About This Opportunity

Translated

This tender concerns the expansion of an existing medium voltage system for a research project at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (IWES) in Bremerhaven, Germany. The project involves the modification of test facilities to enable the testing of various grid conditions. A key component of this expansion is the installation of several additional switchgear units of the Siemens 8DJH 24kV type. These new switchgear units are to be erected at the old airport site in Bremerhaven. The Fraunhofer IWES is a leading research institution, and this project is crucial for advancing their capabilities in grid integration and testing of renewable energy systems. The scope of work will likely include the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of the new switchgear, ensuring seamless integration with the existing medium voltage infrastructure. Potential bidders should be experienced in high-voltage electrical installations and familiar with Siemens switchgear systems. The location in Bremerhaven, a significant hub for wind energy research and development, underscores the strategic importance of this upgrade. This tender represents an opportunity for specialized electrical engineering firms to contribute to cutting-edge research in the energy sector.

This is a supplies contract in the energy and power, architecture and engineering and Research sectors, with a focus on Power Generation, Electrical Engineering and Research Institutions. Located in Germany, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
