Specifications include, but are not limited to: - Install a microgrid system capable of utilizing renewable and clean energy sources with battery backup to improve efficiency and synchronize grid management systems. This project will enable Camp Dodge to island critical mission facilities within its electrical distribution system. During islanded operation, the microgrid system will support all loads fed by this segment of the microgrid. The microgrid system will incorporate several new technologies: a 2.5 MW ground mounted photovoltaic (PV) solar array with 3MW/3MWH battery storage, and 1MW of modular natural gas microturbine generation. The microgrid will also connect to the existing diesel generators. This microgrid can incorporate future expansions to the microgrid and inclusion of new technologies. It will include a master microgrid controller, synchronization controllers, and automatic switching for control of the generation resources within Camp Dodge. This includes the necessary switchgear, inverters, batteries, distribution lines, transformers, controls and communication, AC/DC wiring with conduit, and security measures.
