Military facilities, government campuses, forward operating bases (FOBs), mission-critical facilities, hospitals and more are turning to microgrids to build a more resilient electric power grid. Government agencies are finding that microgrid energy systems can be used to optimize the reliability, affordability and sustainability of the utility infrastructure.
Our work with the U.S. Army resulted in a customized microgrid system that significantly reduced fuel consumption and increased personnel safety for FOBs. By transforming an independently operating system of generators into a demand managed microgrid, Eaton's Intelligent Mobile Power Distribution System provides power only where and when it is needed.
With our decades of experience in power management, we can help you build an adaptive, responsive infrastructure to distribute high-quality power that doesn’t rely on utility grid availability.
When disaster strikes, power availability is critical for military and government facilities. Natural and physical disasters can result in prolonged power outages and in this digital age, you also need the proper safeguards in place to protect the grid against cyber criminals. In either case, you need technologies that help generate reliable power that maintains the safety of government and military personnel and civilians, protects critical assets and minimizes the impact to the environment.
In partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, Eaton was able to specially design a microgrid for the Fort Sill military base that improved energy security by integrating the use of renewables and helped to ensure operation during grid outages.
