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.
