- Description
- STATEMENT OF WORK This device will include one or two Type IV 70 MPa tanks capable of storing a total of 4-7 kg H2. The tank(s) will have a thermal pressure relief device and will be instrumented with pressure and temperature sensors. The tank will be connected to a 70 MPa receptacle equipped with pressure and temperature sensors and will have IrDA communications capability. All will be integrated with a data acquisition, analysis, and control system. A valve near the receptacle attached to a vent manifold will be used to both simulate a leak for fault detection tests and for controlled defueling. Additional temperature sensors will record ambient temperature near the receptacle and various external system temperatures. The station test device will be capable of performing key tests defined in CSA HGV 4.3. These include IrDA communication tests, fault detection tests, and communication and non-communication fills at 70 MPa (H70). Additionally, the device must be capable of carrying out communication and non-communication fill tests at 35 MPa (H35). All test parameters listed in HGV 4.3 Table I will be provided in an easily accessible data file. 1.Co-development of hydrogen station test device design The contractor shall partner with the Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Industry Partners Project Team, hereafter collectively referred to as "the Project Team", to design and produce a hydrogen station test device. The contractor shall adhere to the detailed device specification document provided by the Project Team. In addition, the Project Team shall offer guidance to the contractor and shall approve the final BOM, P&ID, DAQ system and software, and mobile platform prior to, or at the completion of the device design review. 2.Design to the device specification The contractor shall design and build the hydrogen station test device to the specification outlined in "Station Test Device Specification.pdf" as referenced in the Documents Incorporated by Reference Clause. 3.Hazards analysis (HA) and/or failure modes effects analysis (FMEA) participation A safety-related analysis must be carried out prior to finalizing the device design by a team with appropriate expertise to ensure safe design and operation of the device. An approved HA or FMEA process must be used and the team will include SNL and NREL as well as other representatives from the Project Team. The outcome of these activities may be modifications to the system layout and requirements for passive and active engineering controls to enable safe operations. A report will be written summarizing the results of this analysis. It is preferred that a third-party specialist be used to facilitate this process, but not required. 4.Device design review Prior to finalizing the design or fabrication, a device design review will be carried out by a team with appropriate expertise to ensure the device meets the specification requirements. This team will include SNL and NREL as well as representatives from the Project Team. This review may be carried out via a web meeting application or in person. The contractor must provide the review team with enough information to carry out the review. This should include the piping and instrumentation diagram, dimensioned drawings of the overall system, an electrical wiring diagram, a preliminary BOM, and description of the DAQ system. 5.Project update meetings The contractor will participate with the Project Team in monthly update meetings to provide a status of the design development. These meetings will be scheduled and led by SNL. 6.On-site device demonstration Following completion of the device assembly, integration and initial checkout, the contractor shall host representatives of the Project Team for a demonstration of the device capabilities. The purpose of this demonstration is for the Project Team to approve the device for shipment to NREL for final validation testing. 7.Supplier support of validation testing Final validation testing of the device will be carried out at the NREL Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF). The contractor shall provide technical support and training on device operation at ESIF for a duration of one week following delivery of the device. The goal of this testing is to verify that it meets the requirements of the specification. Testing will be carried out at the ESIF facility with a research dispenser equipped for 70 MPa fueling with -40 C pre-cooling (H70-T40). All of the required tests will be carried out and test procedures will be verified per CSA HGV 4.3. Measured and calculated parameters will be recorded and checked for completeness and accuracy. All required tests will be carried out multiple times to ensure repeatability and it is anticipated that the testing duration will be three weeks. The device must complete all of the required tests and produce the required data to be considered acceptable. 8.Warranty and technical support The Contractor shall provide a warranty for the integrated system, at no additional cost to Sandia, for a period of 1 year from the date of validation testing and product acceptance and shall be inclusive of all related shipping fees. If the system fails to operate according to the level defined by the specifications during the warranty period and the failure is due to poor workmanship, the Contractor shall repair the system and return it to its defined level of performance within XX business days of the notification of the failure. Following completion of validation testing, the contractor shall provide technical support on device operation on an as-needed basis and shall be charged at the hourly rate delineated in the ceiling price clause. Project Deliverables: D1. Station test device per the specification D2. Operating instructions/user manual including troubleshooting guide D3. Maintenance schedule and instructions D4. Piping and instrumentation diagram D5. Dimensioned drawings of the overall system D6. Electrical wiring diagram D7. DAQ software code, description, and instructions for modification D8.
