Project Overview
This project, Hybrid Power System (HPS), focuses on combing power generation and energy storage to meet Warfighter needs, creating a system that can provide Bidirectional charging. Aimed at enhancing increasing fuel efficiency, and operational resiliency, this initiative seeks to provide a reduced carbon emission solution for military operations.
Project Background
Addressing the demand for sustainable military power solutions, this project works with the AMMPS family of tactical generators, incorporating a Deployable Metering and Monitoring System (DMMS) to improve its efficiency and adaptability in field operations showing reduction in generator operations by up 73% and fuel reduction of 50%.
Key Responsibilities
System Modification and Integration: Tailor the HPS to meet specific military requirements, to include MIL-STD testing for environmental factors and vibration.
Technical Development: Work on the development, testing, and deployment of the Hybrid Power System with the integration of the Deployable Metering and Monitoring System (DMMS) to document savings created by the system.
Operational Testing and Demonstration: Conduct comprehensive testing to demonstrate the system's capabilities in real-world scenarios, ensuring it meets the operational needs of Warfighter missions.
Sustainability Analysis: Evaluate the environmental impact and operational efficiency of the system to ensure it provides a carbon reduction solution that aligns with sustainability goals.
Training and Documentation: Develop training materials and documentation to enable Warfighters to effectively use the system in the field, ensuring they can "train as they fight."
Qualifications
Major in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering.
A keen interest in learning about power systems and control systems.
Familiarity with controls, bidirectional invertors or energy storage is a plus!
Strong problem-solving, team collaboration, and adaptability skills.
