Military Mobile Power Summit

“Advancing Operational Energy to Ensure Readiness, Efficiency, and Stability”

The DoD is the biggest institutional energy consumer in the world, with over 75% deriving from  “operational energy” (OE): the energy required for  training, moving, and sustaining military forces and weapons platforms for military operations.  Reducing the cost of power and energy needs is critical to the mission success across the Services.

With increased focus within the OSD to strengthen the energy security of U.S. military operations and improve military capabilities, cut costs, and lower operational and strategic risk through better energy accounting, planning, management, and innovation, there are enhanced  efforts and initiatives underway across all the Services to help transform  OE.

DSI’s Military Mobile Power Summit allows for civilian and military users across the energy and power spectrum to come together to learn, discuss, debate, and help advance  several key areas within the mobile power community such as:

- Advanced fuel cell and battery systems for ground, air & space applications
- Performance metrics and measurements development
- Portable energy harvesting
- Biofuels and advanced “drop in” fuels
 -Optimization of microgrids
- Energy integration in data-to-decision: Intelligent power management
- R&D in waste-to-energy conversions for FOBs
- Tactical renewable energy programs
- Streamlined  acquisition & commercial item procurement
