Session: Microgrids for Resiliency Advancing Army Energy Security and Microgrids for Mission Readiness Ms. Kristine Kingery Office of Assistant Secretary of Army, Installation Energy and Environment, August 10, 2016 Rhode Island Convention Center Providence, Rhode Island
Microgrids for Energy Security BLUF: Army investments in Microgrids must be strategic to achieve the greatest increase in mission readiness possible for the dollars spent. INTENT: Army microgrid investments at the locations of strategic importance with the greatest risks. 2
Army Path --- Opportunistic to Strategic Current State -Opportunistic Investments -Unclear Mission Benefits Desired End State -Strategic Investments -Clear Mission Benefits Approach Understand the Landscape Establish Requirement in Policy Ensure Cross-Functional Collaboration Identify the Priority Sites Identify the Energy Security Risks Develop Mitigation Solutions Enable Technology Deployment Document Mission Benefit 3
Understand the Landscape Requirements: Increasing operational requirements for CONUS installations e.g. HSMCC Installation mission to serve as strategic platforms during natural disasters and threats against the homeland Legislative Requirements Over 135 different energy mandates and requirements Domestic Risk Threat Realities: Age of Infrastructure: Increasing trend in power interruptions on Army facilities Acts of Man Attempted sabotage and the looming concern of future cyber-attacks Acts of Nature Threats have included Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy Increased Operational Needs and Changing Threat Environment Acts of Nature 4
Establish Requirements in Policy DoD OE Strategy Army ES2 Strategy Revised DoDI 4170.11 1. Increase future warfighting capability 2. Identify and reduce logistics and operational risks 3. Enhance the mission effectiveness DoD Facilities Energy Strategy ASA Energy Security Memo 1. Reducing demand 2. Expanding supply 3. Enhancing energy security 4.

Army Path --- Opportunistic to Strategic The Goal is Mission Readiness Microgrids are just one possible mitigation solution for Energy Security. Other mitigation solutions can increase mission readiness Electrical Distribution System upgrades Added redundancy for energy systems Increasing functionality of distributed energy systems Army decision making must enable investment in the best solution at the right locations Current State -Opportunistic Investments -Unclear Mission Benefits Desired End State -Strategic Investments -Clear Mission Benefits 12
