The tender document also specifies that the power plant shall provide a reliable and independent power supply to PSPCL at 11 KV bus in the nearest 66/11KV Grid in IPP mode.
Further, the power plant shall have provisions to meet the auxiliary power requirements of the plant such as control room, and yard lighting and export the excess power generated to the PSPCL grid after stepping it up to 11KV.
The Inverter shall be designed to convert DC power produced by SPV modules, into AC power and adjust the voltage and frequency levels to suit the grid voltage and frequency.
The plant shall also have a provision to import power from the grid for localised use in case of load exceeding the PV generation/non-availability of backup DC power during night/shutdown conditions.
The bidder must be a manufacturer/system integrator for solar plant(s) companies/SPG or EPC who have designed, manufactured, tested, supplied, erected and commissioned at least one ground-mounted or rooftop solar PV project of 2 MW or above capacity anywhere in India.
The bidder must also have experience in the operation and maintenance of solar PV projects of aggregate 2 MW capacity or more for a minimum of 1 year, in any of the last five years in which project(s) is/are in successful operation on the date of bid opening.
