The topic EDF-2021-ENERENV-D-NGES “Next generation electrical energy storage for military forward operation bases” aims to assess the current energy storage systems that are developed for civil use and that might be used at a military level, addressing the development of an application-oriented analysis, including a draft guideline recommendation for novel, safe and usable energy storage technologies for military deployments in forward operation bases; and achieve validation in relevant environment. According to the topic’s description, the NOMAD project proposal will comprehend both components and system integration analysis, using the results and requirements to define a guideline recommendation for the energy storage systems and their integration. An evaluation of the availability of different energy storage alternatives within the industry and from reliable sources must be made. Additionally, tests of a representative application-specific energy storage system will be carried out for validation of these requirements with the aim to create a European platform for the implementation of these systems. The objective of the NOMAD project is to build a collaborative framework among European industries, R&D organizations and relevant stakeholders to promote and support the development and operational validation of European energy storage and associated technologies, from feasibility studies to validation in relevant environments. This objective would be accomplished through the evaluation of energy storage and associated technologies with potential use in FOBs in the short, medium and long term, based on functional and operational requirements from end users; the design, development and integration of technology demonstrators at component and system level, at least two based on building blocks, and the testing of such demonstrators to improve the final solutions and support the development of capacities of the involved partners; the dissemination of the results, etc.
