Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is seeking proposals for the construction of a microgrid system at the U.S. Army 63rd Readiness Division in Mountain View, California. The project aims to provide energy resilience for 14+ days for mission-critical functions, utilizing renewable and fossil fuel energy sources. The microgrid system will include a 750kW photovoltaic solar system, a 750kWh battery energy storage system, and an 800kW diesel backup generation system. The system will be designed to meet cybersecurity requirements and will be installed on a closed restricted network.
Key features of the project include:
• Installation of a microgrid system with full islanding capability
• Incorporation of a ground-mounted 750kW photovoltaic solar system
• Installation of a 750kWh battery energy storage system
• Provision of an 800kW diesel backup generation system
• Design and installation of a master microgrid controller and automatic smart switches
• Compliance with cybersecurity requirements for facility-related control systems
