Description
The consultancy aims to evaluate the optimal operation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with a 50 MWp solar park in Guinea bissau. The project involves analyzing BESS usage, simulating optimal operations, and contributing to the structuring of hybrid Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The team must include experts in energy planning, solar PV, civil engineering, geotechnical studies, and GIS. Experience with Guinea-Bissau's energy sector is required.
Scope of Work
The objective of this consultancy is to evaluate the optimal operation and functionalities of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in conjunction with a 50 MWp solar park in Guinea-Bussau. This assessment aims to provide valuable insights to the World Bank for informing the Government's procurement decisions regarding regional solar parks. Additionally, the study must contribute to the broader discourse on the structuring of hybrid Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) within the World Bank's initiatives.
The scope of work entails analyzing the usage and operation of BESS, focusing on Phase 1 of the regional solar park in The Gambia as a case study. The Consultant is responsible for tasks including inception and data gathering, as well as simulating optimal BESS operation and functionalities. The project is expected to be completed within six months from the contract signing date, with provision for two international trips during the contract duration outlined in the financial proposal.
