As the home of Mission Control, International Space Station operations, the Orion Program, and various other exploration missions, JSC is one of NASA’s largest sites. Grid outages, whether through capacity constraint, weather related crises, or otherwise, accentuated the need for increased resiliency in support of the critical missions taking place. JSC needed to align with agency goals, ensure power supply, and desired microgrid islanding capability. Competitively selected, ESG developed the first CHP project, and most significant ESPC, in NASA history, enhancing energy and mission surety in a capacity constrained region. The microgrid project will offset purchased electricity and steam with on-site cogeneration of 11.9 MW of electricity and 100,000 lb/hr steam. Electrical power generation of the combustion turbines will be supplemented by a back pressure steam turbine generator. Power output from the CHP plant will be via interconnect at two substations, both primary components of the distribution system. The interconnects will ensure power to critical loads such as Mission Control. The project alone achieves Site Energy Intensity Reduction goals through 2020, and has a visible impact on agency-wide goals.

In order to assist MCLB Albany in exceeding the renewable energy mandates outlined in Executive Order 13423 and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), ESG developed, designed, and constructed the Navy’s first landfill gas-to-energy (LFGE) project. Winner of the 2013 Energy Star CHP Award, this project was the result of a cooperative effort between MCLB, ESG, and Dougherty County, GA. The plant produces 1.9 MW of renewable electric power and up to 13.3 MMBtu/h of steam, helping deliver 19% of the Base’s annual energy as renewable. This project also reduced the Base’s energy intensity by 16% from its 2003 baseline, which greatly assists in meeting EPAct goals. The project also included installation and operation of a LFG compression-and-dehydration station, and LFG and condensate pipelines. During a tornado event in early 2017, the project delivered on the capability promise of operating in a parallel or island microgrid mode. Supporting an average load of 500kw for two days until local utility grid power was restored, the LFGE plant was able to provide electricity and heat to keep operations at the maintenance center running in spite of the utility outage and heavily damaged above ground infrastructure on base.
