THE ROCKETEER THURSOAY, NovEMBeR 30, 1995 NAvAl. AIR WEJoPONS STATION, CHINA lAKe VeA. 51, No. 23 Renewable Energy Workshop attendees see ribbon cutting of world's largest stand-alone photovoitaic power system By Chuck Combs Energy Progom Office A s part of a Department of Defense Renewable Energy Workshop held at China Lake on Nov. 14-15, a ribbon cutting was held for the Photovoltaic (PV)/Diesel Hybrid Power System at the Superior Valley Bombing Range. The Energy Program Office and Geothermal Program Office co-sponsored the workshop, which focused on solar, wind and geothermal technologies. There were about 100 workshop attendees in spite of the gov- ernment shutdown the day before the workshop started. With a 350 kWp PV array, the Superi- or Valley PVlDiesel system is the largest stand-alone PV system in the world. It is the cornerstone of the DoD PV program and represents demonstration and tech- nology transfer for a large application class within DoD and the federal govern- ment. The system represents not only a technology breakthrough, that of using a high power (300 kW) stand-alone power processing system made up of multiple isolated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) machines operating in parallei, but a contracting milestone as well. Due to the usual Washington programmatics, the money, which expired Sept. 30, 1994, was not received at China Lake until May 15, 1994. A concerted coordinated effort by the Weaponsffargets Research and Engineering Contracts Division and the Energy Program Office led to a 53.6 million contract award on Sept. 16, 1994 - 70 days after the stub was submitted on July 8, 1994. The nominal time of award for a contract of this scope is 265 days. DoD is the largest single energy user in the world. In 1992, DoD accounted for 87 percent of all federal government energy consumption, and for 72 percent of all federal government building/facili- ty energy usage.

These com- ments came at a farewell party for the former Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division vice commander held Nov. 21. In addition to the usual plaques from the competency leaders, Hull received a balloon sculpture and a poem in his honor from the Ridgecrest Chamber of Commerce and a key to the City of Ridgecrest. In presenting the key, Mayor Curt Bryan said it didn~ open a single locked door anywhere in the city. About 100 people, including RAdm. Dana McKinney, NAWCWP- Shaping Your Future Business Recovery Team's who's who, Talent Sharing data bases and mare open dialog 8-10 NS commander, attended the farewell event. McKinney said he would miss Hull's loyalty and dedication to the command. He praised the departing vice commander for his untiring efforts in communicating with the employees and the communities outside the fence at the two major sites. Other presenters included Sterling Haaland, who served as master of cere- monies, Capt. Doug Henry, Dillard Bullard, Matt Anderson, Cdr. Randy Sweeney and Cdr. Gregg Howard. Hull noted that with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, his new duty station, scheduled to move to San Diego in 1997, China Lake and Point Mugu hadn~*""" the last ofhim. His wife, Allison, joined him at the party and said she too would miss Cali- fornia and the people ofNAWCWPNS.
