Scott Base Redevelopment Project - BESS Supply & Install RFT
Tender ID: 480311
Tender Details
Tender Description
Under this Request for Tender (RFT), Antarctica New Zealand is seeking Tenders for the supply, installation and commissioning of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Scott Base in Antarctica across two stages, as part of an overall Scott Base Redevelopment (SBR) being undertaken by Antarctica New Zealand. This RFT relates to the first stage.
The first stage requirement is for a power BESS of 500 kW nominal capacity to replace the existing flywheel-based hybrid system stability element.
At a later second stage, estimated to be in 24/25 Antarctic season, the BESS will be upgraded to around 2 MW/10 MWh. Antarctica New Zealand has a preference for a BESS that can be expanded upon or incorporated into the second stage rather than a full replacement. For the second stage BESS procurement, Antarctica New Zealand may decide to request submissions from a short list of respondents from the this first stage 500 kW BESS submission (but is not required to).
The successful Contractor must be experienced with relevant skills in the following:
1. Providing expandable BESS systems
2. Offer comprehensive Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of the complete BESS
3. Experience of supply & installation of BESS equipment in remote off-grid locations (ideally the same as that proposed to be provided for this RFT)
4. Able to demonstrate through supporting information BESS longevity and reliability in remote locations
5. Is able to offer ongoing support services over the life of the BESS and overall installation.
