- Description
- Project Description: Demonstrate systems integration of distributed energy management hardware, software with elements of a cyber security to achieve an islandable, micro-grid involving a subset of Ft. Carson's overall electrical grid. Provide advanced cyber-secure Smart Grid Energy Management Control System (EMCS) with dynamic demand-side load management, leveraging recent infrastructure upgrades that created five basic micro-grid loops at Fort Carson. Provide interface and controls to integrate existing renewable energy sources (2MW photovoltaic solar array) into a grid-tied backup power configuration using five electric vehicles for electric energy storage. Configure existing dedicated backup generators into a grid-tied distributed backup generation architecture to increase redundancy for mission critical facilities and optimize performance to save fuel. At least 10 Facilities are preliminarily identified to be part of this microgrid. Provide cyber-secure System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and related controls to enable autonomous micro-grid operation in isolation if necessary due to loss of commercial power. Increase backup power reliability and resiliency by expanding backup power from the building level to the installation level, allowing agility in directing power to high priority mission critical facilities and supporting infrastructure in the event of power outages of very long duration. Potential contract value, 5-10 million.
