- Synopsis Date: 16 APR 2009Contracting Office Address: Specialty Center Acquisitions NAVFAC, Naval BaseVentura County, 1205 Mill Rd, Bldg 850, Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4347Subject: NAVFAC ESC is interested in a software based model that can be used toanalyze 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 NAVFACEngineering Service Center (ESC) under FAR 6.102(d)(2). This announcement isopen until 15 May 2009. NAVFAC ESC is interested in a software based model thatcan be used to analyze the integration of photovoltaic systems, wind energysystems, conventional diesel generation, and energy storage. The model shouldaddress design issues related to the following:.Renewable energy resources have intermittent availability (e.g., windspeed varies, isolation varies, etc.)..Space limitations often restrict energy storage strategies and capacityof RE generation that can be installed..There may be multiple renewable energy systems installed where little orno 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) powerand wind power, diesel generation and maintaining stability during outage.provide analysis of energy storage requirements.provide an analysis needed to integrate multiple planned/unplanned PVand wind power This announcement is for abstracts only and shall be no more than five (5) pagesof technical material. The abstracts shall outline the topics of interest. Theabstract may be supplemented by resumes and list of publications relevant tothis announcement which will not count against the five (5) page limit. Theaward will be for up to $400,000. Multiple awards may be made under thisannouncement. Topics of interest described below are provided as guides toareas that must be included in the abstract for the model. Also, it is expectedthat abstracts will not limit the approach to only these specified in the topiclist. Individual topics of interest are as follows: 1)The model will include solar and wind generation, energy storage, andcontrols that isolate the building in event of a power failure, and integraterenewable power with that from diesel back-up emergency generators. 2)The model will be enhanced by incorporating data from manufacturerperformance data. 3)The model will provide an analysis of interoperability, performancecharacteristics and financial performance of various integrated renewablesystems and back-up diesel generation. Measure system response time, firstcost, output, reliability, maintenance and percent load provided. Test andrecommend strategies to power isolated loads directly from renewable systems,isolate buildings from the grid or control renewable and emergency generatorsvia 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 recommendtechnical guidance for implementation multiple renewable systems through-out aNavy base for maximum benefit. The software model shall be compatible with running on a MS Windows basedcomputer without having to make non-standard operating system modification(s).Past experience with utilities related computer modeling, renewable energysystems, power generation is desired. Evaluation Board (TEB) may request a full scale Proposal of no more than 25pages. NAVFAC ESC may share the abstracts and the proposals with other Dept. ofDefense (DOD) personnel of offices associated with this topic. Information thatis sensitive or proprietary must so be marked page by page in the abstract andor proposal. Multiple awards may be made. The request for a proposal does notobligate the government in awarding a contract. CRITICAL NOTE: A CONTRACTOR ISREQUIRED TO REGISTER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CENTRAL CONTRACTORREGISTRATION (CCR). NO CONTRACT AWARD WlLL BE MADE TO ANY CONTRACTOR THAT IS NOTREGISTERED OR IN THE PROCESS OF REGISTERING WITH THE DOD CCR THE DOD CCR MAY BEREACHED AT (888) 227.2423, OR WEBSITE WWW.CCR.GOV. THERE IS NO COMMITMENT BY THENAVY EITHER TO MAKE ANY CONTRACT AWARDS OR TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MONEYEXPENDED BY THE CONTRACTOR BEFORE A CONTRACT AWARD. ONLY A WARRANTED CONTRACTINGOFFICER 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 anabstract, after the Navy's TEB has reviewed all abstracts submitted by aninternal periodic cut-off date. The internal periodic cut-off date may occurseveral times within the period from the BAA announcement to the closing datefor receipt of abstracts. Abstracts may be submitted at any time, but to ensurereview by the TEB, abstracts should be received by 15 May 2009. Abstractsreceived after this date may or may not be evaluated by the TEB and will bedependent upon the results of the evaluations and budgetary constraints. Fortechnical 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 thisBAA 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
