Distributed Generation and Microgrids
For over 30 years, Concord Engineering has been designing innovative and resilient Distributed Generation and Microgrids for our clients and markets including:
- Government
- Healthcare
- Higher Education
- Commercial and Industrial
- Mission Critical Department of Defense
Concord’s approach is to be technology and platform agnostic – that is, we design and deliver projects based on their own merit and create and design to best suit the project technical, economic and mission needs.
Microgrids to Achieve Environment Sustainability Governance Goals:
By incorporating renewable energy and decarbonized fuels such as hydrogen and Renewable Natural Gas microgrids can accelerate achievement of ESG goals ahead of waiting on massive structural changes in grid supplied energy. A microgrid providing ESG benefits can be “tailored” to the unique needs and constraints of a host.
Our Approach:
We start with defining the desired functions of the microgrid – often multiple functions bundled into a cohesive system:
- Resiliency
- Economic Benefit
- Sustainability
We then select the technical components making up the physical architecture to achieve the desired function of the system:
- Distributed Energy Resources
- Energy Storage
- Switchgear & Load Centers
- Relays & Meters
- Switches & Reclosers
- Microgrid Controller
Critical to the effort is the economic outcome and designing and delivering a system within the economic constraints of the system. This is where we excel.
Our Capabilities:
Our services and capabilities are as the engineer of record integrating and insuring operation of the microgrid.
As market penetration of Distributed Generation and Microgrids accelerates bringing resiliency and economic benefit to host, the complexity of microgrid designs and capability increases in complexity and scope. Concord Engineering’s Power and Infrastructure Group is an industry leader in designing and integrating solutions to fit the needs of our customers.
With a core team devoted to designing and delivering Distributed Generation and Microgrid projects, Concord Engineering has the resources to design and deliver a resilient microgrids to our clients.
Complementing our engineering team members, we use state of the industry design tools including:
- BIM / Revit for State of Industry Design
- SKM and ETAP Electrical Load Flow and Short Circuit Analysis
- EasyPower and HOMER Grid for Microgrid Modelling
