Tender description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday, 10th May 2021, 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. Overview: The successful bidder will deliver a research report and recommendation as to whether the current ETSU guidance requires refreshing or if it remains suitable. To inform this research report and recommendation, the contractor will conduct desktop research of existing literature relating to ETSU and wind turbine noise, including AM. They will also conduct stakeholder engagement with those involved in the use of ETSU. The successful bidder will also be expected to conduct field measurements at different onshore wind installations to provide a snapshot of the magnitude of Amplitude Modulation that can be anticipated from the sample of turbines. The results of this work are expected to provide an initial guide as to whether there is any link between different turbine types and the extent of EAM and help identify whether further EAM measurement campaigns are needed and if so how these should be conducted and carried out. The outputs of this work will inform the research report and recommendation at Task 1. We invite bidders to suggest their own methodologies as to how they would undertake this task.
