Research abstract

In austere environments, the Army's energy needs are unmet by traditional systems due to logistical challenges, security vulnerabilities, and growing demand for power across various applications. Intrinsic Power seeks to leverage its commercial innovations in energy management systems to create a mobile, ruggedized, and modular system to meet energy delivery requirements in austere conditions – known as the Ruggedized Power export Module (RPeM). The RPeM is a low-cost, standardized, and modular export power solution that enables the direct export of power from any tactical vehicle (hybridized or all-electric) to external loads. The RPeM offers users a mobile microgrid system for deploying in the field, utilizing EV batteries and solar energy generation as the primary energy sources. The RPeM offers a flexible and scalable power solution for austere environments, ensuring reliable energy for critical systems like weapon systems, field healthcare, EV charging, and more. The system also supports grid independence, making it highly adaptable for disconnected field operations. By leveraging AI and advanced energy management software, the RPeM optimizes power flow, enabling the Army to maximize energy efficiency and reliability in the field. This innovation reduces dependence on traditional fuel supply chains, enhances operational readiness, and contributes to energy sustainability. Intrinsic Power will be leveraging its relationships in the EV sector, its experience with developing energy systems, and its connections through its advisors and investors (Techstars, Plug and Play, etc.) to introduce its novel solution to the warfighter and the private sector for disaster management, off-grid communities, EV support, and more.
