Increased Energy Surety – Highly reliable power delivery – Cyber secure to protect against increasing attacks – Reduce dependency on single energy source when islanded (integrate
renewable and other distributed generation ) – Mitigate rising energy costs, volatile fuel prices and insecure supplies – Reduce carbon footprint; emissions and greenhouse gasses – Utility grid connected or islanded – Improve relationships with local communities – Suitable for increasing remote (off-grid) projects
SPIDERS Phased Approach

2.4MW microgrid built around wastewater treatment plant Completed January 2013
5.4MW microgrid built around mission-critical base command centers Completed October 2013
SPIDERS I – Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oahu, HI (7% PV)
5.0MW microgrid encompassing entire Navy Pacific Command base Completion Summer 2015
SPIDERS II – Fort Carson, CO (40% PV)
SPIDERS III – Camp Smith, Oahu, HI (20% PV)
IPERC GridMaster® Intelligent Power Controller

Project Methodology
8
• Evaluate Energy Needs • Review of Existing Assets • Customer and Site Limitations • Suggest Energy Options
Evaluation and Assessment
• Economic analysis (CAPEX/OPEX) • Equipment utilization; start-stop, cycling • Energy Consumption and Carbon Projections • Equipment mix selection
Modeling and Simulation
• Detailed Controls simulation • Installation and Commissioning • System Testing and Delivery • Customer Training
Implementation

NOT THIS THIS Reflects outdated mainframe mentality A central CPU is a single point of failure Custom software is hard to update Legacy code is vulnerable to cyberattacks Unique configurations are hard to scale
Reflects current internet mentality Distributed CPUs create a resilient system A consistent platform facilitates updates Original code written for cybersecurity A modular approach is inherently scalable
