Distributed Generation & Micro-Grid Design Solutions
Distributed Generation & Micro-Grid Design Solutions
The Microgrid Resources Coalition (MRC) is a consortium of leading owners, operators, developers, suppliers and investors formed to advocate for policies and regulations that support microgrid deployment.
The group believes that microgrids represent the cutting edge of a distributed energy future. By providing power when the grid is down and energy savings when the grid is operating, microgrids meet their hosts’ needs for enhanced reliability, energy savings and reduced emissions.
Concord Engineering Group is an industry leader in designing distributed generation systems and micro-grids that are functional and meet the unique needs of project owners, utilities and sponsoring agencies. We begin by understanding the end goals of an application and inform our designs with our capability to model energy load and use profiles. We seek to provide practical designs and solutions that can be built and provide flexible and resilient operation.
Our experience with energy and “micro-grid or resiliency as a service” business models is unique among engineering and integration consultants and informs our designs and working relationships with clients. If it doesn’t pencil, doesn’t work or can’t be built – there is not a project.
Functional and effective distributed generation / micro-grid projects often require sophisticated load and demand management platforms. Our experience with state of the industry micro-grid controllers and experience with SCADA and controls integration provides our clients with proven and practical solutions that can be constructed and will be functional.
Case Studies




Hackensack University Medical Center - Hackensack, NJ
New Central Utilities Building, Design of New 26kV Substation, Commissioning of New 500,000sF Tower & CUP
Hackensack University Medical Center (Hackensack UMC) is a 900-bed non-profit, research and teaching hospital, located west of New York City, in Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey. HUMC is New Jersey's largest provider of inpatient and outpatient services and is the fourth largest hospital in the nation based on admissions.
In 2017 HUMC embarked on a $700 million+ expansion with a new full critical care tower and central utilities building.
Based on prior performance Concord was selected by HUMC to be the engineer of record for a new free standing Central Utilities Plant (CUP) that will support all electrical and thermal needs for the existing HUMC complex and the new 500,000 sf tower. The CUP will consolidate all services and required 2 “enabling phases” to support the relocation of existing services. Of prime importance was the relocation and expansion of the existing 26 kv substation.

Marina Thermal Facility - Atlantic City, NJ
Central Utility Chilled Water & Steam
The Marina Thermal Facility is a 26,000 square-foot utility plant located in the Renaissance Pointe section of Atlantic City, constructed in 2003 adjacently to the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa. Owned by Marina Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of South Jersey Industries, in addition to being developed and operated by DCO Energy, the facility provides chilled and hot water along with electricity to meet the Borgata’s demand for energy. In the event of an emergency outage, power can be generated by the plant to meet the casino/hotel’s electricity needs.
Concord Engineering provided engineering services for the construction of the original Marina Thermal Facility which has been successfully operating since 2003. The plant was originally designed with 12,000 tons of chilled water cooling capacity, 200 MMBTU’s of high temperature hot water and 8MW of emergency generation.

Montclair State University - Montclair, NJ
Energy Master Planning / CCHP Plant Design
Montclair State University is a public research university that offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs. Located on a 246 acre campus in North Jersey, MSU is the second largest school in New Jersey. The university has consistently ranked among the top 100 public universities in the US.
Concord Engineering performed an energy evaluation of all buildings’ heating, air conditioning and lighting systems on campus. This included detailed energy audits for over 1.4 million sf. The study provided a comprehensive assessment of all deficiencies, upgrade and recommendations. Economic evaluations were analyzed to provide over $20 million dollars in upgrades and $2 million dollars in annual savings. In order to properly manage its growth, improve energy efficiency, and increase reliability; the University decided to replace its aging Solar Centaur based combined heat and power (CHP) plant and steam distribution system.
