Reference Energy System Analysis of a Main Battle Tank

Abstract

Energy plays an indispensable and vital role in daily life today. This role has compelled countries to share global energy resources and lead to wars throughout human history. Especially after the Industrial Revolution the intensive use of fossil fuels has led to an increase in greenhouse gases and caused climate change. Massive carbon emissions have necessitated a comprehensive effort to reduce carbon emissions. As in many other fields, numerous initiatives have been undertaken in the military field to address this issue. United Nations, NATO and European Defence Agency are undertaking various efforts to implement measures aimed at reducing carbon emissions while preserving the operational capabilities of militaries. Using energy modeling tools for energy planning is one of these efforts. In military field, main battle tanks are among the most carbon intensive military vehicles due to their high fuel consumption. In this study, an energy network for a Leopard 2 main battle tank was created and components were specified within a flowchart based on the concept of a reference energy system. On this basis, it will be possible to define and analyze the subunits of the established reference energy system using real data in the LEAP energy decision support tool. Furthermore, it is aimed to provide ideas for innovations that can reduce carbon emissions while preserving the operational effectiveness of main battle tanks.
