- Description
- This synopsis is being posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website located at http://www.fbo.gov, FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet. Please feel free to use the FBO site to access information posted by NSWC Crane. The United States Government (USG) is issuing this sources-sought announcement as part of a market survey. The Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) is facilitating this work effort, which is seeking information on existing Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) or Government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) autonomous Battery Management System (BMS) system that is cell chemistry agnostic. A complete BMS system consists of electronics and computer algorithms that continuously calculate, monitor, assess, and control an entire battery system. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following Key System Attributes (KSAs): Key System Attributes: Battery Management System (BMS) - Manages rechargeable cells (individual cells, virtual cell, battery module, or battery packs) from user defined input of the battery's electrical configuration to protect it against overcharge, over-discharge, or abnormal conditions leading to failure or performance degradation - Autonomously capable of monitoring and displaying accurate, up-to-date battery system performance metrics - Indicate accurate state-of-charge (SOC) - Display available system capacity remaining (measured in Ampere-hours) - Display total system voltage and voltage of individual cells (virtual cells) - Measure current - Calculate total number of charge-discharge cycles - Identify ground faults (unintentional conductive pathways) - Measure and report temperature data - Detect and display to operator battery system exposure to moisture - Detect and display to operator battery system pressure faults - Record and report battery system information at operator's request - Include both visual and audio alarms for battery faults - Capable of communicating data through nationally recognized communication protocol - Autonomously monitor and control both charge and discharge processes - Offer reliable cell balancing that will prevent overcharge of cells or modules - Offer battery system protection by preventing it from operating outside its user-defined safe limits - Include real-time Build-In-Tests (BIT) and fault detection capable of running diagnostics to determine if the battery system is in a degraded state. Continuous BIT will flag operator with alerts when safety critical functionality is degraded or compromised. - BITs capable of verifying and reporting nominal BMS operation - Offer historical battery and cell performance trending analysis - Scalable BMS for battery systems ranging from 1KWh to 1 MWh with operational voltages from 100 Vdc to 500 Vdc - BMS software complies with military and industry accepted standards Interested parties are strongly encouraged to submit an initial synopsis (commonly referred to as "white paper"). This white paper should not exceed 10 pages (exclusion of supporting information such as commercial literature, catalogues, manuals, etc.), with an executive summary (short paragraph) on the effort, a technical description, volume and weight of hardware, identification of risks, current Technology Readiness Level (TRL), operational availability data, Reliability-Availability-Maintainability (RAM) data, and an estimation of cost including Life Cycle Costs (10 year estimates for annual preventative maintenance, repair, and component replacement parts cost). Interested sources should submit the white paper electronically or in hard copy to the Points of Contact (POCs) listed below. This announcement does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the Government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses to this notice cannot be accepted as offers. The U. S. Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. Nothing in this announcement constitutes an obligation on the part of the U.S. Government. Any information provided that is marked as proprietary information will be safeguarded to prevent disclosures to non-government personnel and entities. Information provided will not be returned to contractors. The Government may elect to visit, or host a visit, from any potential sources following the market survey. Your interest in this program is appreciated. All interested parties should provide the requested information regarding this announcement no later than 1400 EDST on or before 14 MAR 2014, at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. White papers may be submitted any time prior to expiration of this announcement. Submittals after this date will still be accepted, although there is no guarantee they will be evaluated. The following e-mail point of contact is provided for information regarding technical programs/technologies of interest with the warfare areas supported by the NSWC Crane Energy, Power & Interconnect Technologies Division and for submission of white papers: Mr. Louis Stephon, louis.stephon@navy.mil and NSWC Crane Contracting Office point of contact is Mr. Rick Colvin, richard.colvin@navy.mil. Please refer to the announcement number in all correspondence and communications.
