The U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense have joined forces with power generation equipment firm GE Vernova and the University of Utah to explore the potential of geothermal and hydrogen energy microgrids at military bases. Through the Tradewinds Solution Marketplace, the collaboration aims to develop utility-scale geothermal power plants both in the U.S. and globally to provide electricity to Defense Department installations. Energy Systems Group (ESG) will lead the team, focusing on designing power plants, with support from Sage Geosystems, EGI at the University of Utah, and GE Vernova. The selected team will utilize innovative geothermal technologies and expertise in power conversion, microgrid design, and hydrogen generation and storage. The initiative represents a shift towards enhancing energy resiliency and security by leveraging private capital for these cutting-edge energy solutions. The article also mentions previous contracts for microgrid projects, including a plan for a hydrogen fuel cell microgrid at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam in Hawaii, and a contract for developing direct-current microgrid technologies at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico. The U.S. Air Force continues to focus on energy resiliency and security through innovative collaborations and technology advancements.
