Microgrid Preliminary Design Specification
The following document provides guidance for developing a microgrid preliminary design specification. Development of a microgrid preliminary design specification takes previous analysis has been done in coordination with key stakeholders to scope out and perform analysis on a microgrid conceptual design to be further developed into a preliminary design. The microgrid preliminary design specification outlines the functional requirements and recommendations for the preliminary design that can be put into request for information (RFI) or request for quote (RFQ) process in order to select a microgrid integrator to oversee the final design and construction process of the microgrid to be implemented. In addition to requirements, the RFI/RFQ needs to specify of the responsibilities of the microgrid integrator as well as the microgrid owner/operator of the completed microgrid as part of the microgrid preliminary design specification as well as procurement process to evaluate the bidders applying to be the microgrid integrators.
