The brief

The University of Sheffield is a leading institution in energy research.

The focus of the research in this tender is on electrically powered rail transport systems and electric road vehicles (EVs), and extends to the power supply network which supports them.

The proposed research, supported by funding from the EPSRC, addresses both the technology to store electric energy in a form suited to transport use, and the modelling to understand how to use the technology to reduce overall energy demand.

This tender is for a multi-source bi-directional DC/DC converter that is suitable for the connection of multiple energy sources that can export and import power to a DC train power network.

The scope of supply for this tender includes the DC/DC converter(s), DC breaker, DC contactor, 90kW dump resistor, protection devices (over voltage/over current) and busbars for making connections.

This is an Non-EU open exercise.
