PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes the installation of new electrical infrastructure for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) located at the South Table Mountain (STM) campus in Golden, Colorado. ESIF was designed to conduct large, megawatt-scale research and development on testing, controlling, and integrating renewable energy technologies into the nation’s electrical distribution grid. The electrical expansion program consists of two components:
1) Expansion of an electrical power feed to ESIF; and,
2) Expansion of the research electrical systems inside of ESIF.
