General Information The Bureau of Reclamation, Parker Dam and Power Plant is located at 2001 Parker Dam Rd. Parker CA, 92267 in San Bernardino County California, Latitude: N 34° 17' 41.3844" Longitude: W 114° 8' 24.9684".

Background

The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) Parker Dam has 4- 30MW Francis style turbine hydrogenators equipped with Eaton/ Basler static excitation cabinets. These excitation cabinets were installed between 2005 and 2011 and require the voltage regulators on all (4) generator units to be refurbished. The current voltage regulators are Basler ECS-2100. The main processor chip on the Basler ECS-2100 is obsolete and cannot be repaired, replaced nor is it supported anymore and is a known point of failure. Reclamation is looking to replace the Basler ECS-2100 with the current Basler Regulator DECS-2100 as well as the other associated components included in the BASLER DECS-2100 digital exciter controller upgrade.

Scope of Work

Overview- Provide the retrofit of the current Basler ECS-2100 voltage regulators with current Basler DECS-2100 voltage regulators conversion kit. Vendor shall provide a turnkey installation to include all labor, parts, equipment to install, commission, and train personnel on the four 30MW hydrogenating units at Parker Dam.

Requirements

Digital front end retrofit the current Basler ECS-2100 voltage regulators to DECS-2100 voltage regulator on generator units P-1, P-2, P-3, P-4 with installation, commissioning, and training.
