The U.S. Army celebrated the launch of a new water resiliency microgrid at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The $10.9 million hybrid microgrid, featuring a 700-kW solar photovoltaic array, a 500-kW natural gas generator, and a 500-kW lithium-ion battery storage system, will provide backup power to critical groundwater wells on the base. Garrison Commander Col. Donyeill Mozer highlighted the importance of the microgrid in ensuring mission readiness during power disruptions. This initiative aligns with the Army's mandate for installations to operate independently for 14 days without civilian services. The project, completed by Hannah Solar Government Services-Ameresco, aims to enhance energy efficiency and reliability while demonstrating a commitment to sustainability. The article also mentions White Sands' hydrogen-powered nanogrid, a self-sufficient electric generation system designed for off-grid operations. This nanogrid integrates solar panels, water generators, hydrogen storage, and battery systems for continuous, remote operation. The initiative showcases the military's dedication to energy security and innovation. The projects at White Sands Missile Range highlight a significant step towards a more resilient, sustainable, and environmentally responsible future for military operations.
