Description

Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) is an Innovate UK (IUK) Challenge program to support UK industry to seize the economic opportunities from the global transition to clean technologies and electrification. The programme will help businesses across numerous sectors including transport, energy, construction and agriculture to invest and work together to capitalise on the UK's strengths in this technology.
The DER program vision is "To make the UK globally recognised as the centre of excellence in PEMD manufacturing processes".
As part of that program, Newcastle University was awarded a large grant to establish a new DER Innovation Centre (DER-IC) in the North East of England. DER-IC NE will concentrate on the prototyping and scale-up manufacture of power electronic packages, electric drives, and electrical machines. A new, separate IUK grant is funding the purchase of the system detailed in this tender document.
This Invitation To Tender (ITT) is for the supply of a modular programmable bidirectional DC power supply suited for testing and verification of Power Electronics, Machines and Drives components and systems deployed in, for example, transport, renewable energy, and aerospace applications. The system should have power sourcing and sinking capability in the region of 300kW.

Please note that Newcastle University is not a 'contracting authority' for the purposes of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 and will not be observing a standstill.
