TSM Special Topic – USAF Air Force Office of Energy Assurance (AFOEA): Advanced Energy Storage for Installation Resilience

The Air Force Office of Energy Assurance (AFOEA) is seeking advanced energy storage technologies to improve installation energy resilience and mission continuity. The desired solutions should be demonstration-ready, non-lithium, and capable of supporting mission-essential loads during prolonged outages. The solutions should also enable flexible deployment applications and leverage DoD installations or national labs as test beds. The AFOEA is interested in procuring energy services rather than owning energy storage assets, and third-party financed solutions are preferred. • The solutions should address the problem of energy resilience and mission continuity during prolonged outages. • The solutions should be demonstration-ready within 12 months. • The solutions should enable flexible deployment applications (behind-the-meter and/or in-front-of-the-meter). • The solutions should leverage DoD installations or national labs as test beds. • The solutions should be non-lithium and advanced energy storage technologies.
