In response to the need for increased grid reliability and versatility, Williams-Pyro, Inc. proposes to develop a modular, portable, inexpensive Intelligent Energy Control System (IECS) that can plan deployments as well as measure and manage demands for requested services (e.g., location, targeting, and mobility). IECS will enable “plug and play” features through intelligent power grid control algorithms for load prioritization and shedding, mission equipment identification and mission profile integration, multiple sensors to measure the load condition and power quality for diagnostics and prognostics, high speed broadband wireless network communication (WiFi) and/or broadband over power line (BPL) for (near) real time situational awareness and reaction, and commercial off the shelf (COTS) technologies. The modular system architecture will manage energy decisions across the entire unit and will scale completely to flexibly cover various electric power generation units, storage devices, etc. Our IECS will be able to operate on different DoD operating platforms, be rapidly reconfigured, accommodate third-party interests, integrate into existing control systems and protocols, track energy as a resource at all levels of deployment, and provide logisticians with better information for re-supplying the force.
