1 Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit & Expo Energy Initiatives for Contingency Basing and Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief Final September 2014

2 UNCLASSIFIED 2 Challenges 2 EARTHQUAKE INTENSITY TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY UNCLASSIFIED FDO#4232 TRAFFICKING DISASTER RESPONSE EMERGING MILITARIES TERRORISM More than Half of World’s Population (3.43 B) 100s languages 52% of Earth’s surface 36 countries 16 time zones World’s 6 largest armed forces 5 of 7 U.S. Mutual Defense Treaties Nuclear weapons, unbalanced military forces

3 3 Operational Energy & Logistics Logistics are required for successful missions and HA/DR response: Water and food must be distributed. Power must be supplied. Infrastructure must be developed. Sustainment of logistics must be possible. CHALLENGES: Tyranny of distance in the Asia-Pacific region. Cost and time to ship goods to areas of need. Vulnerability of supply lines and distribution of goods/ services with limited transportation infrastructure. SOLUTIONS: Identify easy to use, point-of-use solutions to reduce logistical demand and increase resiliency.

4 4 5 W’s and an H WHO: WHAT: Identification and assessment of contingency basing material / non- material solutions to reduce op-energy consumption in tropical regions. WHERE: - Controlled laboratory environment - Operational field environment in the PACOM AOR WHEN: Engaged in multiple exercises and events, offering timeline flexibility to fee payers. WHY: Reduce risk and increase mission capability by enabling greater contingency base sustainability. HOW: - Query innovation marketplace - Integrate into ops/exercises to assess impact - Provide direct access to operators - Coalesce DOD and DOE expertise - Develop diverse partnerships to ID and transition promising solutions - Provide feedback to USG decision makers TROPEC is an assessment platform for expeditionary camp solutions.

5 5 Unique Value Provided by TROPEC For Whole of Government -Integration with USPACOM exercises and operations OCONUS -Warfighter and technical feedback -Tropical environment utility focus -Joint environment -DOD and DOE expertise -Assessment and solution-search platform available to decision makers For Developers -Technical and operational feedback for improvement from DOD and DOE -Facilitated introduction to DOD and transition agents -Feedback to help improve solutions -Independent, government assessment -No cost for innovators to participate

6 6 Offerings & Expertise Expanding scope of capability-set expertise ensures greatest responsiveness to DOD needs. Foundational ‘menu’ of activities enables partners to select assistance relevant to their needs; select from technology discovery help, lab assessment, field assessment, impact analysis, TTP/CONOP support and more. Controlled lab setting assessment Technology Discovery & Development Assistance Operationally relevant environment assessment Models & other non- Materiel solutions - 2015

7 7 Camp Op Energy Improvements Space conditioning: Duct Tee - 2 tents/ECU ECUs: Variable- capacity, constant speed Electronics: High-temp servers Shelters: Shade/radiant barrier/insulation Lighting: High efficiency area lighting + solar power Generators: More efficient & flex fuel Microgrids TROPEC-assessed solutions have shown ways to improve camp energy consumption. Shelters: Rigid-walled Water: Water generation Water: Water reuse Lighting: LED Assessments have covered a large range of end uses, showing savings potential across the camp structure Controls: Occupancy controls Electronics: Efficient server cooling ‘Soldier’ Power

8 8 Broad Solution Sets Identified & Assessed Applications Reviewed by Technology Type-111 Applications Accepted for Lab Assessment-25 Applications Accepted for Field Assessment-43 As of July 2014 Experiments combining select energy-improvement systems have identified a few system-of-system improvement opportunities. Small business with DOD sales history Applications from small business *Based only on “Accepted” applications

9 9 Summary Logistics needs in support of HA/DR response and military missions are similar. Implementation of solutions that are able to provide needs at the point of use, as well as reduce dependencies on outside inputs (such as fuel/energy) can lead to: 1)reduced response time, 2)a more resilient region, 3)carrying out a sustainable responses, 4)reduced mission cost and vulnerability. TROPEC aims to identify, assess and provide information on such solutions across the technology and non-materiel spectrum.

10 10 Questions www.TROPEC.net Access the website to find: -Description of solution areas of interest -Short summaries of field assessment findings -Short summaries of lab assessment findings -Contact information for TROPEC partner members -Links to other DOD operational energy partners
