- Description
- DARPA-BAA-11-53, Deployed Energy Storage DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals to develop flexible / robust energy storage systems for forward operating bases (FOBs) that can utilize energy from a variety of traditional and renewable energy generation systems to provide the FOB an uninterrupted power supply with millisecond to multiple day power interruptions or during extended periods of limited availability of primary energy supplies. The goal of the Deployed Energy Storage (DES) program is to develop a deployable system to enable maximum use of renewable energy sources in order to minimize the fuel required at FOBs for power generation. As renewable energy sources exhibit intermittencies that span from milliseconds to days, achieving the DES vision is anticipated to require significant technology developments that include the following: 1) advances in the specific energy of short-term energy storage devices; 2) scale up of short-term energy devices to MWh scale; 3) specific energy and round trip efficiency advances in long-term energy storage devices; and 4) improvements in intelligent system control and power distribution. DARPA intends to leverage existing investments in intelligent microgrid technology. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specially excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. See attached DARPA-BAA-11-53 for full solicitation.
