White House and DOD Announcement
on Installation Energy Security
“Renewable energy is critical to making our bases more energy
secure. Together with emerging microgrid and storage
technologies, local sources of renewable power will increase the
energy security of our nation’s military installations.”
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Energy & Environment)

U.S. Army
Energy Initiatives Task Force
Established by the Secretary of the Army on September 15, 2011.
Serves as the central management office for partnering with
Army installations to implement cost-effective, large-scale,
renewable energy projects, leveraging private sector financing.
• Projects equal to or greater than 10MW
• Will coordinate with installations for 1-10MW
opportunities
• Potential for projects that exceed Army requirements
• Solar, Wind, Biomass and Geothermal technologies
• Resources to perform project development and execution
• Will use existing DoD land-use and third-party financing
authorities
The EITF’s projects will help ensure the Army’s goal to deploy
1 GW of renewable energy projects by 2025

Definition of Energy Security
• The FY 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) defines
Energy Security as “having assured access to reliable supplies of
energy and the ability to protect and deliver sufficient energy to meet
mission essential requirements.”
– The NDAA definition directs the Army to build energy security into its programs
and requirements.
– Per ASA (IE&E) an energy secure installation must have: a) a very energy
efficient set of buildings, b) on-site power generation and c) a secure micro-grid
that can match power with key loads.
• Questions to be addressed
–
–
–
–
For how long?
What critical assets?
How far outside the installation?
At what cost (DoDI 4170.11: “fair and reasonable premium”)?

Army Advanced Grid Projects
Afghanistan:
Approximately 28 Minigrid efforts to replace
decentralized generation and distribution
• Saving 50 million gallons of fuel annually
• Equivalent to Removing 20,000 Trucks or 55
per Day
• Removed more than 1900 spot generators
CONUS Installations
• Fort Hunter Liggett, CA – 1MW Solar Microgrid
• Fort Carson, CO – SPIDERS Program
• Fort Sill, OK – Microgrid demonstration
project
• Fort Bliss, TX – Microgrid demonstration
project

SPIDERS
Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for
Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS)
•
FY11-14 demonstration of energy security microgrids with integration of renewable energy on
three installations: Joint Base Pearl Harbor
Hickam, Ft. Carson, and Camp Smith.
•
SPIDERS stakeholders: two Combatant Commands, five DOE labs, DHS, the military services, two
utilities, two state governments, US Army ERDC-CERL, and NAVFAC EXWC. Truly joint and
combined.
•
SPIDERS will make contributions to cyber secure energy surety for mission assurance, improved
energy resource management, DoD Vehicle Electrification, and NETZERO architecture
investments.
•
Fort Carson portion planned for operational demonstration mid OCT 2013
•
Leveraging existing solar (EUL) to contribute to optimized back-up synchronization when utility service
lost, mission assurance on designated critical facilities.
•
Demonstrate bi-directional Vehicle to Grid (V2G) storage capabilities.

Installation Microgrid
Benefits and Needs
Characteristics
• Improved reliability, endurance and stability
of energy supplies
• Improved energy efficiency, power quality
and command choice
• Ability to provide resiliency to critical loads,
non-critical load shedding to increase
mission endurance
• Improved integration of renewable energy
sources and economic opportunities,
ancillary services, demand response, power
quality
Key Issues for Deployment and Commercialization
• Defined value proposition from utility services (with and without storage).
• Industry performance and interface standards.
• Metrics and evaluation criteria for acquisition process.
• Economic scaling models for budget estimates.
• Operation and maintenance protocols.
