IRPP
Part I - Instructions to Storage Developer
1 General Introduction and Background

1.1 Introduction
The following Instructions and Requirements for Proposal Preparation and
Submission (the “IRPP”) provide guidelines to the Storage Developer to submit its
technical and financial proposal for a 30 MW/60 MWh Electrical Storage System
project (“the Project”), as referenced in the MOU, to the Direct Proposals
Committee.
The IRPP is made up of four parts:
 Part I (Instruction for Proposal Preparation) comprises the instructions for

Proposal preparation to be followed by the Storage Developer, covering, among
other things, an overview on the tender process, the rules for proposal
preparation and submission, the methodology to be applied by the Direct
Proposals Committee for the evaluation of the Proposal and the execution of the
Storage Lease Agreement.
 Part II (Requirements for Proposal Preparation) includes the requirements for
proposal preparation, comprising, among other things, the requirements and the
information to be provided by the Storage Developer in respect to
 the Storage Developer’s organization;
 the technical requirements;
 the eligibility of contractors, equipment suppliers and major equipment;
 the implementation schedule; and
 the commercial and financial structure.
 Part III (Draft Project Agreements) comprising a draft of the Storage Lease
Agreement to be entered into between NEPCO and the Special Purpose
Company (“SPC”), as well as a Draft Transmission Connection Agreement that
will be entered into force between NEPCO and the SPC.
 Part IV (Proposal Forms of the IRPP for Electrical Storage) containing the
proposal forms to be submitted with the technical and financial proposal.
1.2 Background Explanation

With increasing shares of fluctuating renewable energy such as PV and wind new
challenges arise in the Jordan grid. The forecasted installed capacity of more than
1,600 MW of PV (1,018 MW from direct proposals and the rest from wheeling and
small-scale projects) and 715 MW of wind (all direct proposals) by 2021 in the
Jordan transmission system with a load fluctuating between 1,421 and 3,254 MW
(2016) will cause substantial uncertainties in the grid’s reliability. The ramp-rate
capabilities of the conventional power plants are not sufficient to deal with
potential sharp decreases of renewable generation. Further base load power plants
such as the Oil shale plants connecting in 2020 are reducing the ramp-rate
capabilities and reduce the amount of operational fast-responding gas power plants
which could be curtailed depending on the renewable generation. The Electrical
Storage System shall increase the grid’s reliability by means of increasing the
ramp-rate capability and in addition shall reduce the amount of curtailed PV mostly
during noon and the amount of curtailed wind mostly during night times. The
stored energy shall be provided at times of peak power plant operation in order to
offset up to two of the existing 15 MW gas peaking plant units.
1
IRPP
The frequency of the Jordan system is mainly influenced by the interconnection to

Egypt with a roughly 10 times larger power system. Frequency control with the
Egypt interconnection is therefore not meaningful and will only be applied in case
of an intertie failure.
Through the electrical storage Direct Proposal Submission process the Government
of Jordan wishes to invite private sector Storage Developers who qualified under
the Request for Submission of Expression of Interest in order to establish an
electrical storage project at the Irbid substation. The project is foreseen to be
designed, financed, constructed, commissioned, owned, and maintained by a
private Storage Developer, whereas NEPCO will operate/dispatch the project.
The electrical storage system to be completed by 2020 with at least 30 MW Import

and Export power, and 60 MWh useable energy capacity shall perform mainly the
following services:
1. Ramp-rate control of load and renewable power plants by AGC.

2. Reduction of conventional power plant operation necessary for spinning reserve
3. Short energy shift of otherwise curtailed renewable energy to times of peak
demands
4. Load peak shaving for a transformer substation
5. Reactive power supply for voltage control, including the dispatch of a reactive
power compensation equipment that is already installed on site
Further details of the storage utilization are provided with the duty cycle described
in Part I.2.6.3.2.
1.3 Project Milestones

The Storage Developer shall adhere to the following Project Milestones:

