Antarctica New Zealand is looking for a new microgrid control system and a new BESS. These are described separately below ahead of separate RFPs being issued for each component shortly following the close of the RFIs.
Part 1: Microgrid Control System
The new microgrid control system, including Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and historian, will be capable of controlling and monitoring the following components on the Ross Island microgrid:
• The wind farm (upgraded to 3 x EWT DW54x-1000kW turbines)
• The BESS (described in this RFI and included in the upcoming RFP)
• United States’ McMurdo Station Powerhouses (comprising of 5 x diesel generators)
• New Zealand’s Scott Base Powerhouse (comprising of 3 x diesel generators and a frequency converter)
Part 2: Battery Energy Storage System
Antarctica New Zealand is seeking a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to provide grid-smoothing and energy storage services for the Ross Island Microgrid.
Antarctica New Zealand requires an inverter rating of 2 MW (with some flexibility to accommodate different providers, ± 0.5 MW), however the MWh rating should be optimised based on Antarctica New Zealand’s available budget (discussed further under “what’s important to us”).
