FINE TUNING FOB MICROGRIDS FOR MAX EFFICIENCY

THE CUSTOMER:

• U.S. European Command (EUCOM)

THE CHALLENGE:

Logistics resupply to FOBs and Combat Outposts is threatened by complex enemy offensive operations, at times cutting off bases for days or weeks at a time. To ensure critical communications and medical equipment remains online, the customer needed to improve fuel consumption and power production efficiency.

Currently, commanders use spot power generation—meaning a generator at every tent—to provide electricity. This method provides consistent power but often results in oversized generators operating inefficiently at less than 50 percent of their rated load.

THE SOLUTION:

ADS partnered with Barbaricum to capture a year of data logging on a base camp in the EUCOM area of operations. Working closely with the customer, ADS sourced the current base camp configuration.

As a baseline, the camp designed to serve 800 Soldiers, and includes billeting, hygiene, dining, and MWR facilities. Throughout the year, the camp was subject to multiple testing and evaluation visits by the ADS/Barbaricum team.

Barbaricum is using the data to develop a model for right sizing the power generation components for forward deployed warfighters.

Multi-fuel, hybrid power systems allow mobile operators greater flexibility while in theater.

The INI Power Trinity 2000™ Autonomous Lightweight Lithium-Ion Hybrid system provides clean, consistent power for sensitive electronics, while reducing noise and fuel consumption.

This allows the operators to stay on mission longer while reducing fuel load and decreasing reliance on theater logistics.