The monthly fixed payment PFm for the available Installed Power IP and Energy
Capacity EC shall be paid according to Schedule 9 Payment Mechanism of the
Storage Lease Agreement and shall cover the following costs (if applicable) of the
Storage Developer:
a) Capital Cost Component of ESS designed to comply with the Duty Cycle in
accordance with Section 2.6.3.2 of Part I while maintaining the guaranteed
Degradation. The Capital Cost Component shall cover for any debt service
payments, distributions to shareholders and taxes (if applicable), levies and
duties (if applicable) incurred for the initial investment in the equipment for the
ESS;
b) Fixed Operation and Maintenance Cost Component of the ESS to cover the
fixed costs for management, operation and maintenance;
c) Storage Developers return.
The monthly variable payment PVm for the exported energy from the Facility to

e) Variable Operation and Maintenance Cost Component to cover the variable
costs related to the storage capacity (if applicable);
The variable payment shall be paid for each kWh of Energy Export regardless of
the Duty Cycle.
2.6.3.2 Duty cycle for financial evaluation

A Duty Cycle representing the most likely utilization of an entire year will be used
for a techno-financial evaluation of the 30 MW ESS of each bidder. The bidders’
I-9
IRPP
ESS will be technically and financially evaluated on their Levelized Cost of Energy
Throughput (LCET) as defined below.
The Duty Cycle provided in the data room

(https://cloud.fichtner.de/index.php/s/CYDzbM1xloReOCf) is divided into the
required Storage Import/Export and the desired Storage Import/Export. The
required Storage Import/Export is derived from the necessary Ramp-Rate Control
of PV and Wind power plants and shall always have priority. The desired Storage
Import is derived from the renewable overcapacity and its resulting curtailment
based on the conventional power plant configurations. The desired Storage Export
is derived from the generation of peaking plants which shall be offset. The desired
Storage Import/Export will most likely exceed the capabilities of the ESS. Within
the evaluation each bidder shall present how much of the desired Storage Export
will be possible with their guaranteed figures.
2.6.3.3 Technical simulation of ESS with duty cycle

The Guaranteed Technical Specifications for the technical evaluation (in
accordance with Proposal Form D.7 are:
 Guaranteed Import and Export Power at COD

 Guaranteed Energy Capacity at COD
 Guaranteed Energy Capacity Degradation
 Guaranteed Storage Efficiency
All of these guaranteed technical parameters will be verified according to Schedule

10 Testing & Commissioning of the SLA. Any discrepancies between the
Guaranteed Technical Specifications of Proposal Form D.7 and the measured
values will result in Payment adjustments according to Schedule 9 Payment
Mechanism of the SLA.
The guaranteed efficiency is meant to represent all roundtrip ESS losses for
conversion, cables, transformers, auxiliary consumption and self-discharge.
The Guaranteed Technical Specifications of each bidder will be simulated with the
Duty Cycle for a 15-year period. The following assumptions are made for the
simulations:
 The Active Power Import and Export efficiency will be the square root of the
Guaranteed Efficiency and shall be equal and constant for simplification
purposes of the evaluation.
 Upper limit for desired Storage Energy Import shall be 5 MWh useable at the
POC representing 10 minutes of 30 MW for ramp rate control below the
maximum State of Charge. The upper limit of 5 MWh for the State of Charge
will be corrected with the charge efficiency.
 Lower limit for desired Storage Energy Import shall be 7.5 MWh useable at the
POC representing 15 minutes of 30 MW for ramp rate control above the
minimum State of Charge. The lower limit of 7.5 MWh for the State of Charge
will be corrected with the discharge efficiency.
 In case that:
 the required Storage Active Power Export force the State of Charge to
move below the lower limit,
 no further required Storage Active Power Export is necessary and
I-10
IRPP
 no desired Storage Active Power Import is present,

the Storage will charge with 3 MW until the lower limit is reached again.
 In case that:
 the required Storage Import forces the State of Charge to move above the
upper limit,
 no further required Storage Import is necessary and
 no desired Storage Export is present,
the Storage will discharge with 3 MW until the upper limit is reached again.
 The availability will be assumed with 100%.
 The starting State of Charge is 50% of the Energy Capacity at CoD.
 The value of the energy losses resulting from the guaranteed Efficiency being
below 100% will be calculated with the peaking plant generation costs of 100
JOD/MWh.
 The discount factor for payments and energy to calculate the LCET will be
assumed with 7%.
 The Energy Capacity at the beginning of each year will be used for the payment
calculation of the remaining days of the year as described in Schedule 9
Payment Mechanism.
Details of the technical calculation on a minute resolution basis can be reviewed in

sheet “ESS Simulation” in the file “ESS Jordan - Duty Cycle and LCET.xlsm” in
the data room (https://cloud.fichtner.de/index.php/s/CYDzbM1xloReOCf). Note
that the ESS Simulation shall serve for evaluation purposes only and might not
reflect the most accurate simulation results based on technology specific
characteristics.

