Evaluation Mechanism:
Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT)
Description:
The Qualification Trial Process (QTP) provides the link that facilitates the transition from a fossil fuel powered system to a sustainable renewable power system. The QTP acts as a platform to trial system services from new technology providers and identify the operational complexities to the provision of services from a range of providers. This will ultimately provide a route to an enduring services market. The purpose of the QTP is to identify commercial and technical considerations for the qualification and large scale deployment of new technologies on the power system. Not only for 2023, but moving towards 2030. Europe has set an ambitious renewable energy target for 2030 of 32 percent RES. In order to achieve this, a target of 70 percent renewable contribution to electricity by 2030 has been established. This poses challenges to traditional system operation and new technology integration such as: The 2023/2024 Qualification Trial Process will facilitate the real-time trials of both new and existing technologies for relevant System Service provision on the Ireland and Northern Ireland power system. This will help to identify and to resolve any issues associated with operational protocols, technology capability and communication challenges. More generally, the trials will also consider the challenges associated with the large-scale roll-out of these new technologies.. The trials will be designed to be bespoke with a focus on innovative technologies and strategies. The budget is €400K, please see RFP for full details
