Military energy storage development trend

What are the three stages of military energy transformation?

Energy trends are analyzed in three stages including generation, transfer and storage through technology mining. Scenarios are developed based on the future characteristics of warfare and emerging energy needs of military operations. Stages of military energy transformation are described and strategies for military energy are formulated.

How should research and technology development consider military and energy resources?

In summary, research and technology development about military and energy should consider military technologies, human, and energy resources in a holistic way. 3. Methodology

What technologies are being developed in the military?

Discussion and conclusion Scenarios developed based on the trends in military concepts and technologies, and changing energy landscape indicate that renewable energy generation, advanced large/medium/small-scale storage technologies and wireless energy transfer are among the most prominent technologies to be developed.

How can a military base benefit from technology?

Military units when undertaking exploration or civil operations may benefit from these technologies when they are on the field outside the base. Wireless systems can also be used to power remote preventive sensor systems. In addition, solar power systems and energy produced from waste can be used to meet the daily operational demand of the base.

How 'energy transformation' is affecting military energy use?

Aforementioned research conducted by Soljajic (Kurs et al., 2007) is expected to have high impact to address these energy supply concerns. In relation to energy use in military, ‘energy transformation’ is also considered to be crucial in parallel to the use of diverse energy generation, storage and transfer technologies.

How has military energy changed over time?

Not only the quantity, but also the type of energy required for military operations has changed dramatically. Shifts have been observed from individual man power to machines powered by fuel and electricity.
