- Description
- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intends to issue a competitive solicitation, No. DE-RP26-04NT42193, entitled ?Rapidly Deployable Emergency Spare Transformers.? The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 335311 with a size standard of 750 employees. The solicitation will be available for downloading on the DOE Interactive Industry Procurement System (IIPS) located at: http://e-center.doe.gov on or about September 1, 2004. If you need technical assistance in registering with IIPS, downloading the solicitation, or for any other IIPS function, call the IIPS Help Desk at (800) 683-0751 or email the Help Desk at IIPS-HelpDesk@e-center.doe.gov. The goal of this project is to procure, store, and make preparations for the deployment of EHV transformers, of two different voltage ratings, whose design is appropriate to replace damaged EHV transformers at substations on the electrical grid if the need should arise. This project seeks to procure three single-phase autotransformers with a nominal 500/230 kV rating and six single-phase autotransformers with a nominal rating of 345/138 kV. The power rating of each single-phase transformer will be 200 MVA and will be used to form three phase transformer banks rated at 600 MVA. The salient characteristic of the Rapidly Deployable Emergency Spare Transformer concept is to provide a transformer that can be stored on a long-term basis at selected storage sites with a minimal amount of equipment monitoring and maintenance to be kept ?ready ?to ?use? so that they can be deployed from the storage site to a utility substation via 60 ton low-boy trailers on the nation?s highway system, and that can be deployed rapidly; i.e., approximately 96 hours (this assumes no more than a 300 mile transport from the storage site to the utility substation) from the time of decision to deploy until the transformer is connected to the grid at the utility substation and is energized. The transformer design must also be compatible with the existing infrastructure of the nation?s electrical substations in terms of its flexibility to be physically installed in a wide range of substation layouts and within various available substation ?footprints?. Once in service, they should also be readily operable and maintainable by personnel responsible for the substation without substantial additional training. The Scope of Work includes three major tasks: first to define the specific transformer performance characteristics necessary to be compatible replacement units for a high percentage of the transformers at that voltage rating at designated regional substations of interest; second, the design and manufacture of the transformers; and third to define and develop portions of the logistical support mechanisms necessary for the long term storage and the rapid deployment of the transformers. Rapid deployment of the transformers includes transport from its storage location to the utility substation, installation, testing and operation. To achieve the rapid deployment mission it is anticipated that the transformer design characteristics, including those that affect the long term storage and a minimum of field assembly of these transformers, may need to differ significantly from, and possibly require a unique design, compared to manufacturer?s existing transformer designs. However, the transformer design should be based on proven design methodologies, technologies and materials and should not be experimental in nature. A high reliability for these transformers is an important requirement. Questions/comments relating to this solicitation shall be submitted electronically through the ?Submit Question? feature of the IIPS at http://e-center.doe.gov. All responses to solicitation questions will be released on the IIPS Internet page. The solicitation will only be made available in IIPS; no hard (paper) copies of the solicitation and related documents will be available. Telephone request, written request, or facsimile request for a copy of the solicitation package will not be accepted and/or honored.
