6 FAQs about [Microgrid System Procurement]
Can microgrids be financed?
Microgrids can be financed if the components (and potentially the entire system) can be justified economically and paid for out of energy savings or avoided costs.
Is design-bid-build procurement a good fit for microgrids?
The design-bid-build procurement process common in construction projects may not be a good fit for implementing microgrids. Microgrid projects could benefit from changes to the standard RFP template and from common DoD design-bid-build project specifications.
What is microgrid management system?
microgrid management system is an integrated real-time power distribution management system unifying SCADA functions, energy resource controls, and load management, with a common user interface.
What is a microgrid project?
The primary goal for microgrid projects is to increase the energy resilience and enhance the ability to serve an installation’s electrical loads during a contingency situation.
What is a microgrid solicitation?
The microgrid solicitation was a design-build project and was awarded to a joint venture of Schneider Electric and Black and Veatch in 2016. Engineering design for the project was completed in 2017, and construction started in 2018. Construction completion and project commissioning are both expected in 2019.
How can agencies use appropriations to buy microgrids?
Utility services contracts. Other mechanisms such as a power purchase agreement (PPA), enhanced use lease (EUL), and utility privatization may be useful to agencies that have the authority to use them. Agencies can also use appropriations to purchase microgrids, potentially in conjunction with a privately financed procurement mechanism.
