Integrable power amplifier and multi-environment chamber for power systems and power electronics research

Tender description

The University of Strathclyde seeks notes of interest from suppliers able to provide an integrable power amplifier and multi-environment chamber for power systems and power electronics research. The offered equipment must have these essential features: >> Minimum of 4 four-quadrant power amplifiers each rated at 50kW (405Vac and 800Vdc), capable of full control (voltage and current) with analogue inputs for interface. >> Environmental chamber (1m3) integrated with vibration table capable of the following characteristics >>> Temperature -70°C to +180°C >>> Humidity 20 to 95%RH >>> Pressure 101.3 to 0.1kPa >>> Vibration MIL-STD-810 with the ability to generate user specific profiles via analogue or digital interface. The environmental chamber should have electrical inputs (external to the chamber) and outputs (inside the chamber) capable of carrying current for 405V 3-ph 200kW and 800Vdc 200kW. The expected weight for the device under test is 150Kgs. Prospective suppliers are asked to register their interest in a potential procurement exercise by 1700hrs on 17th July 2020 in order to be involved in pre-tender market engagement with the University. Those who register an interest after this date will involved at the discretion of the University.
