    Portable generators are useful when temporary or remote electrical power is needed, but they can also be extremely difficult to maintain, transport, fuel and utilize. When maintaining equipment in remote locations, standing up mobile hospitals, or other disaster relief activities, having a reliable source of power is critical. Although diesel engine generators are the standard remote power solution, they are also heavy, maintenance intensive, and require diesel fuel that in many locations, presents an extreme logistics challenge. As an alternative to diesel generators, clean electrical energy storage has emerged as a worldwide market option. Innovative organizations are using different renewable energy sources and new battery-based electrical storage devices to provide power necessary for remote operations and sustainment. The intent of this initiative is to create a Mobile Energy Storage System (MESS) that combines clean, renewable power generation with energy storage in a package that can be easily and safely transported to an expeditionary location and be easily maintained while in use.
