The U.S military is ramping up its dedication to solar energy and other alternate fuels with two new demonstration projects for smart microgrid technology. These microgrids could pull power interchangeably from solar arrays and other sources to cut costs, improve logistics, and reduce the troop safety hazards involved with fossil fuel convoys. As part of the particular military’s drive to guide the civilian sector to more secure and environmentally friendly power sources, the projects are designed to show the effectiveness of microgrids at large civilian facilities in addition to military installations. Business parks, industrial complexes and academic establishments would be prime candidates.
One of the actual sustainable microgrid projects is being completed right now at the world’s biggest Marine Corps base, Twentynine Palms Base inside California, while the other will be conducted at the Wheeler Air Base in Hawaii beginning in September. At Wheeler alone, the Army is actually hoping for a cut in fuel consumption of as much as 60 % and a decrease in the number of generators it needs.
