Research Opportunity Description The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is interested in White Papers for long and short term Research and Development (R&D) projects that offer potential for advancement and improvements in the implementation of shipboard Integrated Power Systems (IPS) and Integrated Power and Energy Systems (IPES) at the major component, subsystem and system level. IPS provides total ship electric power including electric propulsion, power conversion and distribution, energy storage, combat system support and ship mission load interfaces to the electric power system. IPES adds integrated energy storage and advanced controls to IPS in order to accommodate future High Energy Weapons and Sensors. The IPES Energy Magazine is available to multiple users, and provides enhanced power continuity to the power distribution system. The flexibility of electric power transmission allows power generating modules with various power ratings to be connected to propulsion loads and ship service in any arrangement that supports the ship's mission at the lowest total ownership cost (TOC). Systems engineering in IPS/IPES is focused on increasing the commonality of components used across ship types and in developing modules that will be integral to standardization, zonal system architectures, and generic shipbuilding strategies with standard interfaces that are Navy controlled. The modules or components developed will be assessed for applicability both to next generation shipboard electrical architectures and combat systems and to back-fit opportunities that improve the energy efficiency and mission effectiveness in the current fleet. NAVSEA wishes to continue to improve IPS/IPES by performing analysis, modeling and simulation, life cycle cost analysis, producibility studies, module development, ship integration, architecture design, ship electric architectures and support for high power weapons systems requirements, and related efforts. An evaluation of emerging technologies for ship applications (such as fuel cells, support for high energy weapons, support for high power radars, high-speed generators, and advanced power electronics) to determine future feasibility and development requirements will be conducted. The approach to hardware developed under this BAA is that it fosters modularity and scalability (so that families of products may be leveraged to multiple potential applications) and shall accommodate an open system architecture where interfaces are well defined and mutually accepted. Electric Ships Office: The Navy has initiated the Next Generation Integrated Power Systems (NGIPS), Naval Power Systems (NPS) and Naval Power and Energy Systems (NPES) efforts with centralized leadership by the Electric Ships Office (ESO). The mission of the ESO (PMS 320, organizationally a part of the Program Executive Office - Ships) is to develop and provide smaller, simpler, more affordable, and more capable ship's power systems for all Navy platforms by defining open architectures, developing common components, and focusing Navy and industry investments. The ESO will provide leadership of the developments identified as part of this BAA, will direct the transition of associated technologies developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and will manage the technology portfolio represented by Program Element (PE) 0603573N (Advanced Surface Machinery Systems) for transition into existing and future Navy ships. The guiding document that will be used to define the module developments that advance the NGIPS vision is the Next Generation Integrated Power System (NGIPS) Technology Development Roadmap, Naval Sea Systems Command Ser 05D/349 of 30 Nov 2007, which is publicly available under announcement N0002408R4123. The latest edition is the 2015 Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap (NPES TDR), which is available publicly on the NAVSEA web site. The areas of focus for White Papers and Proposals submitted in response to this BAA should include, but are not limited to, the analysis, development, risk reduction and demonstration of future shipboard electric power systems and components, emphasizing shipboard power generation, electric propulsion, power conversion, energy storage, distribution and control; power quality, continuity, and system stability; electric power system/component level modeling and simulation; energy storage technologies; electrical system survivability; simplicity and ruggedness. The Integrated Power and Energy System Architecture provides the framework for partitioning the equipment and software into modules and defines functional elements and the power/control and information relationships between them. For power generation, high power distribution, propulsion, and large loads, the architecture includes Medium Voltage AC power (with emphasis on affordability), High Frequency AC power (with emphasis on power density), and Medium Voltage DC power (with emphasis on power density and fault management). For ship service electrical loads, the architecture includes zonal electrical distribution which may be either AC or DC, depending upon the specific application. In addition to a full IPS implementation, modules that support a partially integrated power system, or Hybrid Electric Drive (HED) where mechanical propulsion is augmented by rotating electric machinery, or additional power generation or energy storage shall be considered. Also of particular interest are technologies that result in significant energy efficiency, power density improvements and/or carbon footprint improvements