This procurement relates to the delivery of an Options Paper (four options) associated with the replacement project of a SCADA system (including data storage solution), frequency converter and grid support solution in an operational micro grid installation.
The current installation is a PowerCorp/ABB installation which is at end of functional life and no longer supportable. Going forward we wish to replace the current system with a robust, well supported alternative that may include technology advances and/or value stacking compared to the original installation.
To reiterate the background provided in the ROI, The Ross Island Wind Energy Network (RIWE) is an integrated wind and diesel generator system that supplies power to the Antarctic bases of McMurdo Station (US) and Scott Base (NZ). As part of the RIWE network, the infrastructure includes the southern-most wind farm in the world, a three-turbine wind farm constructed at the Crater Hill area of Ross Island. The wind farm was commissioned in 2010 as part of the New Zealand Government’s initiative to contribute to a low carbon energy source by reducing diesel consumption at both sites.

This is a closed RFP process.

This tender has been awarded.
