Revolutionizing Defense: The Crucial Role of Microgrids and Schneider Electric in Department of Defense Energy Resiliency

Last month, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) said that U.S. power grids are becoming more susceptible to cyberattacks every day, with vulnerable attack vectors increasing by about 60 a day. What’s more, extreme weather events also place the grid and power supply at risk. At the same time, energy resiliency is an increasingly critical component of national security. The U.S. simply cannot afford downtime of any fundamental infrastructure.

It is no surprise, then, that microgrids have emerged as a transformative solution for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). These decentralized energy systems, fortified by distributed energy resources, offer a way to keep critical power supply available should a national security incident occur. In a deployment that delivers an islanded source of power, microgrids offer unparalleled advantages in ensuring a robust and uninterrupted power supply. 

Schneider Electric, a pioneer in microgrid technology, is proud to advance microgrid innovation that can provide purpose-built solutions for the DoD. Let’s take a closer look at the indispensable role of microgrids in support of the DoD’s energy resiliency efforts, focusing on the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar as a compelling case study.

Yokota Air Base: A Model for Microgrid Excellence

The Yokota Air Base microgrid project in Japan, completed by Schneider Electric, exemplifies the strategic importance of microgrids for military installations. Despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, the $403 million project was successfully implemented, replacing outdated diesel generators with a natural gas-powered, steam-driven generator capable of producing over 10 megawatts. This sophisticated microgrid enables Yokota to operate as a self-sufficient power-generating island, maintaining critical operations even when disconnected from the main grid.

Microgrid Components and Schneider Electric’s Innovation

First, what is a microgrid? They are self-sustained, localized energy systems that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main power grid. Microgrids offer a range of benefits, including increased reliability, energy efficiency, and energy flexibility (such as drawing on solar power or other renewables). As a decentralized and autonomous energy solution, microgrids enhance the DoD’s ability to withstand disruptions and ensure the continuity of mission-critical operations. 

Key Schneider microgrid components for enhancing energy resiliency:

• Distributed Energy Resources (DERs): DERs, encompassing renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass, along with traditional power generation such as natural gas, create a diversified energy mix. Reducing dependence on a single power supply improves the microgrid’s overall reliability.

• Energy Storage: Typically in the form of advanced batteries, energy storage systems house excess energy generated during periods of low demand, making it available during high-demand periods or when the primary power source is unavailable. This ensures a consistent power supply, contributing to energy resiliency. 

• Control Systems: Microgrids are equipped with sophisticated control systems that monitor, manage, and optimize energy flow in real time. These systems use advanced algorithms to optimize energy usage, balance load distribution, and seamlessly switch between power sources, ensuring a continuous and stable power supply.

• Grid Connectivity: Microgrids can operate both connected to the main grid or in island mode, where they function independently. The ability to disconnect from the main grid during emergencies ensures that military installations can maintain critical operations even when the larger grid is compromised.

Microgrid Energy as a Service (EaaS) and Military Construction Procurement

Microgrid Energy as a Service (EaaS) presents an alternative and parallel approach to traditional military construction procurement, expediting and fortifying the DoD’s energy resilience mandate. EaaS is strategically designed to complement existing funding mechanisms like Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Programs (ERCIPs), not replace them. This forward-thinking approach allows military installations to harness microgrid benefits without burdensome upfront costs. 

EaaS agreements facilitate collaboration with industry leaders like Schneider Electric for designing, implementing, and managing microgrid systems, thus fostering a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure.

• Cost-Efficiency: EaaS agreements enable military installations to access microgrid benefits without significant upfront costs, crucial for meeting energy resilience goals within budget constraints.

• Expedited Implementation: EaaS streamlines procurement processes, expediting microgrid deployment. Schneider Electric’s expertise ensures a swift and efficient implementation, aligning with the DoD’s urgency in achieving energy resilience objectives.

Conclusion

Microgrid capabilities are not just technical ones; instead, they are essential for national security, offering specific benefits for military installations. With their distributed energy resources, Schneider microgrids are transforming the energy resiliency of the Department of Defense and, as such, have become indispensable assets for protecting the uptime of mission-critical infrastructure. 

Schneider Electric’s continued innovation in microgrid technology positions us at the forefront of this transformative field.  As demonstrated by the success of the Yokota Air Base project, and as military installations continue to face evolving challenges, microgrids are not merely a technological solution, but a strategic imperative, ensuring the DoD’s ability to fortify energy infrastructure and fulfill its mission in any circumstance. With the innovative Energy as a Service approach, DoD entities can strengthen energy resiliency without replacing existing funding mechanisms, reinforcing the Department’s commitment to a secure and sustainable energy future. 