over existing propulsion and power system technologies. The NGIPS roadmap partitions the power system components functionally into modules. Those modules, subsystems and systems of interest include the following. Power Generation Module (PGM): A Power Generation functional element converts fuel into electrical power. The electrical power is transferred to one or more Power Distribution functional elements. An associated Power Generation module might typically consist of a gas turbine or diesel engine (prime mover), a generator, a rectifier (either active or passive), auxiliary support sub-modules and module controls. Other possible technologies include propulsion derived ship service (PDSS), fuel cells, or other direct energy conversion concepts. Power Generation concepts include 60 Hz wound rotor synchronous generator driven directly by a marine gas turbine (up to 30 MVA rating); 4 pole, 120 Hz, commercially derived or militarized design variants of the above; and higher speed, higher frequency, high power density variants of the above with high speed or geared turbine drive. Navy interests are in the area of innovative approaches to Power Generation concepts rated in the 5 to 30 MW range, utilizing gas turbine, diesel engines and other emerging power technologies that address challenges associated with achieving reduced fuel consumption, decreased life cycle and acquisition cost, support of ship integration, and improved environmental compliance. The specific design issues to be considered include fuel efficiency, module level power density, machine insulation system characteristics, size, weight, cost, maintainability, availability, harmonic loading, voltage, power, system grounding approaches, fault protection, response to large dynamic (step) or pulse type loading originated from ship propulsion or directed energy/electromagnetic weapons, interface to main or ship service bus, and commercial availability. Near term (2016-2017) interest is focused on the 20-30MW (nominally 25MW) output power rating and the power generation source able to supply two independent (where abnormal conditions on one bus does not impact the other bus) electrical buses at 12 kVDC. The Navy is interested in developing a knowledge bank of information on potential generator sets; the generator's electrical interface requirements; and the impacts of those requirements on generator set performance and size, as a logical next step from the Request For Information released under announcement N0002416R4205. A long-term goal for this effort is to maximize military effectiveness through design choice and configuration option flexibility when developing next-generation distribution plants. The power generation source must fit within the length of a typical DDG 51 Class engine room (46 feet, including allowances for any needed maintenance and component removal). The PGM is expected to have the ability to control steady-state voltage-current characteristic for each interface; ability to maintain stability; and the ability to adjust control set-points from system level controllers. For any proposed design approach, initial efforts would include conceptual design trade studies that inform the performance level that can be achieved. Trade studies may address Pulsed Load Capability (generator/rectifier design to increase pulse load capability, engine speed variation limits, and impact of cyclic pulse load on component life); Power Density (cost vs. benefits of high speed or high frequency, mounting on common skid, and advanced cooling concepts); Single vs. Dual Outputs (continuous vs. pulse rating for each output, voltage regulation with shared field, and control of load sharing); Efficiency (part load vs. full load optimization, flexible speed regulation, impact of intake and exhaust duct size/pressure drop on engine efficiency); Power Quality (voltage transient, voltage modulation for step, pulse loads, impact of voltage and current ripple requirements, and common mode current); PGM Controls (prime mover speed vs. generator field vs. rectifier active phase angle control, and pulse anticipation); Stability when operating in parallel with other sources; Short Circuit Requirements; and Dark Ship start capability (self-contained support auxiliaries). Trade studies may also address how rotational energy storage can be built into the design of the generator and what parameters need to be defined in order to exploit this capability. Power Distribution Module (PDM): A Power Distribution functional element transfers electrical power between other functional elements. Fault protection systems should be designed, if possible, to not require the power distribution modules to communicate control signals with any functional element other than system control. An associated Power Distribution module might typically consist of bus duct, cables, switchgear and fault protection equipment. Power Conversion Module (PCM): A Power Conversion functional element converts electrical power from one form to another. An associated Power Conversion module might typically consist of a solid state power converter and/or a transformer. Advanced topologies and technologies, such as the application of wide band gap devices, will be considered. Navy interests are in the area of innovative approaches to address 4160 VAC or 450 VAC to 1000 VDC Power Conversion Module development with power levels on the order of 3MW (analogous to the PCM-1A on the NGIPS Technology Development Roadmap). The specific design issues to be considered include modularity, open architecture, reliability, cost, and conversion