E2 Technologies Awarded $2.4 Million Contract to Upgrade Air Force Infrastructure
E2 Technologies, LLC, a joint venture between the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) and Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), has been awarded a $2.4 million task order under an Air Force Research Laboratory contract designed to improve the U.S. Air Force’s energy efficiency and independence. Under this task order, CTC will investigate, install, and document infrastructure upgrades to improve Air Force installation energy resiliency.
“This is the 25th task order that E2T has executed under this $99 million contract; we continue to provide the Air Force with valuable expertise in research, testing, and transition of new energy and environmental technologies,” said Edward J. Sheehan, Jr., CTC President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our partnership with UDRI offers considerable experience and capabilities with regard to both the energy and environmental technologies and the requirements of the Air Force and other branches of the Department of Defense (DoD).”
This particular task order focuses on how to best sustain long-term operations at critical locations in the event of power failure, whether due to malicious or weather-related causes.
“First we will evaluate the current utility infrastructure and installation requirements, ” said Mark Ray, CTC Director, Operational Energy and Water. “Then we will select and install novel infrastructure, which could facilitate incorporation of renewable energy sources, fuel cells, energy storage, etc. and finally we will document our work so that it can be leveraged elsewhere in the Air Force and throughout the DoD.”
This task order, which runs from March 2017 to March 2019, will involve the work of 18 employees, notably electrical engineers, including utility experts.
