A study team was commissioned by Headquarters, United States Army Installation Management Command (HQ IMCOM), under the leadership of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL), to determine the electric power requirements of Fort Wainwright, Alaska (FWA) through the year 2020, and energy supply alternatives to meet these requirements. Of particular importance was the impending winter and the fact that the installation thought it would not have the ability to meet all electrical demand, in approximately six months. Although several studies of the FWA electric power situation were performed over the past few years, the major concern was that recent increases in demand due to new construction brought about by newly added troop deployment units to the installation, a reduction in the number of facilities scheduled for demolition, coupled with the temporary loss of some generating capacity from the FWA Central Heating and Power Plant (CHPP), could result in a power shortfall during the upcoming 2006/2007 winter season. The study involved the following six primary tasks: (1) Establishing the generating capabilities of the FWA CHPP as well as FWA’s electric power import capacity, based on existing interties to the local utility; (2) Determining the annual electric power requirements through the year 2020; (3) Performing a limited condition assessment of the CHPP-related electrical system to identify critical items in need of repair/replacement; (4) Determining the ability of the local electric utility and other electric power suppliers to meet FWA electric demands through the year 2020; (5) Identifying options for meeting any electric power shortfalls likely to occur through the year 2020; and (6) Identifying methods and costs to improve electrical reliability focusing on redundart equipment and systems. The study determined that the potential power shortfall ranged from 2.3 megawatts (MW) to 3.8 MW for the winter of 2006/2007; 3.6 MW to 5.1 MW for the winter of 2007/2008; 6.3 MW to 7.8 MW in 2011; and 9.7 MW to 11.2 MW by the year 2020, Furthermore, the study corroborated earlier reviews that the switchgear was in immediate need of attention to ensure safe and reliable operation. The subsequent recommendations, which were implemented, included the installation of a nominal 7.5 megavolt-ampere (MVA) transformer to increase import capacity to meet potential shortfalls between 2006 and 2007 and a detailed review of the switchgear condition. Recommendations for upgrade of the switchgear are being pursued, along with further increase in transformer capacity (2 × 20 MVA substation) to ensure no electric power shortfalls through the year 2020.

With the current state of automotive electrification, predicting which electrification pathway is likely to be the most economical over a 10- to 30-year outlook is wrought with uncertainty. The development of a range of technologies should continue, including statically charged battery electric vehicles (BEVs), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and EVs designed for a combination of plug-in and electric road system (ERS) supply. The most significant uncertainties are for the costs related to hydrogen supply, electrical supply, and battery life. This greatly is dependent on electrolyzers, fuel-cell costs, life spans and efficiencies, distribution and storage, and the price of renewable electricity. Green hydrogen will also be required as an industrial feedstock for difficult-to-decarbonize areas such as aviation and steel production, and for seasonal energy buffering in the grid. For ERSs, it is critical to understand how battery life will be affected by frequent cycling and the extent to which battery technology from hybrid vehicles can be applied. Unsettled Issues in Electrical Demand for Automotive Electrification Pathways dives into the most critical issues the mobility industry is facing.

Nowadays, the most decisive challenges we are fronting are perfectly clean energy making for equitable and sustainable modern energy access, and battling the emerging alteration of the climate. This is because, carbon-rich fuels are the fundamental supply of utilized energy for strengthening human society, and it will be sustained in the near future. In connection with this, electrochemical technologies are an emerging and domineering tool for efficiently transforming the existing scarce fossil fuels and renewable energy sources into electric power with a trivial environmental impact. Compared with conventional power generation technologies, SOFC that operate at high temperature is emerging as a frontrunner to convert the fuels chemical energy into electric power and permits the deployment of varieties of fuels with negligible ecological destructions. According to this critical review, direct ammonia is obtained as a primary possible choice and price-effective green fuel for T-SOFCs. This is because T-SOFCs have higher volumetric power density, mechanically stable, and high thermal shocking resistance. Also, there is no sealing issue problem which is the chronic issues of the planar one. As a result, the toxicity of ammonia to use as a fuel is minimized if there may be a leakage during operation. It is portable and manageable that can be work everywhere when there is energy demand. Besides, manufacturing, onboard hydrogen deposition, and transportation infrastructure connected snags of hydrogen will be solved using ammonia. Ammonia is a low-priced carbon-neutral source of energy and has more stored volumetric energy compared with hydrogen. Yet, to utilize direct NH3 as a means of hydrogen carrier and an alternative green fuel in T-SOFCs practically determining the optimum operating temperatures, reactant flow rates, electrode porosities, pressure, the position of the anode, thickness and diameters of the tube are still requiring further improvement. Therefore, mathematical modeling ought to be developed to determine these parameters before planning for experimental work. Also, a performance comparison of AS, ES, and CS- T-SOFC powered with direct NH3 will be investigated and best-performed support will be carefully chosen for practical implementation and an experimental study will be conducted for verification based on optimum parameter values obtained from numerical modeling.
