- Description
- N0016423SNB77 � Request for Information � Next Generation Large Platform Energy Storage � PSC 6160 � NAICS 335910 Midwest Tech Bridge Opportunity Announcement: Next Generation Large Platform Energy Storage This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC-CR). NSWC-CR is seeking information for market research and planning purposes. Information may be submitted by any government or non-government entity including commercial firms, non-profit organizations, and any institutions of higher education with degree-granting programs in science and /or engineering (universities), or by consortia compromising such concerns. The Crane Division encourages participation by small business, small disadvantaged business, HUB zone small business, woman-owned small business, veteran-owned small business, and historically black colleges and universities. The Midwest Tech Bridge will host a technology day event as a result of the submissions it receives in the early June timeframe at the Westgate Technology Park in Odon, Indiana. Organizations are invited to submit component-level solutions, complete system solutions, or both. There are no firm technology maturity requirements for solutions. The following information has been intentionally generalized to widen the aperture of potential solutions and approaches. BACKGROUND: The United States Navy requires large energy storage system as backup power source for large sea platform vehicles. The Navy is interested in all viable technologies and those in early development that show potential. The Energy Storage System can be comprised of any available technology (i.e. battery) that meets the defined general requirements. The System operates as an uninterrupted power source to the platform's DC electric Bus. The Energy Storage System shall be modular for purpose of installation, maintenance, and repair/replacement. These modules will be assembled into the larger system within the Energy Storage Compartment. This technology search will inform both specific platform solutions and the Navy�s overall technology roadmap for future energy storage solutions. Interest is in both the core energy storage technology and any supporting technical solutions: power management, power conversion, etc. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: 1. Scope The Energy Storage System can be comprised of any available technology (e.g. battery or other self-contained system) or combination of energy sources (e.g. capacitors and battery) that meets the defined general requirements of capacity and service life. 2. General Description Any final solution will operate as an uninterruptible power source to the platform�s DC electrical Bus and is considered a critical safety device. The Energy Storage System shall be comprised of modules for purpose of installation, maintenance, and repair/replacement. Similar systems have utilized one large battery with modules assembled into the larger system within a designated Energy Storage Compartment.� This is still an acceptable solution and many of the objectives described below are derived from that.� The Navy is also open to multiple smaller systems located throughout the platform that meet the same overall energy storage needs.� 3. General Objectives The Energy Storage System will be electrically tied to a DC Bus that will also include other power sources, including a power conversion equipment to allow connection to higher voltage bus and other power sources. The various power sources can be isolated through electrical switch gear but will generally be operating together to ensure reliable power to critical systems. The Energy Storage System will have a service life of ? 72 months and 240 equivalent cycles.� In this case, one equivalent cycle is defined as recharging ~85% nameplate capacity, regardless of the number of standard cycles it takes to recharge that amount. The complete Energy Storage System will be able to provide a capacity of roughly 2,500 kWhr-3,000 kWhr.� Actually capacity and maximum power demands have not been determined.� This number is provided as a guide to the general scale that will be needed. The operating voltage has not yet been defined.� The voltage range for the system will be approximately 100 VDC, however the nominal voltage for the system may fall anywhere between 200 VDC and 900 VDC. Minimization of cell and system resistances are designed to limit voltage drop when supporting high power demands. Other system parameters are as follows: The system must be able to provide total required power at any time and without the operator performing any actions. Transient electrical surges due to cycling equipment (i.e. pump starts) on the DC Bus can occur at any time. The typical storage temperature is between 0� Celsius (C) to 55�C. The system will be staged outside near sea water for short periods of time (days) during platform installation. The typical compartment operating temperature is between 10�C to 40�C and will be in an enclosed space.� Gas generation during normal operations and the footprint for needed cooling systems should be minimized.� The compartment will be ventilated; minimum ventilation requirements are not yet set. The system will be required to function following an external shock event. Any required management systems should be included. Any required safety mitigations (e.g. fire suppression system) should be included. SUBMISSION AND TIMELINES: Responses are required by 1400 hours, Eastern Time Zone (ET) 24 May 2023 in order to be considered for the Energy Storage System Industry Day schedule 08 June 2023. After reviewing the responses, NSWC Crane may request a meeting or teleconference with responding parties to gain further insight into their capabilities. NSWC Crane is not obligated to hold these meetings with any or all respondents. If NSWC Crane decides to meet with a party, it will only meet with those that responded to this notice, by the submission deadline. NSWC Crane will not reimburse costs for participation in these meetings or teleconferences.� The Government seeks to meet the following timeline: 04 MAY 2023������ RFI Opens 24 MAY 2023������ Responses due to the Government, RFI Closes at 1400 08 JUN 2023������� Energy Storage System Industry Day Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is not expected to be generated from this RFI. Any CUI that is introduced under this RFI shall be properly marked by the owner and safeguarded as provided herein and in all applicable U.S. Federal laws and regulations. Attachments/Links No attachments or links have been added to this opportunity.

The Midwest Tech Bridge will host a virtual Next Generation Energy Storage Summit on 8 June 2023. This virtual technology event will kick off with an overview of NSWC Crane that will deep dive into the Power & Energy Division technology areas/needs and the Department of the Navy Power and Energy thrust and potential opportunities for the ecosystem. The event will culminate with a presentation from a Midwest ecosystem leader in battery technology. To register, click here: https://invtdu.to/energysummit
