RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NAVAL POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS (N00024-19-R-4145 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA))

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is seeking white papers for research and development projects that can advance and improve current and future shipboard electric power and energy systems. The focus areas include power generation, power conversion, power distribution, energy storage, and power controls. The Navy is interested in innovative approaches to power generation, including gas turbines, diesel engines, and other emerging power technologies. The goal is to develop a knowledge bank of information on potential generator sets and to maximize military effectiveness through design choice and configuration option flexibility. • The Navy is seeking white papers for research and development projects in the areas of power generation, power conversion, power distribution, energy storage, and power controls. • The focus is on advancing and improving current and future shipboard electric power and energy systems. • The Navy is interested in innovative approaches to power generation, including gas turbines, diesel engines, and other emerging power technologies. • The goal is to develop a knowledge bank of information on potential generator sets and to maximize military effectiveness through design choice and configuration option flexibility. • The project duration is expected to be around 5 years.
