sustaining military forces and weapons platforms for military operations.” (10 US Code § 2924) 2. DoD Energy Resilience is the ability to prepare for and recover from energy disruptions that impact mission assurance on military installations (Presentation given by Dr. Ariel Castillo, Senior Energy Resilience Program Manager, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Energy, Installations & Environment, June 2017)
