DCAM-15-NC-0126 - Sole Source for Microgrid Analysis Project


Tuesday, April 14, 2015

The Department of General Services (“DGS” or the “Department”) seeks to engage in a pilot program to test new technology designed to increase energy reliability and security, lower energy costs, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce peak load in municipal buildings (i.e., the St. Elizabeth campus). Microgrids are localized grids that can disconnect from the traditional grid to operate autonomously and help mitigate grid disturbances to strengthen grid resilience. The department will conduct first order engineering and economic analysis of microgrid development for the St. Elizabeth campus in Washington, DC using a tool called Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM).
