2013 ADC INSTALLATION INNOVATION FORUM | PAGE 6 6 Challenges Aging utility infrastructure outside cantonment area Reduced reliability More vulnerable to damage/longer outage periods Its not just about electrical power Water quality and availability Cannon AFB, Goodfellow AFB, Mountain home AFB Airfield energy encroachment High population density/rapid growth
7
2013 ADC INSTALLATION INNOVATION FORUM | PAGE 7 7 Way Ahead Develop an energy security system model consistent with Mission Assurance sustainability requirements and Energy Security policy definitions Ex: smaller microgrids (2 or 3 buildings) within base grid with inter connect capability Lower cost of implementation and optimal use of existing generator inventory Ex: water sustainability through utility negotiation, acquisition, or other means Need unconventional options on the table
