Design and supply of a power take off converter and control system for a 60 kw hydro-kinetic turbine

Design Pro Ltd.

DesignPro is developing a hydro-kinetic turbine to generate electrical power from water flows. The turbine design deploys 2 hydrokinetic turbines connected to in-line gearboxes that drive standard 3 phase induction motors. Given the fluctuating power to be derived from variable water flows, the rotational speed of the turbines must be controlled to standardise the power output, which will need to be adapted to a standard acceptable for grid connection. Accordingly, the Company requires the design, supply and testing of an โ€œAC to ACโ€ power conversion unit together with a control system that is capable of managing the adaptation of the power output to grid acceptable standards.

Deadline

The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2018-08-24. The procurement was published on 2018-08-15.
