The National Park Service, Joshua Tree National Park, has identified a need to replace the 20 kW PV System Inverter at Cottonwood. Statement of Work Background:The PV hybrid power system at Joshua Tree National Park consists of a 20kW (nominal) PV array, 20 kW three phase inverter, 35 kW propane-fueled generator and 2,500 Ah battery. Requirement:Demo and replace the Cottonwood PV System Trace Hybrid 20 - 3 phase off grid inverter with a compatible single or multiple inverters in series. Retrofit or replace existing conduits and wiring to accommodate new inverter or inverters. The new inverter or inverters must be compatible with an existing Generac 35 kW 3 phase generator that is the back up power and also is used to charge and equalize the battery bank. Existing Equipment:1. PV Array: The array is comprised of 266 frameless Siemens SP75 modules mounted to galvanized steel supports with industrial adhesive. The array field rating taken in July 1999 (normalized to Standard Test Conditions: 1000 W/m2 irradiance, 250 C module temperature) was 17,794 kW dc. The array is wired for nominal 238 Vdc operation. 2. Battery Bank: The battery bank contains 132 C&D CPV2500 batteries for renewable Energy storage. Individual battery = 2 VDC, 2000 amp hour to 1.7 VPC @ 6 hour rate. The batteries are flooded, lead-acid cells, all in series. Nominal battery voltage and capacity are: 264 Vdc, 2496 Ah at the 100 hour rate. There are 11 plastic non-conductive trays, each containing 12 cells. Battery charging is temperature compensated utilizing an Type-T thermocouple affixed to the bus bar of the first battery (Tray 1). 3. Generator: The generator is a propane fueled Generac model 98A 04635S 43.7 kVA/35 kW three phase unit. 4. Inverter: The inverter is a Trace Technologies HY-20-1, 20 Kw 3 phase, 60 Hz unit. The inverter acts as system controller conducting battery charging and equalizing, inverting, array peak power tracking, and generator start, as required. The 3 phase inverter ac output of 208 delta runs through a delta-wye transformer and is distributed throughout the site as 120/208 wye service. Award will be made based on best value to the government. The Government will award the contract to the responsible Offeror whose quote will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Technical is equal to price. Technical: 1) Demonstrated experience working on similar size and complex PV systems 2) Experience working with government agencies 3) Experience working in remote areas QUOTES: Provide a proposal which gives clear evidence that you meet the requirements of the above three factors with acceptable performance levels. Also provide complete information as to the type of inverter you propose to use. Your price should be broken down as follows: 1) Inverters Number of inverters_____________ Unit Price __________ Total $ ____________________ 2) Additional items, including controllers, wiring, overhead, profit, etc. 1 Lump Sum $ ____________________ Quotes are due March 24, 2009, by 2 PM (PDT). Quotes and additional proposal information may be faxed to Jill Clayton at 702-293-8626 or e:mailed to Jill_Clayton@nps.gov.