Curt “Kibbles” Ebitz concluded a distinguished 30-year career in the Marine Corps, retiring as a Colonel in 2022. Following his retirement, he joined Schneider Electric, where he now serves as the Strategic Account Executive for Navy and Marine Corps accounts. In this role, Curt has been instrumental in advancing Schneider Electric’s mission to enhance the operational efficiency and sustainability of military infrastructure.

Schneider Electric partners with GR3N to tackle plastic recycling challenges in chemical sector

Schneider Electric has partnered with PET chemical recycler GR3N to create the first open automation system for the advanced plastic recycling industry.

With 50% of global plastic waste ending up in landfills and only 9% recycled, GR3N developed MADE, the Microwave Assisted DEpolymerization solution. This new process breaks down PET into its chemical building blocks that can be recombined to create new PET pellets with virgin-like quality for packaging and textiles, effectively closing the loop for hard to recycle plastic. The technology is based on alkaline hydrolysis, and it can manage a higher amount of impurities compared to the existing ones.

Through software-defined automation and hardware independence, we have been able to effectively de-risk our operations and push the boundaries of our technology,” said Fabio Silvestri, Head of Marketing and Business Development at GR3N.

We’ve been able to reconfigure our systems quickly when we see opportunities to improve efficiency, while avoiding supply chain issues due the hardware agnostic nature of the system. This is what is needed to make advanced plastic recycling at reality at scale.”

Due to EcoStruxure Automation Expert’s modular, agnostic nature, GR3N was able to choose the optimal technology for the demonstration plant and easily scale to new sites.

Global demand for plastics is expected to triple by 2060, with the amount of plastics in the ocean predicted to outweigh fish. Meeting demand and curbing pollution, while achieving net zero by 2050, requires a consumption model revolution.

The partnership between GR3N and Schneider Electric will enable the chemical recycler to scale operations to new sites quickly and cost-effectively. The solution is expected to reach industrial scale by 2027 with the construction of a 35-40kta plant which will include the pre-treatment, depolymerization and repolymerization.

Every year, people produce around 460 million tons of plastic, approximately 70% of which are sent to landfills or mismanaged,” said Christophe de Maistre, President Energy & Chemicals, Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric.

If we want to overcome the scale of plastic waste, there are certain non-negotiables. We must see integration across the whole product cycle, modularization to optimize and standardize engineering processes, as well as software defined automation solutions that delivers scalability, break siloes and acts as a gateway to advanced analytics. This project with GR3N demonstrates all of these principles, improving flexibility, scalability and the efficiency of their solution and enabling them to grow to an industrial scale.

1. Shipping Methods from China to Canada

When it comes to transporting goods from China to Canada, businesses have several shipping methods to choose from, depending on their specific needs, timelines, and budget. Each method offers distinct advantages and caters to different types of cargo, allowing importers to select the most suitable option for their logistics strategy.

Sea Freight from China to Canada

Sea Freight from China to Canada

Sea freight is the most popular and cost-effective method for shipping large volumes of cargo from China to Canada. This method is particularly advantageous for businesses looking to transport bulk goods, as it typically offers lower rates compared to air freight.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Sea freight allows companies to save money, especially when shipping large quantities. This is due to the economies of scale that come with using a container ship, which can carry thousands of tons of cargo at once.

  • Types of Cargo: Sea freight is ideal for a wide range of products, including machinery, electronics, furniture, and raw materials. The shipping containers come in various sizes, including 20ft and 40ft, to accommodate different types of shipments.

  • Transit Time: The typical transit time for sea freight from China to Canada ranges from 20 to 30 days, depending on the specific route and any potential delays at ports. While it may be slower than air freight, many businesses find sea freight to be a reliable option for non-urgent shipments.

  • Environmental Impact: As a more sustainable shipping option, sea freight generally has a lower carbon footprint per ton of cargo compared to air freight, making it an environmentally friendly choice for companies looking to reduce their impact.

Air Freight from China to Canada

Air freight is the fastest shipping method available for transporting goods from China to Canada. This option is well-suited for businesses that require expedited delivery, such as seasonal products or urgent inventory replenishments.

