Description

1 lot of 'water to wire' hydroelectric turbine, generator and accessories.

The contract will be to supply a complete “water to wire” hydro electric generator package suitable to generate electricity in a run of river application. The available design flow rate is 7 cubic meters per second at a head of approximately 60 meters. Additional water is available at certain times in the year. The turbine will be expected to operate effectively at a low flow rate of at least 40% of design flow. The turbine will need to have a positive setting height (height above tail water level) of a minimum of 2.5 meters across full range of operation to facilitate power house construction. The output of the scheme will need to be at 33 000 Volts, 50 Hz. The scheme will need to be able to operate both in parallel with the grid, or in island mode if there is a loss of the grid for a significant period of time. All necessary auxiliaries to enable this operation will need to be included in the supply. All necessary protection equipment and settings will need to be provided.

- Complete water to wire package inclusive of suitable turbine, generator, main inlet valve, draft tube, hydraulic control pack, turbine pipework, oil cooler, control panel, control cabling, turbine auxiliaries (including black start requirements).

-  High voltage switchgear and protection, power cabling.

-  Main step up transformer and protection.

-  Station service transformer and protection.

-  Spare parts for one years operation.

-  Transport and packaging.

-  Installation and commissioning.

-  Proposal for after sales service for minimum of 3 years.
