Adaptive Hybrid Power System

The overarching objective is to provide a deployable hybrid renewable energy system that reduces fuel consumption and Warfighter vulnerability in theater. Fielded systems suffer from inefficiency, weight, bulkiness, high cost and inadequate autonomous control capabilities. HDMs team, including partners ZeroBase Energy and Raytheon, proposes the Adaptive Hybrid Power System (AHPS), featuring high power density at maximum efficiency while ensuring rapid and safe deployment. HDM's approach features next generation power electronics, real-time power management, advanced energy storage, solar power capabilities, and HAZMAT encapsulation. High efficiency power electronics, achieved through advanced materials, such as silicon carbide (SiC), and innovative topologies will result in over 70% reduction in weight and volume. The adaptive Intelligent Controller technology will add a layer of sophisticated power management to maximize renewable energy harvest, and cut fossil fuel demand, based on current operational and environmental conditions. High capacity and long-life lithium batteries will be used to store power harvested from solar energy. Safe and compact encapsulation, meeting HAZMAT regulations, will enable the system to be deployed via a two-trailer configuration. With its systematic approach to power surety, flexibility, modularity, and scalability, this system will harness and manage various innovative power technologies to cut fuel consumption 40% - 70%.
