DATE

Project Team

● List the PI and co-performer(s) names and organization(s).

● Do not use this slide if there is only one organization involved in the project.

NOTE: This template provides the recommended number of slides for each section of the presentation, which should take no more than 30 minutes.

2

Problem Statement

● Clearly state the energy problem the technology demonstration will address and its relevance and importance to DoD.

● Identify the current approach (if one exists) to this problem and its shortcomings.

NOTE:

Limit to one slide only.

3

Technical Objectives

● Briefly describe the technical objective(s) of the project.

NOTES:

1. Limit to one slide only.

2. This section is meant to orient the ESTCP Technical Committee on the overall objectives of the project.

4

Technology/Methodology Description

● Describe the technology or methodology in sufficient detail to provide an accurate and factual understanding of its theory, functionality, and operation.

● As appropriate, provide an overall schematic or flow diagram.

● Discuss how the technology or methodology is innovative.

NOTE:

Limit to two to three slides.

5

Technology/Methodology Maturity

● Provide evidence that the technology or methodology is mature enough for demonstration. Provide a brief description of any previous related

demonstrations. Discuss any additional development, design work required prior

to demonstration.

NOTE:

Limit to two slides.

6

Technical Approach

● Provide an overview of how the project will address the technical objectives.

● Describe the proposed demonstration site(s). Highlight desired site characteristics for an optimal demonstration.

● Provide the performance objectives. ● Provide a broad overview of the test design. Discuss the scope of

the proposed demonstration and relate the planned data collection to the performance objectives.

● Describe the planned data analyses the project team will use to assess the performance objectives.

NOTE:

This section should consist of several slides and should be the focus of the presentation.

7

Technical Risks

● Identify potential issues of concern and technical risks in taking the technology or methodology from its current phase of development to the proposed scale of the demonstration.

● Identify any assumptions that have been made that, if not realized, could impact the successful implementation of the project.

● Discuss planned risk management.● If the demonstration is not at full scale, discuss any

scale-up issues that may remain at the conclusion of a successful demonstration.

NOTE:

Limit to one slide only. 8

Related Efforts

● Provide information on any relationship to other similar projects.

● Identify funding sources for the related efforts.

NOTE:

Limit to one slide only.

9

Expected DoD Benefit

● Describe the expected benefit in terms of energy security, energy savings, and/or reduced cost.

● Provide realistic projections of the number of DoD sites or facilities where the technology or methodology can be deployed.

● Discuss how the information obtained from the demonstration will enable adoption of the technology or methodology throughout DoD.

● Discuss the life cycle cost and advantages over current approaches.

● Discuss the projected economic benefit of the project in terms of simple payback and savings-to-investment ratio.

NOTE:

Limit to one to two slides.

Schedule of Milestones (continued)

● Highlight any emissions, environmental, operational or other permits required and briefly address the permitting process.

● Highlight any electrical or other interconnection agreements required and briefly address the process to develop and gain approval of the agreement(s).

NOTE:

Limit to previous slide plus one additional slide.

12

Technology Transition ● Describe the method by which the technology or methodology will

be transitioned to end user(s) or commercialized. ● Describe any proposed guidance documents that will assist in future

implementation (i.e., guidance, design, and/or protocol documents).● Explicitly identify potential first DoD users and follow-on

implementation. ● Identify any DoD or service programs that are responsible for

technology or methodology implementation or relevant requirements or regulations that will affect transition.

● Address any potential constraints imposed by the use of proprietary systems.

NOTE:

Limit to one to two slides.
