BY PATRICK GORDON NAVAL DISTRICT WASHINGTON WATERLINE STAFF WRITER WASHINGTON -Since its deployment, the Smart Grid Pilot Program of Naval Dis- trict Washington (NDW) has been work- ing to monitor and evaluate energy usage among Navy installations throughout the region. At its core, this energy management concept provides responsible usage of re- sources while improving NDW’s cost effec- tiveness in asecure manner. “In fiscal year 2012, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations funded the NDW Smart Grid Pilot activity with the goal of es- tablishing foundational capabilities to en- able the energy mandates in acyber-secure fashion,” said Rear Adm. Patrick Lorge, commandant of Naval District Washing- ton. “They have accomplished the develop- ment of the Smart Grid industrial control architecture that has been tested, validated and certified by Fleet Cyber Command for Department of the Navy use; and we have only scratched the surface. While I’m excit- ed about the progress that the NDW team has made in achieving the Pilot’s goals, what is more impressive is how this team U.S. NAVY PHOTO BY PATRICK GORDON has established the criteria for and built an Jody Davenport, NDW Smart Grid Pilot program manager, explains the smart grid with ademo unit during atour of the Washington Navy operational Smart Grid.” Yard’s smart grid capabilities.
