## Summary

The University of Sheffield is seeking suppliers for its project titled "2241/JN - Smart Energy Management System," designed to support the establishment of a Translational Energy Research Centre focused on low carbon energy solutions. This procurement, classified under flow-measuring equipment, falls within the open procurement method and is currently in the award stage. The tender period ended on 21st June 2019, and the contract period commenced on 11th July 2019, lasting until 12th July 2019. The project budget is set at £220,000, and deliveries are to be made to locations within the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies involved in the energy sector, particularly those specialising in renewable energy technologies, energy management systems, and related equipment. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as this contract aligns with their capabilities in providing innovative solutions for dynamic energy management and CCUS technologies. By engaging in this tender, businesses can align their offerings with a prestigious project funded in part by the European Regional Development Fund, potentially gaining valuable exposure and experience in advanced energy research and development.

## Notice

With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) to provide a multi-technology, integrated RD&D platform, focusing on low carbon energy generation, hydrogen generation and utilisation through fuel cells and chemical conversion, and CCUS (Carbon Dioxide Capture Utilisation/Storage) technologies, integrated together with a smart energy management system and battery storage. The Centre will promote and support research, innovation and the demonstration of individual and integrated technologies with the purpose of encouraging and accelerating technology development, validation and demonstration and ultimately technology commercialisation and uptake. Part of the Centre's remit is also to explore how different technologies can be combined into integrated systems in the most effective and complementary manner. To establish the Centre, the University of Sheffield is looking to procure a wide range of equipment focusing on renewable energy, CCUS technologies and smart energy grid. This tender document is specifically focused on the procurement of a system for Smart Energy Management System (SEM) for research into dynamic grid behaviour and simulation, and to assesses and optimise the operation of individual systems in a multi-element mini-grid, including the performance of CCUS elements. The SEM will be developed in two phases. In the first phase (this tender) the system will focus on monitoring and trending (and simulating) energy flows in real time, including power and heat from generating devices to consumption devices and including electrical energy storage (battery) management and grid export. It will also monitor heat flows based on heat meters from the generating devices, to thermal store, onsite cooling tower and building (and in the future to a wider site heat network). In the second phase, separate from this tender, the SEM will be expanded to a full site monitoring system which will also integrate data acquisition, control action for the individual converters and safety from/of individual equipment control systems providing an overall site Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system. Whilst phase two is separate from this tender, system designs should take the expansion requirements into account in the design phase. This is an EU open exercise.
