Power & Energy Trends
25 September 2009 3
• Battlefield consumption of energy increasing– New C4ISR technologies– IED Defeat Systems– New weapons (EM guns, lasers)
• Energy security problematic– Increasing dependence on foreign oil– Alternative sources sought – wind, solar,
bio-mass, waste to energy
• Operational issues– Battery usage & limitations – energy &
power density– Demand for auxiliary power on-board
vehicles– Emphasis on silent (“quiet”) watch– Unmanned vehicles (air/ground)– Unattended sensors– Inefficient management/ distribution of
power– Demand for soldier-wearable power
• Increased emphasis on system power metrics (KPPs, low consumption components)

Temperature Impact on Cooling System
Approximate Northrop Grumman calculations for 600 shaft hp (about 500-550 kW Inverter)
For One 400 kW Traction Inverter• 70 ºC to 95 ºC => 56% reduction• 95 ºC to 130 ºC => 44% reduction
