FINE TUNING FOB MICROGRIDS FOR MAX EFFICIENCY

The use of microgrid power systems has the potential to reduce fuel consumption by 25 to 80 percent at Forward Operating Bases (FOBs).

With proper planning and design, the system can reduce overall man hours required to operate in austere environments where the procurement of fuel is dependent on theater logistics. We can provide the full scope of power generation, distribution, and storage needs. Working directly with manufacturers spurs innovation and provides a direct link to the customer, allowing for agile application of design, testing, and redesign.

Contact us for a variety of solutions using best-in-class vendors—which is the value of working with DLA’s largest small business distribution.

Base Camp Power Consumption Study

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.