  • Speed: With transit times ranging from 5 to 10 days, air freight is the best choice for time-sensitive shipments. This rapid service can significantly enhance supply chain efficiency, allowing businesses to respond quickly to market demands.

  • Cargo Limitations: While air freight is incredibly fast, it is also more expensive than sea freight. As a result, it is generally best suited for high-value or perishable items, such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and fashion goods.

  • Security and Handling: Air freight offers enhanced security measures, making it a preferred choice for valuable shipments. Additionally, cargo handled by air freight often undergoes rigorous inspections, ensuring that items arrive safely and intact.

  • Flexibility: Air freight also provides increased flexibility in terms of shipping schedules, with multiple flights available to various destinations. This allows businesses to adjust their shipping plans according to their needs.

Door to Door Shipping from China to Canada

Door-to-door shipping is a comprehensive logistics solution that simplifies the process of importing goods from China to Canada. This method involves the entire shipping journey from the seller’s location in China to the buyer’s designated address in Canada, covering all logistics and customs clearance.

  • Convenience: One of the major advantages of door-to-door shipping is its convenience. Dantful International Logistics manages every aspect of the shipping process, including collection from the supplier, transportation, customs clearance, and delivery to the final destination.

  • Full-Service Offering: This shipping method often includes additional services such as packaging, insurance, and tracking, providing importers with a hassle-free experience and peace of mind.

  • Timeliness: While door-to-door shipping may take slightly longer than traditional methods, Dantful ensures timely delivery by coordinating all logistics seamlessly. The estimated time for door-to-door service can vary depending on the shipping method chosen (air or sea) but generally aligns with the aforementioned transit times.

  • Cost Considerations: Although door-to-door shipping may be higher in cost compared to basic shipping methods, the added convenience often justifies the expense for many businesses. It eliminates the need for multiple service providers and simplifies the logistics process.


How Long is Shipping from China to Canada?

Determining how long shipping from China to Canada will take depends largely on the chosen shipping method and various logistical factors involved in the process.

  • Ocean Freight: As mentioned earlier, shipping via ocean freight typically takes between 20 to 30 days. This timeframe includes the time it takes for the cargo to be loaded onto the vessel, the actual sailing time, and the customs clearance process upon arrival in Canada. Factors such as port congestion, weather conditions, and inspections can further influence transit times.

  • Air Freight: For those opting for air freight, the shipping duration is considerably shorter, ranging from 5 to 10 days. This method is ideal for urgent shipments, as it allows businesses to quickly replenish stock and meet customer demands.

  • Door-to-Door Shipping: The total time for door-to-door shipping will vary based on whether air or sea freight is used. If air freight is chosen, the total time may align with the 5 to 10 days mentioned. If sea freight is selected, the time frame would be closer to 20 to 30 days. The added convenience of door-to-door service ensures that all logistics are handled seamlessly, but businesses should remain mindful of the overall shipping duration based on their selected method.

By understanding the various shipping methods available and their respective timelines, businesses can make informed decisions that align with their logistics requirements and customer expectations.

Shipping Cost from China to Canada

When importing goods from China to Canada, understanding the shipping costs is essential for effective budget planning and overall logistics management. The cost of shipping can vary widely based on several key factors, including the shipping method, type of cargo, distance, and additional services required.

Factors Influencing Shipping Costs

  1. Shipping Method: The choice between sea freight and air freight significantly affects shipping costs. Generally, sea freight is more economical for larger shipments while air freight, although faster, tends to be substantially more expensive. Importers must assess their urgency and budget to choose the right method.

  2. Container Size: The size of the shipping container also plays a crucial role in determining costs. Standard container sizes include 20ft and 40ft, with costs varying accordingly. For example, shipping a 20ft container typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,500, while a 40ft container may cost between $2,000 and $4,500. Larger containers often provide better value for shipping heavier loads.

  3. Distance and Route: The geographical distance between the shipment’s origin in China and its destination in Canada influences shipping costs. Longer routes may incur higher fuel charges and handling fees, which can add to the overall shipping expense.

  4. Customs Duties and Taxes: Import duties, taxes, and applicable tariffs imposed by the Canadian government can significantly impact the total cost of shipping. It is crucial for businesses to be aware of these additional fees and incorporate them into their cost calculations.

  5. Additional Services: Additional services, such as insurance, customs clearance, and warehouse services, can also affect total shipping costs. For instance, opting for insurance can provide peace of mind for valuable shipments but will add to the overall expense.
