Our vision is to lead the advancement of tactical power and resilient microgrid architectures that give mission-critical operators dependable power wherever conditions are austere, infrastructure is degraded, or the grid is unavailable. We aim to integrate generation, energy storage, controls, protection, and distribution into modular, deployable systems that reduce generator dependence, shrink fuel burden, and strengthen operational endurance through transitions, contingencies, and sustained islanded operations. Beech Creek Power & Energy is building toward becoming the integrator of choice for adaptable, globally deployable hybrid power systems, including LOTaPS (Low Observable Tactical Power System) and PRISM (Portable Resilient Integrated Sustainment Microgrid).

Beech Creek Power & Energy develops advanced tactical power and resilient microgrid solutions for high-consequence environments where failure carries operational consequence. We engineer deployable hybrid energy architectures that integrate generation, energy storage, controls, protection, and distribution into modular, field-ready systems built to perform in austere, degraded-grid, off-grid, and expeditionary conditions.
Our expertise spans mission-driven power architecture development, hybrid dispatch and runtime optimization, modular packaging for global deployment, and practical system integration from design through commissioning. We focus on reducing generator dependence, shrinking fuel burden, and preserving operational endurance while sustaining reliable power through transitions, contingencies, and long-duration islanded operations.
Core focus areas include LOTaPS (Low Observable Tactical Power System), PRISM (Portable Resilient Integrated Sustainment Microgrid), containerized and man-portable microgrid integration, controls and protection coordination, and resilience-focused engineering designed for interoperability, sustainment, and scale. Our systems are built to open, modular integration principles and aligned to MIL-STD-3071 interoperability objectives, giving customers adaptable architectures rather than closed, vendor-locked solutions.

Beech Creek Power & Energy develops advanced tactical power and resilient microgrid solutions for defense, government, and mission-critical operations. We build deployable hybrid energy architectures that integrate generation, energy storage, controls, protection, and distribution into modular systems designed for austere environments, degraded-grid events, expeditionary operations, and other high-consequence missions.
Our work is centered on LOTaPS (Low Observable Tactical Power System) and PRISM (Portable Resilient Integrated Sustainment Microgrid), two complementary architectures designed to deliver adaptable, deployable, and resilient power across mission scales. Together, they extend capability from man-portable edge applications to larger tactical and mission-support use cases. These architectures are engineered to reduce generator hours, shrink fuel demand, and preserve operational endurance—giving commanders reliable power when mobility, survivability, and mission assurance are on the line.
Unlike closed, stovepiped power solutions, our systems are built for integration. We architect to open, modular principles and align to MIL-STD-3071 interoperability objectives so diverse components can function as part of a unified, controllable power system. This gives customers cleaner integration paths, greater upgrade flexibility, reduced vendor lock, and a more durable foundation for future mission growth.
From man-portable configurations to containerized deployable systems, we focus on practical engineering, repeatable modules, clean interfaces, commissioning-ready integration, and sustainment-minded design. The result is power capability designed to be deployed, integrated, sustained, and evolved with purpose.
Man Portable Tactical Power Systems (MPTaPS)
Man-Portable Tactical Power System (MPTaPS)
Organic Power for Small Teams Operating Beyond The Edge
MPTaPS is a low-observable, man-portable power system designed for small teams operating detached from primary elements. It provides clean, conditioned power without requiring continuous generator support, reducing signature, fuel dependence, and operational exposure where it matters most.
Small teams today face a persistent tradeoff: generate power and accept detection risk, or limit capability to remain concealed. Continuous generator use introduces acoustic, thermal, and electromagnetic signature while driving fuel demand and resupply exposure. Battery-box solutions may reduce noise, but they often lack the controls, protection, and interoperability required for mission systems.
MPTaPS removes this constraint by giving teams organic, deployable power they control.
The system is built around a modular hybrid architecture packaged into man-portable units of 160 pounds or less, allowing rapid emplacement, repositioning, and recovery by small elements. It integrates a graphene solid-state energy storage layer with intelligent power management and conditioned AC/DC output. This architecture is designed to support rapid recharge, stable power delivery, repeated cycling, and dependable performance in demanding tactical environments.
