Description
***This is a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, not a Tender Notice*** Overview: Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority (the Authority) is seeking to engage with industry providers to explore the feasibility, design and deployment of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with PV (Photovoltaic) integration for the building type of a local fire station, specifically On-Call stations which are similar in gross internal area to a non-commercial domestic property but have critical infrastructure for the running of a fire station. The purpose of the solution is to increase energy resilience, reduce reliance on grid power, and maintain uninterrupted operations during grid power outages. This preliminary market engagement (PME) seeks input on technical, operational, and financial aspects of potential solutions to help inform and develop understanding of the installation of potential systems at our fire stations. Details: Our fire stations serve a emergency response function and must remain operational during grid failures, natural disasters, or other disruptions. The desired system should be capable of the following: • Provide 1-3 days of energy resilience, based on typical energy loads • Include on-site PV generation (new or integrated with existing) • Be compatible with a central control system for intelligent energy management, system diagnostics and remote monitoring • Support automatic switchover during outages Objectives: The Authority are seeking preliminary market engagement with suppliers to: • Understand the range of available technologies and configurations • Review the technical and operational pros and cons of each system • Obtain budgetary estimates to inform future capital investment planning • Assess the integration potential with existing infrastructure and any regulatory or grid requirements, such as Distribution Network Operator (DNO) restrictions. • Understand options for the support and maintenance, of proposed different systems, during and after install and any indicative costs associated [Please note that the Contract Start and End Dates in this PME notice are mandatory fields that the Authority is required to complete. The Authority does not currently have contract start and end dates for this project identified. This is very early stages preliminary market engagement and may not result in a procurement/contract process.]
