Description

The 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. The NE DER-IC will concentrate on the prototyping and scale-up of power electronics and electric motors. A new, separate IUK grant is funding the purchase of the system detailed in this tender document

This document is focussed on the power electronics aspect and the purchase of relevant equipment for mechanical testing of power electronic technologies.
The scope is for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the equipment as detailed in Section 3, with after sales support, a minimum 36 months parts and labour warranty and maintenance. This should include on completion of installation a complete set of operating and maintenance documents.
