Current micro-grid technology faces significant challenges when deployed in remote off-grid environments, where extreme conditions such as severe weather, intense heat, and isolation from infrastructure often lead to frequent system failures, diminished operational efficiency, and increased maintenance demands, posing heightened risks to the warfighter. Additionally, the logistical complexities of transporting, installing, and maintaining these systems in remote locations calls for specialized transportation and skilled personnel for setup, monitoring, and management, which, combined with the environmental challenges, hinder the military's ability to ensure a reliable and sustainable energy and internet supply during critical operations, ultimately impacting mission success.

The PowerPole 

Dragon Q Energy had  developed a troop deployable all-in-one off-grid power generation, storage, distribution and monitoring system through our patent-pending PowerPole; a system designed to prevent explosion and deflagration, while employing multiple ways to control and mitigate thermal runaway in order to safely and efficiently meet the energy needs of military operations in remote and challenging environments.

​

The PowerPole can be easily transported by helicopter, airplane, or in a Hummer pickup in a single crate and is fully scalable from 2-8 kWh. The units can be configured with 1000W and 2000W inverters along with solar arrays ranging from 115W to 920W to meet the diverse needs mission at hand. The battery technology itself is versatile, with applications ranging from ship and airborne applications to multi- megawatt systems for stationary use, such as military bases and datacenters.

 

By deploying our batteries just below the surface, we strategicaly leverage geothermal cooling to maintain optimal performance and extend operational life, even when ambient temperatures exceed 120°F. This approach not only enhances thermal management but also provides a tactical advantage by reducing the units' signature, concealing them from satellite surveillance and thermal imaging systems. Furthermore, the PowerPole employs a pressurized argon, oxygen-free, environment to significantly reduce the risk of cell fires, explosion and progression of battery pack fires, ensuring safety for the warfighter. Units can be outfitted with a satellite internet connection or can be integrated into existing 5G networks to enable remote monitoring and real-time data transmission, ensuring reliable connectivity on the battlefield.
