- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is conducting a market survey from all potential sources who may be interested in the development and manufacture of electric power generators in the 30 to 1,000 kilowatt (kW) power range for use on Naval Vessels. The resulting generators will need to be capable of being in production by 2011. This survey in no way binds the Government to offer contracts to responding companies. This effort has potential for an estimated procurement of 175 generators over ten to twenty years. The information provided will assist NSWCCD in understanding current generator technologies. Defense and commercial contractors, including small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, HUBZone small businesses, and woman-owned small businesses are encouraged to participate. However, respondents must be able to demonstrate that they currently produce electric power generators in the power ranges specified for commercial or other military applications. DescriptionThis section provides a set of performance characteristics that meet the needs of a potential demonstration system, although consideration will be given to minor deviations from these requirements. 1. Application Optionsa. Gas Turbine driven generatorsb. Reduction gear driven generators (not coupled to gas turbine)c. Integrated starter/generators for gas turbines2. Technology Optionsa. Traditional wound rotorb. Permanent Magnet3. Electrical Characteristics:a. Power Range options: 30kW to 1000kWb. Output Voltage options:i. 440V AC 60Hz, 3 Phaseii. 440V AC 400Hz, 3 Phaseiii. 200-600V DC (with any necessary additional power conversion)iv. 120VAC 60Hz, 3Phasev. 120VAC 400Hz, 3Phasec. For Integrated Starter/Generator optionsi. Maximum starting torque 150-200 ft-lbii. Speed Range 0-20,000 RPM iii. >90% efficiency for entire subsystem (generator and associated power conversion)d. For Reduction Gear driven generatorsi. Speed Range 0-20,000RPM4. Meet the following standard operating conditions and specifications:a. -30 to 120 deg Fb. 0-100% HumidityEnsure proper operation (ability to perform all normal operations at maximum continuous performance ratings in accordance with the performance and safety requirements for each component/system without loss of lubrication and with no loss of liquids) under the following inclination conditions (conditions not considered additive)c. List: 15 degrees (static condition)d. Roll: 45 degrees and 30 degrees (dynamic condition)e. Trim (Normal): 5 degrees (static condition)f. Pitch: 15 degrees (dynamic condition)ResponsesResponses to this market survey should include supporting materials that discuss your companys competence, experience, and overall understanding of the requirements that NAVSEA has identified. The following information is requested (please indicate if the information is an estimate or actual)1. Description of the generator technology, including an indication of the degree to which it is marinized and/or militarized.2. What is the development status of the generator and associated components and what are the steps necessary to bring them to a fully marinized and militarized standard, including vibration qualification (per MIL-STD-167-1A - Type I).3. The following functional relationships for the available power ranges of generators your company offers (any/all of the three options)::a. Estimated Cost per KW ($/KW).b. Estimated Weight per KW (kg/KW)c. Estimated Volume per KW (KW/m3)d. Estimated Cooling per KW4. What is the development timeline that can support the need date, including estimated time to modify or develop the generator?5. What are the non-recurring engineering costs and unit production cost estimates, identified individually for the generator and the associated components? Identify sensitivity of production cost to volume of sales (quantity discounts).6. What order quantity would offset the need for customer funding of the non-recurring engineering costs, including any breakpoints for levels of reduced non-recurring engineering cost.7. Estimated weight, volume and envelope dimensions for existing point designs in the operating range provided in the Description section. 8. Indicate cooling requirements for generator and associated components, including recommended type of cooling system forced air, sea water, chilled water, exchanger specifications.9. Provide the additional electrical characteristics of the device(s) a. KVAb. Power Factorc. Overload rating (KVA and Amps)d. Transient Reactancee. Subtransient Reactance10. For integrated starter/generators:a. What are the heat dissipation characteristics for the embedded power electronics for the starter/generator configuration?b. What are the additional auxiliary requirements for the starter/generator configuration?c. What are the existing output power limitations for the generator in the starter/generator configuration?d. Is there a specific engine/starter-generator pairing? e. What investment is necessary to transition the starter or starter/generator design to a generic engine?11. For reduction gear driven generators:a. What necessary auxiliary components are needed for the generator?b. What is the speed range to support the provided voltage?c. What are the cooling requirements for any necessary power conversion equipment?12. Mathematical model (i.e. Matlab/Simulink or other) of generator and associated components for use in trade-off analysis.13. Are any of the technical constraints driving the ability to provide the generation unit or add risk in technical or schedule performance (what are the design drivers)?14. Installation Design Manual15. Describe generation system control requirements and associated system. What type of communication protocol is/will be used? What data is/will be collected? What diagnostic and/or prognostic capabilities does the system have? NSWCCD requests your responses by 05/30/2008. Information should be e-mailed to Chris Dafis at chris.dafis@navy.mil or mailed to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Attn: Chris Dafis, 5001 S. Broad Street, Building 77L-Code 986, Philadelphia, PA 19112 and labeled with the solicitation number and title. Questions can be submitted electronically to chris.dafis@navy.mil. Information provided shall be treated as Business Sensitive and will not be shared outside of Government activities and agencies without the permission of the provider. All information shall be provided free of charge to the Government. NSWCCD may request further information regarding the capabilities of respondents to meet the requirements and may request a presentation and/or a site visit as deemed necessary. At no cost to the government, the government may request further clarification of a contractors submission.
