Modular Power Generation and Distribution
Solicitation # CEHNC-031467-OT
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Center (CEHNC) is soliciting white papers under Other Transactional Authority 10 USC 4022(f) for the procurement of relocatable Modular Power Generation and Distribution solutions. This initiative supports the Department of War by providing standardized, factory-integrated, turnkey power systems for 10 to 12 sites across the United States. The primary objective is to implement solutions capable of stabilizing large transient loads, with technical requirements specifying voltage regulation within +/-2 percent under full load and the ability to stabilize voltage and frequency within 6 seconds during load-switching events. The total estimated aggregate value of the program is 1.2 billion dollars, with individual prototype awards expected to range between 55 million and 100 million dollars. This is a two-step acquisition process beginning with the submission of white papers by September 25, 2026, which may lead to a Request for Prototype Proposal. The final solutions must be fully implemented by February 28, 2028. Awards will be based on best value and utilize a Firm Fixed Price Milestones agreement structure. To be eligible, projects must include significant participation by a nonprofit research institution or nontraditional defense contractor, and all significant participants other than the government must be small business concerns. Additionally, at least one-third of the total prototype project cost must be funded by non-federal parties. All proposed solutions must comply with the Buy American Act and meet specific MIL-STD controls for SCADA systems.

GLASS is a software platform developed by Idaho National Laboratory that enables electric utilities to dynamically optimize the real-time transmission capacity of overhead power lines without requiring extensive hardware upgrades. By integrating minimal weather and current data with advanced computational fluid dynamics modeling, GLASS calculates accurate thermal states of transmission lines and delivers real-time and forecasted ampacity values, safely exceeding traditional static ratings by up to 40%. The system’s ability to extrapolate conditions across unmonitored line segments reduces reliance on costly sensor networks, offering a cost-effective, software-only solution that integrates seamlessly with existing utility enterprise systems through standardized output formats. Validated against IEEE and CIGRE standards since 2014, GLASS supports steady-state and transient thermal analysis and is uniquely positioned to enhance grid flexibility, reduce congestion, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, particularly wind, by leveraging natural cooling effects on conductors. This licensing opportunity, posted under solicitation number CW-19-22 by the Department of Energy through Battelle Energy Alliance, invites qualified entities to obtain rights to deploy and commercialize the GLASS software. The opportunity is open for responses until July 30, 2026, with primary contact information provided through Javier Martinez at Idaho Falls, Idaho. The solution is designed for broader adoption by utilities, grid operators, and software vendors seeking to incorporate dynamic line rating capabilities into their platforms without infrastructure overhauls. With proven reliability and compatibility with any utility-grade data historian, GLASS represents a scalable, interoperable tool to modernize aging transmission networks, improve operational efficiency, and maximize asset utilization under variable environmental conditions.

GLASS Software for Real-Time Optimization of Power Transmission Capacity


Dynamic line rating software that enables utilities to safely increase transmission capacity without costly hardware expansion.


Technology Summary


The General Line Ampacity State Solver (GLASS), developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is a high-performance software platform designed to calculate the real-time current-carrying capacity of overhead power transmission lines. By integrating weather data, line current data, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, GLASS provides utilities with accurate, actionable insight into the thermal state of their transmission network.


Unlike hardware-heavy solutions requiring dense networks of weather stations or specialized sensors, GLASS leverages a minimal number of data inputs and extrapolates across unmonitored spans using CFD-enhanced mapping. The system outputs results in a simple, interoperable format compatible with virtually any utility enterprise system.


Since 2014, GLASS has evolved to compute steady-state ampacity, transient temperature, transient ampacity, and INL’s proprietary True Dynamic Line Rating, validated against industry standards (IEEE, CIGRE).


Problem Addressed


  • Transmission bottlenecks: Utilities face congestion and efficiency losses due to static line ratings that underestimate real capacity.

  • High costs of monitoring: Installing weather stations or hardware sensors along every line span is prohibitively expensive.

  • Integration challenges: Many dynamic line rating (DLR) solutions require proprietary hardware or external portals, complicating adoption.


Solution


GLASS provides a software-only, plug-and-play solution that:


  • Uses limited real-world weather and current data inputs.

  • Applies precomputed CFD models to extend accuracy across unmonitored spans.

  • Calculates real-time and forecasted ampacity values to maximize grid utilization.

  • Outputs standardized text files easily integrated with existing utility systems.


Key Advantages


  • Higher capacity utilization: Can enable line ratings up to 40% above conservative static limits.

  • Lower infrastructure costs: Reduces need for dense weather station deployment.

  • Seamless integration: Simple, agnostic input/output formats support adoption without system overhauls.

  • Proven reliability: Validated through years of testing and alignment with IEEE and CIGRE standards.

  • Flexible deployment: Works with any utility-grade data historian or enterprise system.


Market Applications


  • Electric utilities: Enhance grid flexibility, reduce congestion losses, and safely integrate renewable energy.

  • Grid operators: Improve real-time situational awareness and operational decision-making.

  • Software vendors: Incorporate GLASS as a dynamic line rating module within existing platforms (e.g., OSIsoft PI).

  • Renewable integration: Support greater use of wind energy by capturing wind cooling effects on lines.
