“…Most existing literature generally does not discuss how to define sufficient energy availability to meet operational needs. Strakos et al discuss how DOD energy policy and research is organized into categories: energy research for reducing demand, expanding energy supplies, and building energy policy into the future force without a central mechanism to support strategic goals [64]. Hartranft focuses on US Army installation energy security, and recognizes that there is a diverse range of missions with scalable energy requirements [65].…”

We propose a methodology to determine the impact of different potential mission scenarios upon energy resilience for mission-critical loads attached to a military base’s microgrid infrastructure. The proposed methodology applies to any installation with changing operational states that has energy-resilience requirements. The proposed methodology may be used by energy managers to account for potential mission scenarios that a base may be part of, followed by assessing the microgrid energy resilience to supply the critical loads for said mission scenarios, especially where the external grid power may be unavailable and/or damage to microgrid components may be present. In the event a microgrid design is unable to provide sufficient electrical energy, distributed energy resources and energy storage systems including renewable energy resources may be added to improve energy resilience. A case study is conducted on a fictitious representative military base, microgrid design, and changing mission demands to demonstrate the application of the proposed methodology. This article contributes a methodology for energy managers to evaluate energy resilience using microgrids by accounting for potential mission scenarios, their energy requirements, resulting energy preparedness, and recommendations for improvement, as necessary.

Also, the articles analyze innovative approaches of knowledge management strategies, as ignorance management in multinational organizations (Israilidis et al, 2012) or usage of video-based performance support systems for online management information system (Ruffner et al, 2011).…”

The objective of this study is to review current research on knowledge management in military and to identify the main streams where research is performed. Knowledge in the military is perceived as a tool and means for effectiveness and has been analyzed from diverse standpoints. Accordingly, the studies in this field take different paradigms and represent the perspective of management, social networking, organizational psychology, information technology and other fields towards the phenomena of knowledge in the military and its management practices. Although previous studies on knowledge management in military have presented some literature overviews, this study is the first to provide a systematic analysis using content mapping. Systematic literature review using in-depth text mining and bibliometric networks are used as methods for this study. The data consist of theoretical, analytical and research papers retrieved from Web of Science Clarivate Analytics (VoS) (N=406) and Scopus databases (N=317). According to findings, knowledge management research in the military is performed in three streams. The larges stream represents management science paradigm. The second largest stream represents interdisciplinary perspective and the smallest stream is predominated by technical solutions in the military knowledge management. The results of in-depth text mining identify the recent trends in knowledge management research in the military. They are associated with knowledge integration and strategy.

“…Therefore, the intensity and scope of military operations keep increasing, resulting in the consumption of all sorts of fossil fuel skyrocketed to great heights [1]. It has been reported that the United States Department of Defense (DOD) is the largest single energy consumer in the country [2]. In order to deliver petroleum products to forward operation and stationary bases, soldiers need to risk their lives in midway due to unexpected explosions caused by the enemy.…”

Asymmetric Information in Military Microgrid Confrontations—Evaluation Metric and Influence Analysis

2020

Due to the wide integration of information technology in equipment and weapons, a stable and reliable power supply has become one of the pivotal factors in modern warfare to achieve victory. As a critical infrastructure to provide continuous energy supply during long-duration electrical outage, military microgrid always suffers fierce attacks from the enemy. In order to improve the defense effect, a lot of investigation has been made into resource allocation, Distributed Generator (DG) distribution, network reconfiguration, and so forth. Nevertheless, the information gap between defender and attacker has not been considered in the literature. Therefore, this paper is intended to highlight this information mismatch to appeal for community attention and evaluate its capability to improve defensive performance. Firstly, a novel assessment metric is proposed to identify the level of asymmetric information. Then, an Attacker-Defender (AD) model is developed to describe the zero-sum game between two opposite agents, which is subsequently tackled with dual theory and big-M method. Finally, three cases ranging from 6-bus to 57-bus are utilized for numerical experiments to analyze the influence of asymmetric information on military microgrid confrontation. Results on various levels of attack strength validated the effectiveness and significance of asymmetric information in eliminating the attack damage and improving the defensive performance.
