Radiance Technologies and South Dakota State University (SDSU) responded to a BAA forresearch in Alternative Power Technology

During research of Microgrid and Photovoltaic, we developed a smart Microgrid controller

This became the HAMPS Research Program. The DoD customer is Space and Missile Defense Command

This program addresses a concern of the warfighter to reduce usage of fuel

The team operates out of the SDSU’s facilities, with three Radiance employees onsite and the remainder of the team supported by SDSU

Base one-year contract with Option 1 executed for an additional year

Total contract was approximately $6 million

Both distance between locations (Alabama and South Dakota) and weather were factors on this contract

RT0808.0002 6

HAMPS is a Hybrid Advanced Microgrid Power System that: Is A Separate Unit (about the size of the generator) that Augments Existing/Newly Deployed Generator Systems (Plug and Play)

Contains a Battery Energy Storage System Supplies Back-up and Emergency Power Supplies Low Power Profile Demands; Uses Generator for recharge running at high efficiency

Contains a “Smart” Power Management Controller that Optimizes Generator for High Efficiency Operation

Saves Significant Amounts of Fuel (44% for TOC Profile)

Reduces Generator Size and Run Time

Reduces Logistical Footprint...transport, storage and security

Tailorable to Match Generator Size and Mission Needs

RT0808.0002 7

Saves Fuel and Reduces Logistics Footprinto May Allow Use of Smaller Generatoro Runs at Higher Load Factoro Reduces Wet Stacking and Maintenanceo Reduces Runtimeo Less Fuel Transport, Storage, Security...convoys, tankers, guards

Provides Emergency/Back-up Powero During Commercial Power Grid Outageso During Generator Outageso During Routine Maintenance/Generator Change Outo During Periods of Silent Operation

Compatible with Most Any Generator

Compatible with Other Alternative Energy Sources Solar or Wind

Pros Cons

Provides a conduit for the University’s research to fill customers needs…”connect the dots”

We gain insight to leading edge research and development

Ability to identify young, energetic, intelligent, and emerging workforce with time to see them in action

Partnership works well with Industry's capability to augment the work requirements, i.e., supporting peeks in the workforce requirements

Communication and schedule difference in University and Industry

Delays as you work with students versus an experienced workforce

Universities have non US Citizens who do not meet the requirements of a classified contract

University’s process is not set up to meet the customers’ requirements, i.e., reporting system for tracking hours
