## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation is seeking suppliers for the procurement of a regenerative DC Test Load titled "UKRI-2345 Regenerative DC Test Load" in the category of Power relays in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on 26th September 2022 and an award period starting on the same date.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those specialised in goods related to Power relays, to compete and potentially secure a contract with UK Research & Innovation. The procurement process is currently in the open stage, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate. With a contract value of £450,000, this opportunity could be beneficial for small or medium enterprises looking to engage in the development and supply of regenerative DC loads.

## Notice

This requirement is for a regenerative DC load capable of sinking 9500A at 50V, returning the power to the grid with a high degree of efficiency. The primary requirement of the system is to act as a constant resistance test load during acceptance testing and commissioning of a replacement highly stabilised DC current controlled power supply for the ISIS synchrotron, where testing with the real load is not practical.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement is for a regenerative DC load capable of sinking 9500A at 50V, returning the power to the grid with a high degree of efficiency. The primary requirement of the system is to act as a constant resistance test load during acceptance testing and commissioning of a replacement highly stabilised DC current controlled power supply for the ISIS synchrotron, where testing with the real load is not practical. The load must be able to present a pre-programmed constant resistance to the power supply output over a range of 4mO to 5.25mO. Following this testing the regenerative load will be re-purposed as test loads for future DC PSU testing and development and as such must be modular in construction to give increased flexibility in load specification.
