At present, the DoD is heavily dependent on mobile generators in a microgrid configuration for its tactical power systems, but has been lacking a systems-integrated energy storage solution that can enhance grid resilience, fuel efficiency, and optimize tactical generator .

Army Corps of Engineers prepare to be sling-loaded from helicopters to inspect tops of high-voltage transmission towers and anchor lines that hold them in place after roughly 80 percent of grid was affected by storms, Aguadilla Pueblo, Puerto Rico, February 16, 2018 (U. Army seeks to improve combat effectiveness and survivability, innovative energy systems are becoming more critical. This article outlines applications of the microgrids as they relate to U. Army Regulation (AR) 70-75, “Survivability of Army Personnel and Materiel”, survivability. The Tactical Microgrid Standard defines common control and communication interfaces so power components interoperate, enabling cohesive, upgradeable microgrids on military installations.