efficiency. The current baseline is 32,800 lbs and 168"W x 54"D x 81"H. Target space and weight for a PCM-1A are 3,500 lbs and 60"W x 60"D x 60"H, with a threshold of a two-times improvement to the baseline power density. Power Load Module (PLM): A Power Load functional element is a user of electrical power received from one or more Power Distribution functional elements. The area of interest for the Power Load is the load interface definition and the provision of specialty power to optimize that load interface. Among the special load interfaces that would require development are support for pulsed power weapons and sensors such as radar power supplies, electromagnetic launchers (for example EM Railgun), and advanced laser systems, all of which would benefit from optimized integration with the shipboard power system. This would enable real time data and asset management and reconfiguration based on demand. The Navy has an interest in initiating the development of a capacitor based rep-rate pulsed power system with similar capabilities to that described in Office of Naval Research (ONR) announcement 10-RFI-0001. Concepts that align with the technology development required for the Electromagnetic (EM) Railgun and also support shipboard energy storage needs will be considered by both the Electric Ships Office and ONR for award. As an update to the industry caucus on December 2, 2009 under ONR solicitation 10-RFI-0001, the nominal module rating of 250 kilo-joules (kJ) and an energy density of 1.3 mega-joule-per-cubic-meter (1.3MJ/m^3) is contemplated. The energy density goal for the pulsed power component (excluding bus-work to launcher) is 1.3 MJ/m^3 or better. Reducing system volume is important, but this has to be balanced with system fault tolerance and cost. The Electric Ships Office (PMS 320) in conjunction with ONR is interested in both near term solutions that have the potential for rapid transition to a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) as well as longer term technology pushes that advance the science and would enable a future compact shipboard system. Risk reducing technology prototype demonstrations in the near term are encouraged. Propulsion Motor Module (PMM): Electric propulsion motors and propulsion motor drives are large electrical loads as well as NGIPS modules. Candidate propulsion motor concepts include Permanent Magnet Motors (radial air gap, axial air gap, or transverse flux), Induction Motors (wound rotor or squirrel cage), Superconducting field type (homopolar DC or synchronous AC). The drivers and issues associated with these designs include acoustic signature, noise (requirements, limitations, modeling, sources, and mitigation methods), shock, vibration, thermal management, manufacturing infrastructure, machine insulation system characteristics, commercial commonality, platform commonality, cost, torque, power, weight, diameter, length, voltage, motor configuration, and ship arrangements constraints. Motor drives that may be explored include cycloconverter (with variations in control and power device types), pulse width modulated converter/inverter (with many variations in topology), switching (hard switched, soft switched), and matrix converter (with variations in control, topology, cooling, power device type). Technologies for drives and rotating machines which allow the ability to operate both as a motor and a generator to facilitate a propulsion derived ship service (PDSS) installation or on a fully integrated power system to leverage the inherent energy storage in the ship's motion may be explored. Integrated motor/propulsor concepts may be considered either as aft-mounted main propulsion or as a forward propulsor capable of propelling a ship at a tactically useful speed. Energy Storage Module (ESM): An Energy Storage functional element stores energy. A number of alternative energy storage technologies and/or configurations (location within the distribution system and capacity) may be considered for future ship applications, such as battery, capacitor-based, fly wheel, or superconducting energy storage. Shipboard power quality and continuity along with examination of the implications of future high power/pulse power loads on configuration/technology alternatives is critical. Energy storage modules may consist of short duration (micro/milli second), mid duration (5 to 30 minutes), or long duration (>30 minutes/hours) energy storage applications which utilize a combination of technologies to minimize power quality and continuity impacts across the system. For the short duration energy storage applications, the ESM should provide hold-up power to uninterruptible loads for fault clearing and transient isolation, as well as load leveling for pulse power loads. For the mid duration, the ESM should provide up to approximately 3MW of standby power for pulse power loads while also providing continuity of operations for a subset of equipment between uninterruptible and full ship's load (including emergency power generation starting in a dark ship condition). For long duration applications, ESMs should provide the required power as an emergency backup system or to provide increased stealth for specialty equipment. The required duration for this type of application may extend up to days or longer, and may be intermittent or continuous. Near term interests are in the area of common and scalable hardware and software elements which enable advanced weapons and sensors while reducing risk of single generator operations and increasing fuel savings. The specific design issues to be considered