MPTaPS operates on a runtime compression model. Energy is rapidly replenished during short, controlled recharge windows through vehicle, generator, or higher-echelon power, then extended silent operation is maintained without continuous generation. This reduces generator runtime and aligns power production with mission timing instead of forcing constant exposure.
The architecture is aligned with the tactical microgrid standard, MIL-STD-3071, enabling interoperability with existing and emerging DoD power systems while
Low Observable Tactical Power System (LOTaPS)
Low-signature Power in a Box.
LOTaPS (Low Observable Tactical Power System) is Beech Creek Power & Energy’s deployable hybrid power architecture designed for expeditionary and high-consequence environments where endurance, signature control, and electrical stability all matter at the same time. LOTaPS integrates generation, non-lithium energy storage, power conversion, and supervisory controls into modular building blocks that package into transportable formats and scale by paralleling modules.
LOTaPS is engineered to minimize generator runtime by using stored energy for peak demand, transient events, and silent/low-signature operating windows—while keeping the generator operating in efficient regions when it does run. The architecture is designed to support a target operating profile of ~8 total generator run-hours within a 24-hour period (mission/load dependent), with supervisory dispatch maintaining reserve posture, ramp-rate limits, minimum generator loading, and recovery behavior after contingencies.
LOTaPS emphasizes signature reduction as a first-class design requirement. For EMI/EMC reduction, the power train is engineered around controlled switching behavior, filtered power conversion, cable/grounding discipline, and enclosure-level shielding practices to reduce conducted and radiated emissions and protect sensitive loads in EMI-constrained environments. For thermal reduction, LOTaPS reduces continuous generator operation and manages heat sources through optimized duty cycling, controlled power electronics losses, airflow/ducting strategy, and enclosure thermal design—supporting a lower thermal profile than generator-dominant architectures while sustaining stable bus operation.
Beech Creek is advancing LOTaPS through patent-pending technology that formalizes key aspects of our hybrid architecture and supervisory control approach. This intellectual property captures the methods used to coordinate generation, non-lithium storage, and power electronics to achieve predictable performance, reduced generator runtime, and resilient operation across transitions and contingencies.
Mission-Resilient Hybrid Power Architecture
Hybrid Power Architecture and Modular Interconnection
Beech Creek Power & Energy engineers hybrid power as a complete electrical architecture—built around a governed AC and/or DC bus with coordinated power conversion, protective relaying, and supervisory control. The system is designed to behave deterministically across step loads, motor starts, fault events, and grid transitions by managing voltage, frequency, phase, power quality, and reserve posture in real time. Hybridization is treated as a controls-and-protection discipline as much as it is an energy discipline, ensuring stable operation across widely variable load profiles without nuisance trips or unstable oscillations.
Our modular “power block” approach packages generation, bidirectional power conversion, energy storage, and control into repeatable building blocks that scale by paralleling—not redesign. We support both AC-coupled and DC-coupled configurations and architect systems for grid-following or grid-forming behavior as required, enabling black-start, islanded operation, synchronization, and controlled retransfer. In AC-coupled designs, the bidirectional power conversion system (PCS) provides fast transient support, frequency/voltage regulation, and energy shifting so the generator can operate in efficient regions rather than chasing every load fluctuation. In DC-coupled designs, sources and storage share a managed DC link to reduce conversion stages, improve transient response, and simplify integration of diverse assets.
We also deliberately avoid lithium-based storage solutions. Our architectures are designed to integrate non-lithium energy storage that better aligns with high-consequence operational environments and risk postures, while still delivering the power density, responsiveness, and dispatch control required for mission use cases.
Interconnection is executed through standardized electrical and control interfaces at defined bus voltages (e.g., 480/277V three-phase or 208/120V), with synchronized paralleling, load-sharing logic, and deterministic communications between module controllers. Power balancing is handled through layered control: fast inner-loop regulation in the PCS, mid-loop behaviors such as droop and virtual inertia where required, and supervisory dispatch that governs ramp-rate limits, minimum generator loading, storage limits, and contingency reserves. Protection is engineered alongside controls with fault studies, breaker coordination, inverter-aware protective functions, and staged under-frequency/under-voltage load shedding aligned to mission priorities—delivering a modular hybrid system that scales cleanly, interconnects predictably, and keeps critical loads online through degraded-grid and sustained islanded conditions.
