Microgrids and Portable Renewable Power for Tactical Energy Resilience
Distributed Energy Architectures for Resilient Bases and Deployed Forces
Microgrids and portable renewable power systems address a structural vulnerability in modern military operations: dependence on centralized grids and exposed fuel logistics. In contested or climate-stressed environments, disruption of fuel convoys or civilian infrastructure can rapidly degrade command-and-control, surveillance, mobility and force protection. By integrating distributed generation, energy storage and intelligent control systems, deployable microgrids enable units to sustain operations autonomously and maintain continuity under hostile or degraded conditions. Within the broader framework of climate security and energy transition in defence, this capability strengthens operational endurance, reduces exposure of logistics chains and aligns tactical resilience with long-term strategic energy objectives.
