| Subcontractor | Department of Defense | TEAM CTC WILL DESIGN, INTEGRATE, DEMONSTRATE, AND TRANSITION A DIRECT CURRENT (DC) MICROGRID PROVIDING A HIGH LEVEL OF RESILIENCY, RELIABILITY AND READINESS AT INTEGRATED KIRTLAND AFB FACILITIES. THIS SOLUTION WILL FOCUS ON VARIABLE HIGH-POWER DC LOADS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE DC MICROGRID STRATEGY, SPECIFICALLY DC HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) EQUIPMENT, WHILE ALSO INCORPORATING LIGHTING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) LOADS. THE UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE ABILITY TO DYNAMICALLY CONTROL THE CAPACITY OF A VARIABLE DC LOAD, SUCH AS HVAC, IS BASED ON THE AVAILABILITY OF DC POWER SOURCES, SUCH AS PV. THIS APPROACH PROVIDES A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO POWER OUTAGES WHEN COMPARED TO TYPICAL AC MICROGRIDS, WHILE REDUCING GRID CONNECTED, UTILITY DEMAND CHARGES. OUR APPROACH DOES NOT RELY ON CONSTANT CYCLING AND SUBSEQUENT DEGRADATION OF LARGE, EXPENSIVE CONTAINED BATTERY SYSTEMS, BUT INSTEAD EMPLOYS A SMALLER INDOOR BATTERY SYSTEM THAT IS A SAFE, LONG-LASTING AND MATURE TECHNOLOGY. OUR PROPOSED DC GENERATOR ENHANCEMENT ALLOWS ISLANDING DURING LONG PERIODS WITHOUT SOLAR IRRADIANCE. IN CONTRAST TO A TRADITIONAL AC MICROGRID APPROACH, THE PROPOSED DC MICROGRID IS ALWAYS OPERATING IN ISLAND MODE, PRIORITIZING THE MOST EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF PV POWER, DRAWING UPON THE UTILITY GRID AS A LOWER-PRIORITY POWER SOURCE. THIS CONFIGURATION ALLOWS SEAMLESS DC SOURCE TRANSFER AND TESTING INCORPORATING THE CONNECTED DC LOADS. CTC SEEKS HVAC DESIGN SERVICES TO SUPPORT CONCEPTUAL DESIGN, DESIGN, AND ACCEPTANCE OF AN INSTALLED HVAC SYSTEM. 221200050S Parent award context Parent award agency: Department of Defense · Department of the Air Force Parent award NAICS: 541715 Parent award performance state: PA Parent award description: KIRTLAND AFB DC MICROGRID View parent award on USAspending | — | $79,567 | Dec 21, 2022 | — – — |
