Construction Services of a Power Generation Microgrid at Cape Cod Space Force Station in Bourne, MA

Description

Cape Cod Space Force Station (CCSFS) is an active-duty military installation containing ground-based radar systems critical to National Security. The Power Generation Microgrid project will be constructed within the grounds of CCSFS in facilities which are in restricted areas requiring enhanced security protocols. The impacted facilities are to remain occupied throughout construction with minimal disruption to the mission requiring precise construction phasing of all project elements. The Power Generation Microgrid project is programmed within the Department of the Air Force Energy Resiliency, Conservation, and Investment Program and all work is in alignment with the resiliency goals of the program such as integrating a battery energy storage system with an existing wind turbine and meeting the Uptime Institutes Tier IV redundancy criteria for all mission critical systems. Additionally, the project will upgrade the facilities protective barrier against High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse events. Other major features of the project include the complete replacement of all facility systems located in the onsite power generation plant, providing new back-up power assets with enhanced microgrid controls, and installing electrical duct banks throughout the site. The final microgrid configuration will incorporate all new equipment such as diesel-powered generators, uninterrupted power supplies, critical and non-critical power distribution resources into a cohesive control scheme for prolonged mission reliability. All work must be executed to minimize disruptions to mission critical operations and impacted protective HEMP barriers.