include reliability, volumetric and gravimetric power and energy densities, differentiating between high levels of stored energy and high energy density. The relevant information required for characterizing technology performance include: production capability (number of cells produced per year, kWh/MWH per year); Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of components and systems; safety evaluation and qualifications performed on relevant subsystems or components (any hazard analyses of systems designs as relevant to notional applications); other military application of the devices; energy storage management system approach; thermal characteristics, constraints, and cooling requirements; auxiliary requirements (load); device impedance (heat generation characteristics); and device efficiency (discharge/recharge). Power System Control (PCON): A System Control functional element consists of the software necessary to coordinate multiple other functional elements. A System Control Functional Element receives information from other functional elements and external (non-IPS) systems. Similarly, a System Control functional element may receive control commands from or negotiate control actions with external systems and other functional elements. System Control manages the power and energy flow within the ship to ensure power is delivered to the right load in the right form at the right time. While various forms of power control have been implemented on commercial IPS ships, the survivability requirements for military ships combined with the pulse load characteristics for some of the loads described above will require more sophisticated algorithms than are commercially available. A System Control functional element resides on an external distributed computer system and therefore typically does not include hardware elements (unless specialized hardware is required). Energy Efficiency Enabling Technologies (E3T): Improving energy efficiency and energy management aboard ship by application of advanced electrical distribution and propulsion system related technologies is a Navy priority. E3T submissions may include technologies, modifications, and/or new components to existing and future ship systems that will increase the efficiency of electrical systems or facilitate the utilization of renewable energy sources to lower fuel and energy consumption on US Navy Ships. The areas of interest include but are not limited to propulsion, electrical distribution systems, electrical equipment, power conversion, and power generation. The Navy will consider approaches that modify systems and/or operations to affect quantifiable energy conservation in the Fleet. Emphasis is placed on technologies with an identified transition path capable of making near-term, measurable improvements to Navy energy conservation. This effort will be in conjunction with the requirements provided in the Naval Surface Warfare Center announcement N00167-11-BAA-01, which looks at similar technologies for application to Military Sealift Command vessels, and ideas will be shared with sponsors in both applications. Included in the scope of the BAA are development activities as described further in the Naval Power Systems Technology Development Roadmap (NPS TDR) available on the NAVSEA web site and released to industry under announcement N0002413R4217. A revision of the Technology Development Roadmap is presently in draft and will be released by separate announcement. Included in the scope of the BAA are development activities as described further in the Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap (NPES TDR) available on the NAVSEA web site. 5.

Full Proposals Award decisions will be based on a competitive selection of proposals resulting from a scientific review. Evaluations will be conducted using the following evaluation criteria: (1) overall scientific and technical merits of the proposal; (2) potential naval relevance and contributions of the improved performance of NGIPS modules and architectures; (3) the Offeror's capabilities, related experience, past performance, facilities, the qualifications/capabilities and experience of the proposed Principal Investigator, team leader and key personnel who are critical in achieving the proposal objectives; and (4) the realism of the proposed cost and availability of funds. The degree of importance of the Offeror's cost will be evaluated based on the assessment of the overall technical merit of the proposal and the funds available for the technology area proposed. 2. Evaluation Panel - Technical and cost proposals submitted under this BAA will be protected from unauthorized disclosure in accordance with FAR 3.104-5 and 15.207. The cognizant Government experts will perform the evaluation of technical proposals. Cost proposals will be evaluated by Government business professionals. VII. SECURITY CLASSIFICATION In order to facilitate intra program collaboration and technology transfer, the Government will attempt to enable technology developers to work at the unclassified level to the maximum extent possible. If access to classified material will be required at any point during performance, the Offeror must clearly identify such need prominently in their proposal. If Offerors use unclassified data in their deliveries and demonstrations regarding a potential classified project, they should use methods and conventions consistent with those used in classified environments. Such conventions will permit the various subsystems and the final system to be more adaptable in accommodating classified data in the transition system.
