Utility Partnerships Helping the Agency Meet Strategic Goals Energy Integration Program Submarine Base New London, CT Craig S. Prather, PE, CEM, PMP, MBA Naval Facilities Engineering Command August 16, 2017 Tampa Convention Center Tampa, Florida
Naval Submarine Base New London, CT Submarine Capital of the World Mission: Provide the facilities, deliver the services and create the environment for the Fleet, Fighter and Family to: deploy combat-ready submarines and their crews; and, train a corps of professional submariners. 2
SUBASE NLON Orientation Operational Waterfront 15 SSNs (Homeported) 2 Sub Squadrons / NSSC Regional Support Group Naval Submarine Support Facility Submarine University Land and facilities Plant Replacement Value - $1.6B 240 facilities 9 barracks 530 acres off-base 687 acres on-base 1,897 PPV Housing Units Personnel Electrical Energy Data 70 tenants Ave Load 12MW 6,000+ active /reserve military Peak Load 20MW 12,000 family members High Ratcheted Demand Charges 12,000 retirees 1,300 Civilian employees 1,000 Contractors 15,000 other Service personnel/ year 3
SUBASE NLON Energy Situation Problems Statement: Nuclear Submarines require resilient shore power for them to enter maintenance and crew training. Any loss of power causes emergency remobilization of crew and impacts planned maintenance Current Situation: Vulnerable to Commercial Grid Interruptions Unable to Isolate Critical Loads Onsite DERs is Under Capacity High Ratchet Demand Charges Power Distribution, Switching are NOT Automated. Hours to manually reset Energy Inefficient Systems & Facilities No Centralized Control for Demand Resp Steam Not Optimized Key Organizations: Concerned, but Unaligned and Inconsistent Approach Desired Future State: Provide Resilient, Reliable, Efficient and Secure power system Ensure Continuity of Power for most Critical Assets Achieve Cybersecurity IAW Risk Management Framework (RMF) Enhance Partnership Create Team Wins Future capability to provide emergency power to off-base critical loads 4

Program Key Wins Reliable Power Source to meet customer needs should human or natural disaster interrupt transmission/ distribution Resilient, Automated and Secured Microgrid to isolate critical and priority loads Maximize Energy Efficiency Enhance the overall Military Value of SUBASE NLON Leveraged and Synergized Financial resources Complement the balance of the Utility provider future distribution based Microgrid to be interconnected strategically in the near future in layers. Utility Provider remains Provider of Choice in helping achieve goals/ objectives SUBASE NLON and surrounding support systems remain viable and key components of region and state economy Potential reduction of power supply cost, reducing electric cost to customers Potential use of waste heat for additional benefit Fuel cell is produced in CT, further benefiting the CT economy and businesses Enhance Partnership Allow for future capability to provide emergency power to local town, if needed 13
