Notice Title

Hydrogen supply and storage system for the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems.

Notice Description

The University of Strathclyde seeks notes of interest from suppliers able to provide a turnkey hydrogen storage and supply solution that will be used to deliver hydrogen to support the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems. This potential tender forms part of a larger expansion programme, enhancing the multi-vector energy systems capability within the Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC), one of the University of Strathclyde's off-campus Research & Development facilities.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University is seeking notes of interest for a potential tender opportunity for a hydrogen supply and storage system in line with the criteria below. The tender's scope of works includes the supply, delivery, commissioning, ongoing support (UK based) and warranty of the following equipment. 1. The supply of a hydrogen storage and supply system capable of delivering hydrogen to support the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems, in particular fuel cells. 2. The succesful succesful supplier will be expected to deliver all necessary equipment to the University on a turnkey basis, including any control equipment, connections, gas detection and shutoff systems, and data acquisition systems recording hydrogen flow and pressure accurately in real-time. 3. The system will be designed, installed and operating in line with the guidance of Code of Practice CP33 (The Bulk Storage of Gaseous Hydrogen at Users Premises) published by the British Compressed Gas Association. 4. The system shall be designed for an ambient temperature range of -25oC in winter and +40oC in summer. 5. The system shall be designed to accommodate Grade D hydrogen gas in line with ISO 14687:2019 (Hydrogen fuel quality -- Product specification). Hydrogen replenishment shall be achieved either by replacement of storage vessels or by refilling. In either case it will be possible to do this on site by an approved supplier. 6. The system shall include a programmable pressure and flowrate regulation system feeding the supply to the PNDC site. 7. The system will be mountable on a flat concrete plinth and shall be designed to be as compact as possible, ideally with a footprint of no greater than 12m2. 8. The system shall be capable of providing a minimum of 150kg of hydrogen storage capacity to the test site, at a maximum flow rate of 20 kg/hr, and at a pressure (into the equipment under test) of up to 20 bar. It is envisaged that the maximum continuous test duration is not likely to exceed 4 hours. 9. The system shall be designed so that it can be extendable in the future. Additional information: To be involved in pre-tender engagement, interested suppliers are asked to register their interest against this notice within 5 working days of its publication.
