- Synopsis Date: 16 APR 2009Contracting Office Address: Specialty Center Acquisitions NAVFAC, Naval Base Ventura County, 1205 Mill Rd, Bldg 850, Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4347Subject: NAVFAC ESC is interested in a software based model that can be used to analyze the integration of photovoltaic systems, wind energy systems, conventional diesel generation, and energy storage. Contact Point(s): Eugene Crank, Technical Reviewer, 805-982-5589 Response Due Date: 15 MAY 2009 Description:This announcement constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the NAVFAC Engineering Service Center (ESC) under FAR 6.102(d)(2). This announcement is open until 15 May 2009. NAVFAC ESC is interested in a software based model that can be used to analyze the integration of photovoltaic systems, wind energy systems, conventional diesel generation, and energy storage. The model should address design issues related to the following:.Renewable energy resources have intermittent availability (e.g., wind speed varies, isolation varies, etc.)..Space limitations often restrict energy storage strategies and capacity of RE generation that can be installed..There may be multiple renewable energy systems installed where little or no configuration was made to accommodate future integration and control..Maintaining micro-grid/building-level circuit stability during outage The purpose of the model includes the following:.to provide analysis needed to optimize use of photovoltaic (PV) power and wind power, diesel generation and maintaining stability during outage.provide analysis of energy storage requirements.provide an analysis needed to integrate multiple planned/unplanned PV and wind power This announcement is for abstracts only and shall be no more than five (5) pages of technical material. The abstracts shall outline the topics of interest. The abstract may be supplemented by resumes and list of publications relevant to this announcement which will not count against the five (5) page limit. The award will be for up to $400,000. Multiple awards may be made under this announcement. Topics of interest described below are provided as guides to areas that must be included in the abstract for the model. Also, it is expected that abstracts will not limit the approach to only these specified in the topic list. Individual topics of interest are as follows: 1)The model will include solar and wind generation, energy storage, and controls that isolate the building in event of a power failure, and integrate renewable power with that from diesel back-up emergency generators. 2)The model will be enhanced by incorporating data from manufacturer performance data. 3)The model will provide an analysis of interoperability, performance characteristics and financial performance of various integrated renewable systems and back-up diesel generation. Measure system response time, first cost, output, reliability, maintenance and percent load provided. Test and recommend strategies to power isolated loads directly from renewable systems, isolate buildings from the grid or control renewable and emergency generators via control systems (e.g., Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems).4)The model will predict interoperability of distributed, multiple, installation level renewables systems. The results will be used to recommend technical guidance for implementation multiple renewable systems through-out a Navy base for maximum benefit. The software model shall be compatible with running on a MS Windows based computer without having to make non-standard operating system modification(s). Past experience with utilities related computer modeling, renewable energy systems, power generation is desired. Evaluation Board (TEB) may request a full scale Proposal of no more than 25 pages. NAVFAC ESC may share the abstracts and the proposals with other Dept. of Defense (DOD) personnel of offices associated with this topic. Information that is sensitive or proprietary must so be marked page by page in the abstract and or proposal. Multiple awards may be made. The request for a proposal does not obligate the government in awarding a contract. CRITICAL NOTE: A CONTRACTOR IS REQUIRED TO REGISTER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (CCR). NO CONTRACT AWARD WlLL BE MADE TO ANY CONTRACTOR THAT IS NOT REGISTERED OR IN THE PROCESS OF REGISTERING WITH THE DOD CCR THE DOD CCR MAY BE REACHED AT (888) 227.2423, OR WEBSITE WWW.CCR.GOV. THERE IS NO COMMITMENT BY THE NAVY EITHER TO MAKE ANY CONTRACT AWARDS OR TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MONEY EXPENDED BY THE CONTRACTOR BEFORE A CONTRACT AWARD. ONLY A WARRANTED CONTRACTING OFFICER CAN OBLIGATE THE GOVERNMENT. Any informa! tion that may be sensitive to review by such personnel should not be submitted. Eligibility notification will be sent to all contractors, who have submitted an abstract, after the Navy's TEB has reviewed all abstracts submitted by an internal periodic cut-off date. The internal periodic cut-off date may occur several times within the period from the BAA announcement to the closing date for receipt of abstracts. Abstracts may be submitted at any time, but to ensure review by the TEB, abstracts should be received by 15 May 2009. Abstracts received after this date may or may not be evaluated by the TEB and will be dependent upon the results of the evaluations and budgetary constraints. For technical questions regarding this BAA, contact Gene Crank by telephone at (805) 982-5589 or via e-mail at eugene.crank@navy.mil. Abstract submittals to this BAA should be submitted on a single CD-ROM, in MS Word.doc format, or Adobe.pdf format along with 3 printed hard copies. Packages shall be mailed via USPS, UPS, or FedEx to: Eugene Crank, NAVFAC ESC PW222, 1100 23RD AVENUE, PORT HUENEME, CA 93043
