OSIP001 - Offshore Platform Hybrid Power System

FORCE is seeking proposals to:

• Create a plan to design, procure and install a hybrid wind/solar rechargeable power system to power the OSIP floating sensor platform in the Minas Passage.
• Implement and manage the execution of the plan, in concert with OSIP project team, until the power systems successful commissioning, including SAT, documentation and training.

1. Detailed description of the components to be included in the proposed systems including:
   1. Charging components - Rated output curve: power vs. wind speed and irradiance conditions (include expected generation at 4–10 m/s wind and typical solar conditions for Minas Passage)
   2. Charge control and load management design: description of how system prioritizes sources (wind/solar/battery) and protects against over-charge/discharge
   3. Battery chemistry, quantity, sizing and autonomy calculation; include depth of discharge, cycle life, and environmental derating
   4. Cable schedule including sizing and specification
   5. Battery storage racking components
   6. Inverters – AC/DC pure sine wave and sizing specification, Efficiency summary: overall DC-to-DC and DC-to-AC conversion efficiencies
2. Detailed plan statement for the installation of equipment within a 20” Connex Container on OSIP Platform including:
   1. Method of installation
   2. Installation schedule
   3. Container outfitting/Integration to platform at shipyard
   4. Test functionality and verify the operation of the system
3. Environmental & operational ratings:
   1. Environmental compliance report: IEC/CSA certifications, marine corrosion resistance, salt-fog and UV durability
   2. Operating conditions: temperature range, humidity tolerance, wind survivability (gust ratings), waterproofing (IP65+)
   3. Maintenance interval and service plan: recommended inspection frequency, replacement components, and O&M requirements
4. Engineering requirements to support the proposed plans including:
   1. Structural mounting locations for PV panels and wind turbine poles
5. Procurement plan of the power system and all components on the OSIP platform:
   1. Schedule to procure all power generation components, battery storage, power conversion components, and associated equipment
6. Project team and qualifications:

1. Identification of key personnel assigned to the project, including roles, responsibilities, and project availability
2. Summary of relevant qualifications, certifications, and experience with hybrid wind/solar systems, marine deployments, containerized integrations, and commissioning
3. Description of the contractor’s organizational capacity and any subcontractor relationships (if applicable) to demonstrate the team’s ability to deliver the proposed work effectively and on schedule
4. Identification of the personnel who will lead system training for the FORCE/OSIP project team, including their specific qualifications and experience in commissioning and operator training

• • Reviewing and approving plans
  • Present for installation and SAT
  • Provided with all necessary operating procedures, maintenance schedules, and documentation for the installed system
