## Summary

Northumbria University at Newcastle is currently conducting an open procurement process for a contract titled "GB-Newcastle Upon Tyne: RT Simulator for Large Scale Energy Systems". This tender is focused on the development of real-time simulation solutions for large-scale energy systems, including renewable energy sources, and requires the proposed solution to integrate with existing power engineering equipment. The tender was published on 2nd February 2022, and interested parties must submit their proposals by 16th February 2022. The contract, valued at £500,000, will commence on 21st February 2022 and run until 20th February 2024, taking place in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those focused on real-time operating systems, simulation technology, and engineering solutions. Companies with capabilities in integrating hardware with software for complex energy systems will find this tender highly relevant. Additionally, firms that can demonstrate compliance with standard communication protocols and offer extensive experience in rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop applications would be well-suited to compete for this contract, thereby enhancing their market presence and driving business growth within the energy sector.

## Notice

We require a real-time simulator solution that has the capability to perform the real-time simulation of large-scale energy systems including renewable energy sources. The proposed solution should consist of 2 workstations and have the capability to integrate with the physical power engineering equipment (e.g., laboratory-scale power systems). Furthermore, the solution should be compliance with the standard communication protocol and be capable of performing model-in-the-loop, rapid control prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and Power HIL applications.
