Motor drives that may be explored include cyclo-converter (with variations in control and power device types), pulse width modulated converter/inverter (with many variations in topology), switching (hard switched, soft switched), and matrix converter (with variations in control, topology, cooling, power device type).
The study shall provide details and recommendations to allow the department to decide on the feasibility and technical/cost requirements of installing commercial power or alternative energy systems in lieu of running prime power generators 24/7/365. For alternative energy solutions (if commercial power connection to grid is not feasible), all alternative technology options are on the table.
A submarine power cable to supply needed power has been deemed not cost effective due to the distance of Middleton Island from mainland Alaska. The study will provide details and recommendations to allow the department to decide on the feasibility and technical/cost requirements of constructing these alternative energy systems.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking Design-Build Services for PV Array System. (Amended)NREL’s Flatirons Campus is home to research assets in support of the Department of Energy (DOE)/ NREL’s Advanced Research in Integrated Energy Systems (ARIES).
It is the intent of NREL to award one (1) Purchase Order under this solicitation. NREL seeks to replace or expand electrolysis power supply with the latest power electronics interface technology, which is liquid-cooled and has increased current and voltage capacity for different electrolysis stack topologies. The procured power supply will be installed to support operation of electrolyzers for research use.
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a five (5) year (no options) $31,449,692 cost only contract for research and development activities associated with model based systems engineering, simulation and testing of Navy advanced shipboard electrical power and energy systems and components to the Florida State University Center for Advanced Power Systems (FSU-CAPS), Tallahassee, Florida.
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a $49,702,869 cost plus fixed fee contract for research and development activities associated with advancement and improvement in current and future shipboard electric power and energy systems to RCT Systems, Baltimore, Maryland. This contract award resulted from a competitive White Paper selection under a Broad Agency Announcement N00024-19-R-4145.
