- Description
- The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport is seeks seeking sources for the design and development of a high density energy storage system to operate on-board of a submarine in a pulsed power application. The requirements specified below apply to the entire system, comprised of the energy storage device and all associated components (e.g. charging monitoring system, safety features, any ancillary support equipment, etc). Requirements for the energy storage system are as follows: Output voltage: 780 VDC open circuit/620 VDC full load; Output power: 2 MW pulse for up to 1 second; Duty Cycle: The system is to be operated intermittently, with periods as long as one month between cycles. When operated, the duty cycle consists of 2 pulses within 30 seconds followed by a minimum of 5 minutes downtime prior to repeating the evolution. This process may be repeated up to 10 times (20 cycles) in succession. Recharging is not permitted during pulse discharge. System availability: The energy storage system must be capable of remaining at a state of charge capable of supporting its duty cycle for its entire service life, or be capable of being charged to this level in less than 30 seconds. Power supply: Storage system charge/recharge power availability by either a 700 VDC or 450 VAC. Space & Weight: Packaged system not to exceed 100 cu ft and 1750 lb. Shock: the system must be capable of remaining operational following a shock input with a static equivalent of 250 g?s. Vibration: All energy storage equipment would be subjected to exploratory vibration testing, dwell testing, and fixed frequency endurance testing in the range of 4 to 20 Hz. Environmental requirements: The system must be capable of operating in a temperature range of 32 deg. F to 122 deg. F with a relative humidity of up to 100%. Technical maturity of the proposed technology must be such that design and delivery can be completed within two (2) years. Life Cycle: Life cycle goal is 2200 pulse cycles over a period of eleven (11) years, however lower values will be considered in the context of an overall system life cycle cost. Any interested source that can provide the requirements cited above is invited to submit a response to this sources sought notice. The response shall include a description of the energy storage technology proposed and a conceptual design of the energy storage system, including system monitoring/charging equipment and safety features, capable of meeting the requirements specified within this synopsis. As a minimum, the response shall address: (1) Energy storage system capacity: (2) System availability (as described above); (3) System packaged weight and volume: (4) System life cycle in terms of the specified duty cycles and a system shelf life; (5) Rough Order of Magnitude system cost; (6) Potential system failure modes; (7) System reliability/maintainability. The package shall include the following: (1) Name and address of applicant (Corporate/Principal Office); (2) Name, telephone and fax number of a point of contact; (3) Date firm started; (4) SIC Code; (5) Type of business (i.e: large or small business, small disadvantaged 8(a) certified, woman-owned small business, small disadvantaged business (not 8(a) certified)). All of the information sought should be conveyed in no more than 10 pages. In addition, the following supporting technical information is requested as appendices to the package: (1) Applicable product test data; (2) Applicable MSDS?s. Response is requested by 7 February 2003 and should be sent to: Attn: Adam Tuchman, Code 5911; Naval Undersea Warfare Center Div. Newport, Simonpietri Drive, Building 11, Newport, RI 02841-1708. This is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP). There is no commitment on the part of the U.S. Navy to award a contract as a result of this request for information. Reference Control No. 031341 in any response to this office. NAICS: 335911.
