Bending the DoD Energy Consumption Curve with Big Data Analytics (Conserving Energy with 1's and 0's)

摘要

In 2014 Frontier Technology, Inc. (FTI) utilized Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) funded technologies to develop a Decision Support and Optimization System Model for energy consumption for the United States Navy's Fleet Forces Command (USFF). SBIR technologies provided innovative high-end data processing (ELAPS ™), predictive analytics (NormNet ™) and a metrics progress analysis engine (MPAE ™). This effort resulted in the Fleet Energy Conservation Dashboard (FECD) that is part of the Global Energy Information System (GENISYS) Program. FECD encompasses both a shore based data warehouse and analysis system and a ship based information system focused on energy security, consumption and efficiency. FECD was developed to support the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) goal to reduce ship consumption by 15% and non-tactical petroleum use in the commercial fleet by 50% by 2020 to improve Fleet readiness.
