Description

The Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) is an Innovate UK (IUK) Challenge program to support UK industry to seize the economic opportunities from the global transition to clean technologies and electrification. The programme will help businesses across numerous sectors including transport, energy, construction and agriculture to invest and work together to capitalise on the UK’s strengths in this technology. The DER program vision is “To make the UK globally recognised as the centre of excellence in PEMD manufacturing processes”. As part of that program, Newcastle University has been awarded a large grant to establish a new DER Innovation Centre (DER-IC) in the North East of England. The NE DER-IC will concentrate on the prototyping and scale-up of power electronics and electric motors. This document is focussed on the assembly of electric motors and the purchase of relevant equipment for that activity. The DPS Lots are as follows: 1. Metrology 2. Environmental Testing 3. Power Electronics Test Platform 4. Power Supplies 5. Test Enclosures 6. Encapsulation 7. Rotor Balancing
