Yuquot微電網(wǎng)項目的開發(fā)商發(fā)布了一份信息請求(RFI)，以確定能夠與不列顛哥倫比亞省努特卡島的微電網(wǎng)系統(tǒng)集成的波浪能轉(zhuǎn)換器技術(shù)。

項目團隊有興趣與有資質(zhì)的公司合作，探索將波浪能技術(shù)與微電網(wǎng)集成的可行性。

該項目由Mowachaht Muchalat First Nation(MMFN)所有，已聘請Barkley project Group(BPG)發(fā)布RFI，該RFI在2023年4月14日之前一直開放申請。

與合格的公司和專業(yè)人員合作對于確定項目的最終范圍至關(guān)重要，包括波浪能轉(zhuǎn)換器(WEC)技術(shù)提供商在項目團隊中的作用;影響系統(tǒng)設(shè)計的微電網(wǎng)集成考慮因素;以及微電網(wǎng)發(fā)電組件，包括類型、數(shù)量和規(guī)模。

通過本RFI流程獲得的任何有關(guān)興趣和資格的信息可用于告知潛在的征求建議書(RFP)的結(jié)構(gòu)并生成候選名單。

這包括但不限于項目交付方法、最低受訪者資格和經(jīng)驗、技術(shù)規(guī)范、預(yù)算和績效預(yù)期。

RFI表示：“這份文件旨在確定受訪者參與加拿大西部第一波能源項目的機會。參與該項目的人可以將自己定位為行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，同時為加拿大各地未來的項目設(shè)定優(yōu)先順序。”。

Yuquot微電網(wǎng)項目是一項由土著人主導(dǎo)的清潔能源倡議，將為Yuquot偏遠的離網(wǎng)社區(qū)提供可靠的可再生能源

該社區(qū)的設(shè)施目前單獨提供柴油發(fā)電機和/或光伏和電池存儲服務(wù)。

原文如下：

The developers of the Yuquot Microgrid Project have issued a Request for Information (RFI) to determine wave energy converter technologies that are capable of integrating with a microgrid system at Nootka Island in British Columbia.

The project team is interested in engaging with qualified firms to explore the feasibility of integrating wave energy technologies with the microgrid.

The project, owned by Mowachaht Muchalaht First Nation (MMFN), has engaged Barkley Project Group (BPG) to issue the RFI, which remains open for applications until April 14, 2023.*

Engaging with qualified firms and professionals is essential to determining the final scope of the project including the role of the wave energy converter (WEC) technology provider within the project team; microgrid integration considerations that impact system design; and microgrid generation components including type, quantity, and scale.

Any information obtained through this RFI process regarding interests and qualifications may be used to inform the structure, and generate the shortlist for, a potential Request for Proposal (RFP).

This includes but is not limited to the project delivery method, minimum respondent qualifications and experience, technical specifications, budgeting, and performance expectations.

“This document intends to identify the opportunity for Respondents to be involved in Western Canada’s first wave energy project. Those engaged in the project could position themselves as industry leaders, while setting a precedence for future projects alike, across Canada,” the RFI states.

The Yuquot Microgrid Project is an Indigenous-led clean energy initiative that will provide reliable and renewable energy to the remote off-grid community of Yuquot

The community’s facilities are currently individually serviced with diesel generators and/or PV and battery storage.

The purpose of the Yuquot Microgrid Project is to develop a central energy generation facility that minimizes reliance on diesel and maximizes the use of renewable energy and storage technologies. The WEC will connect to a microgrid system comprised of solar PV, battery storage, and diesel generation.

To remind, the University of Victoria’s Pacific Regional Institute for Marine Energy Discovery (PRIMED) recently secured C$1 million ($730,000) for the development of a first of its kind renewable energy microgrid incorporating a wave energy device at Yuquot on Nootka Island.
