Technical requirements: The Government of India is aiming for 175 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2022 out of which 160 GW will be constituted from wind and solar power systems. Two main challenges come hand in hand with high penetration of wind and solar systems installations that are variability and uncertainity. Variability and uncertainty make the generation from wind and solar PV project difficult to schedule and despatch. This causes difficulty in planning and managing overall balance of supply and demand. Additionally it imposes several other challenges in smooth grid operation and management.
Green Energy Corridors (GEC) is an ambitious programme of Govt. of India to increase the capacity of Indian electricity grid to be able to take up larger amounts of electricity from variable sources of renewable energies.
The technical cooperation component of this bilateral programme under the project ‘Green Energy Corridors’ is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation & Development (BMZ) and is implemented in India by GIZ under the Indo — German Energy Programme — Green Energy Corridors (IGEN — GEC) project in cooperation with the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
Under IGEN — GEC, considerable amount of work has been done on development of the concept and preparation of detailed project reports (DPRs) for the establishment of Renewable Energy Management Centres (REMCs) in the existing Load Despatch Centres(LDCs). REMCs, equipped with advanced forecasting tools/services, smart despatching solutions & real time monitoring of RE generation, can closely coordinate with the grid operations team of State LDCs / Regional LDCs / National LDC for safe, secure and optimal operations of the overall grid. The overall expected functionality of REMCs is listed as under:
— Central Repository for RE generation data that will be used by the concerned xLDC for MIS and commercial settlement purposes.
— All the RE related data generated and stored at the REMC at the SLDC level (except the real time RE generation) shall be sent to the RLDC and NLDC.
These REMCs are expected to be established and operational by march 2019. The objective of this assignment is therefore to enable and extend support to Power System Operator Corporation (POSOCO) and National Power Training Institute (NPTI) in designing and delivering an advanced learning programme on large scale integration of RE in India particularly focussing on topics relevant for REMCs. It is planned to conduct three complete training courses (comprising of online and face to face modules) with a maximum of thirty participants each (i.e. a total of approx. ninety participants) over the duration of the contract.
The tecnical assessment is only based on reference projects with a minimum commission value of 250 000 EUR.
At least 3 reference projects in the technical field of blended (online & classroom) capacity buidling in RE domain and at least 3 reference project in the region World.
According to Article 160, Section 3 of the German Act Against Restraint of Competition, application for re-examination is not permissible insofar as
1. the applicant has identified the claimed infringement of the contract award regulations before submitting the application for re-examination and has not submitted a complaint to the commissioning party within a period of 10 calendar days; the expiry of the period pursuant to Article 134, Section 2 remains unaffected,
