Beschreibung der Beschaffung
The main work under this assignment are following:
(i) Development of a ‘Solar Technology and Application Atlas for India’ (STAAI)
The objective is to develop a GIS based online portal - the STAAI - that includes all pertinent information about New and Innovative Solar Applications (NISA) relevant for India.
In order to develop the STAAI, the contractor first needs to explore and analyse NISA which are used or under development internationally and examine their relevance for India. The results should be recorded in a technical study and discussed with MNRE/ National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE)/ Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI)/ National Institute for Transforming India (NITI AAYOG)/other stakeholders. Together with all relevant stakeholders, all solar applications that are of high relevance for India will be selected to be included in the STAAI.
Second, the contractor has to examine in detail the selected NISA based on the following criteria (no exclusive list, will be further discussed in the kick-off meeting):
— estimation of the technical potential and its GIS mapping,
— Sector specific solutions,
— ease of implementation and scaling-up potential.
Third, the STAAI shall be developed and shall contain information about:
— the companies involved in providing solutions for the selected applications and technologies,
— the technical and economic implications of the selected applications (e.g. business models),
— the relevant regulations affecting the use of the selected technologies and applications
And STAAI fulfil the following requirements:
— serve as a one stop information centre,
— serve as a Information sharing and knowledge management tool for NISA,
— the possibility to filter or sort by different technologies and applications and consumer groups,
— the possibilities to estimate the technical and commercial potentials and viability for different NISA,
— the possibility to easily add new information to the portal (e.g. new technologies and applications, business models, etc.).
(ii) Demonstration/Pilot of new and innovative solar PV application
The objective is to support a company in the implementation of a demonstration project. More specifically, the contractor needs to engage with the company and facilitate the demonstration of a pilot project through procurement of material, consultation and supervision. The contractor is responsible for the successful implementation of the demonstration project.
(iii) Knowledge exchange and field visit
The contractor is required to plan and organise an international field visit for a group (max 4-6) of Indian stakeholders (regulators, utility managers, etc.) consisting of meetings with relevant stakeholders and field visits.
The consultancy assignment is for a duration of 18 months from the date of signing of the contract.
