NTPC Ltd., a government enterprise in India, has announced the invitation for bids (IFB) for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) package for a 100MW/400MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at NTPC Ramagundam,Telangana.
The scope of work for the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) encompasses the installation of a fully operational system. This includes crucial phases such as design, engineering, supply, packaging, forwarding, transportation, unloading, storage, construction, erection, testing, and commissioning of a grid-connected BESS with 100MW and 400MWh rated AC discharge capacity at 33KV switchgear interconnection point. Further, it should be engineered to have a service life of 20 years, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
In addition to the installation, the successful bidder will also be responsible for comprehensive operation and maintenance (O&M) services for the BESS for a period of ten years. These O&M activities will commence from the date of successful completion of the trial run, ensuring that the system operates efficiently and effectively throughout its service life.
The successful bidder will also bear various responsibilities like developing technical specifications and layouts for the BESS, site preparation, constructing essential facilities such as control rooms and switchgear rooms, and providing comprehensive operation and maintenance services for ten years after the trial run.
Additionally, detailed documentation for design and performance will need to be provided, along with training for operators and maintenance personnel. To qualify for the project, bidders must meet specific technical and financial criteria, including a track record of manufacturing or integrating grid-interactive battery energy storage systems of at least 40 MW cumulative installed capacity, with at least one system having a capacity of 10 MW or higher and operational for a minimum of six months prior to the bid opening date. Bidders are required to provide a bid security of INR 10 crores and pay a bidding document fee of INR 22,500.
The detailed bidding documents will be available for download from October 21, 2024, until November 6, 2024, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 11, 2024, to address any queries. The final deadline for submitting both the techno-commercial and price bids is set for November 22, 2024, at 15:00 IST, with the opening of the techno-commercial bids taking place on the same day at 15:30 IST. NTPC plans to finance the BESS project through its own resources, emphasizing its commitment to enhancing India’s energy storage capabilities.
The implementation of this battery storage system is expected to improve grid stability and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, thereby contributing to the nation’s goal of achieving significant renewable energy targets by 2030.
