Hybrid System To Provide 14-Day Grid Independence
The US Army Corps of Engineers has awarded Dominion Energy subsidiary Dominion Privatization Texas a $61.5-million contract to build a hybrid microgrid at Fort Hood, Texas, designed to keep critical facilities operating for at least 14 days during a grid outage. The Phantom Warrior Microgrid will combine natural gas-fired generation, solar photovoltaic parking canopy, and battery energy storage system. The project is scheduled for completion in early May 2029, as reported by Engineering News-Record.
