Abstract

Navy and Marine Corps bases in the continental United States derive almost all of their electricity from public utility companies. For this thesis, the conditions of service of select public utility companies in one part of the United States, the West Coast, were investigated. Particular attention was devoted to the utility companies' plans to allocate electricity to their customers if an emergency or a fuel shortage should occur. The second major area investigated was the internal management of electricity within Navy and Marine Corps bases. The load-shedding plans of about 80 bases were reviewed, and from these, guidelines were developed for the preparation of an optimal load shedding plan. Also, a unique approach to electrical allocation was developed. The approach is based on the utility theory of economics. (GRA)

United States Marine Corps mobile electric power optimization model. Master's thesis

Technical Report Samples, D

This thesis develops a methodology that can be used to determine the type and quantity of mobile electric power generators necessary to meet current and future total Marine Corps electrical demand. This determination is a major part of the formal Marine Corps Mobile Electric Power Requirements Analysis. It is conducted in two steps. The first step involves application of the Army's Belvoir Generator Allocation Program (BGAP), a computer program that determines individual unit generator requirements, to individual Marine Corps units. The second step uses the BGAP results as input and determines the total force generator requirements and allocations over timemore »« less
Diesel fuel to dc power: Navy & Marine Corps Applications

Technical Report Bloomfield, D.

During the past year Analytic Power has tested fuel cell stacks and diesel fuel processors for US Navy and Marine Corps applications. The units are 10 kW demonstration power plants. The USN power plant was built to demonstrate the feasibility of diesel fueled PEM fuel cell power plants for 250 kW and 2.5 MW shipboard power systems. We designed and tested a ten cell, 1 kW USMC substack and fuel processor. The complete 10 kW prototype power plant, which has application to both power and hydrogen generation, is now under construction. The USN and USMC fuel cell stacks have beenmore »« less

Caffeine Use among Active Duty Navy and Marine Corps Personnel

Journal Article Knapik, Joseph; Trone, Daniel; McGraw, Susan; ... - Nutrients

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) indicate 89% of Americans regularly consume caffeine, but these data do not include military personnel. This cross-sectional study examined caffeine use in Navy and Marine Corps personnel, including prevalence, amount of daily consumption, and factors associated with use. A random sample of Navy and Marine Corps personnel was contacted and asked to complete a detailed questionnaire describing their use of caffeine-containing substances, in addition to their demographic, military, and lifestyle characteristics. A total of 1708 service members (SMs) completed the questionnaire. Overall, 87% reported using caffeinated beverages ≥1 time/week, withmore »« less

Computer support to Navy Public Works Departments for their utilities function

Technical Report Fowler, B

This thesis explores the requirements for Automated Data Processing (ADP) support to Navy Public Works Departments in their role as Utilities managers for Navy and Marine Corps Shores Stations. Utilities function tasks which can benefit from ADP support are described. Results of a survey questionnaire sent to all sizable Public Works Departments are analyzed and Public Works Department utilities function existing ADP support and additional support requirements are profiled. Alternative sources for Public Works Department utilities ADP support are reviewed in light of the survey results. These alternatives are; Base Engineering Support, Technical (BEST) Program for software development to bemore »« less
Remediation of Navy and Marine Corps sites under environmental restoration program

Conference Van Wagner, B

As a forerunner to the more than $1.7 billion in Remedial Action Contracts (RACs) recently solicited by the US Navy, the Naval Energy and Environmental Support Activity (now referred to as the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center--or NFESC) has for the past three years provided Navy and Marine Corps facilities nationwide with the means to remediate their hazardous waste sites. Eight contaminant-specific contracts worth $150 million dollars were awarded by NFESC in the early 1990s to provide the Navy with a pilot program to judge the effectiveness of performing full-scale remedial actions. Innovative technologies such as Steam-Injection Vacuum Extraction (SIVE),more »« less
