Name of the Project
Marine Corps Air Station energy security microgrid.

Location
The project is located at MCAS Miramar, in San Diego, California, in the US.

Client

Project Description
The project entails the build-out of a new diesel and natural gas power plant, and the refurbishment of an existing building into an advanced energy and water operations centre (EWOC).

The EWOC will provide microgrid and plant operators, and base energy personnel with direct control of the integrated microgrid control system.

The microgrid will also integrate existing power generated from renewable-energy sources, including biogas, from a local landfill and solar photovoltaic generation, and future energy storage.
