1.1 BACKGROUND

The Machinery Research and Silencing Division (Code 32) of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), provides research and development services to high energy power distribution systems for shipboard use. Future naval capabilities will require a 1,000-volt direct current (VDC) electrical system in order to meet the needs of future materiel. Designing a high power, 1,000-VDC battery to serve in this system will add energy storage capacity needed for future weapons and shipboard systems. The 1,000-VDC battery will combine a newly developed and patented battery cooling technology developed by Auburn University (AU) and IntraMicron Inc. (IM) (of Auburn, Alabama) along with an established Li-ion battery producer that is owned and operated within the United States (K2 Energy of Henderson, Nevada). The Auburn University-IntraMicron-K2 team has developed bench-level battery pack prototypes under past Navy support that can be safely operated at discharge rates nearly four times greater than those currently available to the Navy.

IntraMicron Inc. (IM) and Auburn University (AU), under Contract N00014-14-C-0360, have developed and patented a battery cooling technology (i.e. MFM-PCM, microfibrous media with phase change materials) for battery packs of mid-form power Li-ion cells to be operated for extremely high pulse power applications. K2 Energy, a US Li-ion battery producer, has been developing mid-form power cells under Contract N68355-17-C-0051.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall provide engineering and technical services required for the design, development, fabrication, test, and repair of a 1,000-VDC prototype battery system to meet the US Navy’s pulse power needs. The battery packs and the first battery system will be sent to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) for initial test and evaluation. The Contractor shall integrate a thermal management system into a lithium ion battery in order to meet the 1,000-VDC voltage requirements.
