About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science has issued a solicitation for an AC/DC or DC/DC converter solution to provide an energy storage system emulation capability at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The goal is to create power management conditions that represent those of multiple large capacity, high voltage batteries like those found in future heavy-duty electric vehicles. NREL seeks configurable converter solutions from manufacturers that can represent a wide range of energy storage technologies. The solicitation requires detailed technical specifications, qualitative merit criteria, and pricing information. Proposals will be evaluated using a Best Value Selection process considering both technical approach and price.
This is an unrestricted solicitation with no set-aside designation. The government has not provided details on any potential incumbent contractors. The available budget is approximately $1.2 million for 2 emulation systems with a combined 4MW power rating, with potential to increase to 5 systems with 10MW total. The place of performance is Golden, Colorado. Proposals are due by August 9, 2024.

Update #2 · Latest ·
NREL intends to provide DOE and industry with critical Research, Development, & Demonstration (RD&D) capabilities to accelerate and scale aggressive transportation decarbonization goals for the on- and off-road electric vehicle (EV) fleet. An energy storage system emulation capability will provide the ability to test system-level scenarios of a high-power electric vehicle charging station and its integration and operations with renewables and the power grid. The goal is to create power management conditions that represent those of multiple large capacity, high voltage batteries like those that may be found on future heavy-duty trucks, buses, and military vehicles.
NREL is in search of solutions from converter manufacturers to supply Alternating Current (AC)/Direct Current (DC) or DC/DC converter solutions which are configurable to represent multiple DC independently operated smaller units or a single combined unit and will need to be flexible to represent the response characteristics of a wide range of energy storage technologies available today and expected to be available in the future.
