- Description
- This is a modification to the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) N00024-10-R-4215 posted on 1 February 2010. This modification also makes changes to the Section 4 Research Opportunity Description under GENERAL INFORMATION of the original announcement. Priority for selection for full proposals for the modified areas of interest listed below, if any, will be given to white papers previously submitted or submitted within 30 days of this announcement. Any white papers that have already been submitted do not need to be resubmitted. The following paragraphs are substituted: Power Generation Module (PGM): A Power Generation functional element converts fuel into electrical power. The electrical power is transferred to one or more Power Distribution functional elements. An associated Power Generation module might typically consist of a gas turbine or diesel engine (prime mover), a generator, a rectifier (either active or passive), auxiliary support sub-modules and module controls. Other possible technologies include propulsion derived ship service (PDSS), fuel cells, or other direct energy conversion concepts. Power Generation concepts include 60 Hz wound rotor synchronous generator driven directly by a marine gas turbine (up to 30 MVA rating); 4 pole, 120 Hz, commercially derived or militarized design variants of the above; and higher speed, higher frequency, high power density variants of the above with high speed or geared turbine drive. Near term interests are in the area of innovative approaches to Power Generation concepts rated in the 3.5 to 5 MW range, utilizing gas turbine or diesel engines that address challenges associated with achieving reduced fuel consumption, decreased life cycle and acquisition cost, support of ship integration, and improved environmental compliance. Engines and generators should be either commercially derived or militarized design variants. The specific design issues to be considered include fuel efficiency, module level power density, machine insulation system characteristics, size, weight, cost, maintainability, availability, harmonic loading, voltage, power, fault protection, voltage and frequency response to large dynamic loading, interface to main or ship service bus, and commercial availability. Power Conversion Module (PCM): A Power Conversion functional element converts electrical power from one form to another. An associated Power Conversion module might typically consist of a solid state power converter and/or a transformer. Advanced topologies and technologies, such as the application of wide band gap devices, will be considered. Near term interests are in the area of innovative approaches to address 4160 VAC or 450 VAC to 1000 VDC Power Conversion Module development with power levels on the order of 3MW (analogous to the PCM-1A on the NGIPS Technology Development Roadmap). The specific design issues to be considered include modularity, open architecture, reliability, cost, and conversion efficiency. The current baseline is 32,800 lbs and 168 W x 54 D x 81 H. Target space and weight for a PCM-1A are 3,500 lbs and 60 W x 60 D x 60 H, with a threshold of a two-times improvement to the baseline power density. Energy Storage Module (ESM): An Energy Storage functional element stores energy. A number of alternative energy storage technologies and/or configurations (location within the distribution system and capacity) may be considered for future ship applications, such as battery, capacitor-based, fuel cell, fly wheel, or superconducting energy storage. Shipboard power quality and continuity along with examination of the implications of future high power/pulse power loads on configuration/technology alternatives is critical. Energy storage modules may consist of short duration (micro/milli second), mid duration (5 to 30 minutes), or long duration (>30 minutes/hours) energy storage applications which utilize a combination of technologies to minimize power quality and continuity impacts across the system. For the short duration energy storage applications, the ESM should provide hold-up power to uninterruptible loads for fault clearing and transient isolation, as well as load leveling for pulse power loads. For the mid duration, the ESM should provide up to approximately 3MW of standby power for pulse power loads while also providing continuity of operations for a subset of equipment between uninterruptible and full ship s load (including emergency power generation starting in a dark ship condition). For long duration applications, ESMs should provide the required power as an emergency backup system or to provide increased stealth for specialty equipment. The required duration for this type of application may extend up to days or longer, and may be intermittent or continuous. Near term interests are in the area of common and scalable hardware and software elements which enable advanced weapons and sensors while reducing risk of single generator operations and increasing fuel savings. The specific design issues to be considered include reliability, volumetric and gravimetric power and energy densities, differentiating between high levels of stored energy and high energy density. The relevant information required for characterizing technology performance include: production capability (number of cells produced per year, kWh/MWH per year); Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of components and systems; safety evaluation and qualifications performed on relevant subsystems or components (any hazard analyses of systems designs as relevant to notional applications); other military application of the devices; energy storage management system approach; thermal characteristics, constraints, and cooling requirements; auxiliary requirements (load); device impedance (heat generation characteristics); and device efficiency (discharge/recharge). All other information contained in the original announcement remains unchanged.
