We have begun moving new "energy forward" prototypes into the field. These portable and stationary systems use storage to balance generation and load for resilient installation/operation energy. #DIU = Delivering Innovation Uniquely
DIU has partnered with the United States Air Force and the US Navy on the Extended Duration for Storage Installations (EDSI) project, which will make resilient backup power systems a reality for military installations and operational #energy platforms by increasing the minimum power threshold and uptime that #batteries, bases and battlefield energy, and sourcing use can all stay online. "Through EDSI, not only does the DoD get the advantage of energy resiliency during adverse weather conditions, but now we are able to store energy during non-peak times and also tie into renewable sources, optimizing best utilization and economic practices," says Air Force Lt. Col Ben Thomas. This initial phase will be supported by three commercial vendors – CellCube, DD DANNAR, LLC, and Redflow.
