Bring-Your-Own Portable Microgrid
The military is beginning to develop “smart” microgrids for its bases that, like the REPPS, can adapt to multiple energy sources including solar power. TARDEC, the Army’s vehicle research center, has also developed a mobile microgrid system called the Electronic Power Control and Conditioning (EPCC) microgrid, which can run off conventional fuel as well as wind and solar. It was recently tested to power runway lights at an Air National Guard base.
