RENEW and REDUCE: Clean Energy for Military Use

RENEW and REDUCE: Microgrid forms that can provide clean energy for military use

Fuel transportation is a risky affair and technically complex task for soldiers. In a bid to relieve them from the tangles of energy management, U.S. military scientists are testing microgrids that will provide clean energy, produced in the field. There are two primary systems, RENEW and REDUCE, which are being developed and tested by U.S. Africa command as the possible solution to this problem. Read after the break to learn more about the operation of the two systems.
