The core scope of work for this tender involves the delivery, placement, commissioning, and maintenance of a complete Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) equipped with an Edge Energy Management System (EMS) and SCADA couplings to address grid congestion.

Key responsibilities of the contractor include:

• Delivering a complete installation, encompassing BESS units, a Battery Management System (BMS), PCS/inverter(s), a local controller/Edge EMS, safety features, auxiliary systems, and a communication interface to process automation.
• Performing on-site delivery, placement, assembly guidance, commissioning, and adjustment of the BESS.
• Providing all necessary prerequisites for civil preparation, foundation, cable entry, maintenance space, weight, heat dissipation, and accessibility.
• Offering a comprehensive maintenance contract for the agreed system boundary, which covers preventive and corrective maintenance, periodic inspections, monitoring, fault analysis, and essential software/firmware updates. The supplier must guarantee the system's availability, safety, and proper functioning throughout the contract duration.

Elements explicitly *outside* the contractor's delivery scope are:

• The electrical connection to the existing installation, civil preparation, and electrical preparation, which will be handled by WRIJ/house installer.
• The delivery, installation, and connection of network cabling, including the network switch.

Core deliverables include, but are not limited to:

• System documentation such as system descriptions, datasheets, demarcation lists, layout drawings, and a delivery/implementation plan.
• Functional descriptions of local energy control and safe fallback mechanisms, along with a risk analysis for RWZI process operation.
• Detailed BESS datasheets, capacity calculations, and warranty conditions.
• Interface descriptions, data point lists, and protocol descriptions for integration with ABB 800xA.
• Logging matrices for events and monitoring, security/VPN architecture, and a comprehensive Cybersecurity Security Plan.
• Policies for hardening, malware, patching, updates, and vulnerability management.
• Procedures for backup/restore, incident management, and asset registration.
• A complete completion dossier containing as-built drawings, manuals, maintenance instructions, spare parts lists, warranty graphs, testing data, and certifications, including an EC declaration of conformity and a battery passport.
• Test and acceptance plans, protocols (e.g., FAT/SAT/SIT), and associated reports.
• A maintenance plan and a 10-year support proposal detailing scope, frequencies, rates, and SLA options.
• Regular maintenance reports and digital performance declarations for products as required.

The project is titled "BESS systeem met Edge EMS ten behoeve van netcongestie" (BESS system with Edge EMS for grid congestion). The delivery is expected within six calendar months of the order date.
