Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford is currently conducting a procurement process for the supply of solar load simulators, which are essential for the Energy House 2 project, a state-of-the-art building physics test laboratory located in Salford, England. The procurement, classified under the CPV codes for solar energy and simulators, is in the open tender stage, with the tender period concluding on 11 October 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1 November 2021 and to last until 31 October 2022. The estimated value of the contract ranges from £10,000 to £12,000.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses focused on innovative energy solutions and simulation technologies. Companies with expertise in solar energy equipment, particularly those that can provide high-quality simulators for photovoltaic systems, would be well-positioned to compete in this procurement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, indicating a welcoming approach to diverse suppliers that could facilitate business growth in the booming renewable energy sector.

Solar load simulators

Notice Description

Energy House 2 (EH2) is a large-scale building physics test laboratory to be built at the University of Salford, Manchester. The project Is part funded by the ERDF. The construction will begin in summer 2020 with the construction period set to last 12 months. The project builds on the successful Energy House project :(https://www.salford.ac.uk/built-environment/laboratories-and-studios/energyhouse ). A video of the project can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP3bsXeQKYU EH2 will be a unique facility and one of most advanced building test facilities on the planet. It has the following features: * 2 large chambers capable of having 2 family homes built in each one (4 homes in total) * Temperature controlled to within 0.5 degC from -20degC to +40 degC * Wind, rain, solar radiation and snow can be generated * These conditions provide testing facilities for housing covering 95% of the global population. The Energy House 2 Project has a requirement to replicate Solar PV DC input into invertors that are inside the test houses. These should be able to simulate the peak load from a 3.89 kWp System. We are not looking to replicate solar lights to test panels, just to generate the DC input to the invertor. We require 2 units.