3.4 Design Requirements
3.4.1 General
This Section 3.4 describes the minimum technical requirements and guidelines
for defining the technology and the design of the proposed Project.
In addition to the technical requirements of this Section, the selection of the

technology, the design of the ESS and the facility layout are determined by the
site conditions as described in Section 3.3 of Part II of the IRPP.
The ESS shall be designed, manufactured and configured in accordance with a

commercially proven design in such a way that the conversion of chemical
energy stored in the battery into AC electricity and vice versa is based on high
efficiency and achieves high availability and reliability of the ESS.
All parts of the ESS must be suitable in every respect for a maximum efficient
use of the Site under the anticipated operation conditions as well as the climatic
conditions and environmental restrictions which are characteristic for the Site.
All ESS equipment and systems shall be built to appropriate internationally

recognized standards and shall comply with all the applicable national codes
and statutory codes.
All design documents including layout, single line diagrams and technical
specifications of selected products are to be provided by the Storage Developer.
NEPCO reserves the right to have an assessment on the plant design and safety
carried out by an accredited certification organization. This assessment may be
carried out on the entire ESS or on parts of it. The Storage Developer agrees to
implement any changes required to reach the state of the art technology.
The Storage Developer shall ensure that the EPC Contractor and the EPC
Subcontractors utilize good engineering practices in preparing the design of the
Plant. Equipment proposed to be used by the Storage Developer and supplied by
the EPC Contractor and/or the EPC Subcontractors must be of new manufacture
and must be manufactured by reputable manufacturers with sufficient
experience of the particular equipment proposed.
The Storage Developer and the EPC Contractor, as well the EPC
Subcontractors, shall apply a well-established plant component classification
and identification system. The international SI system of units shall be used for
design, drawings, diagrams, instruments, etc.
3.4.1.1 Design conditions

The ESS shall be designed to withstand the most extreme ambient conditions to
which it may be subjected.
The Storage developer shall determine the design conditions and provide the
respective parameters in Proposal Form D.11:
II-9
IRPP
Climatic conditions
Storage Developer shall define the climatic conditions and especially the
ambient temperature conditions to be considered for the design and rating of the
Plant.
Seismicity:
The civil design shall take full account of the latest UBC/IBC rules and shall
observe any regional requirements of the concerned authorities.
The seismic zone shall be determined for earthquake design at Site.
Lightning:
The lightning protection design shall take into account national and
international norms and standards including risk evaluation of lightning strike
on the selected site.
3.4.1.2 Inspection and testing

Inspection and testing requirements for the Plant are described in Schedule 10
(Testing & Commissioning) of the draft SLA.
NEPCO shall have the right to have their representatives present during all
inspections and tests. The presence of NEPCO representatives during any
inspection or test (or waiver by NEPCO of their right to witness any inspection
or test) shall in no way relieve the Storage Developer of its responsibility for
supplying the equipment in accordance with the scheduled dates.
3.4.1.3 ESS sizing
The power of the converter shall be sized in a way that the minimum charge-
and discharge power of 30 MW can be achieved with a power factor of 0.95
leading and lagging at the POC (31.6 MVA) with redundancy and the forecast
inaccuracy margin. This means that if a block consisting of LV/MV transformer
and power converters is e.g. 2 MVA of converter power, the forecast inaccuracy
for the charge- and discharge power is 2% and the losses from converters to
POC are 3% in order to meet the minimum requirements 18 blocks (34 MVA +
2 MVA) need to be installed. The power converter power will ultimately
depend on the bidder’s assumptions for block sizes, losses and forecast
inaccuracies. Due to the maximum requirement of 30 MW for export and
import power at POC in the Duty Cycle which will be used for the Bid
evaluation as described in chapter Part I.2.6.3.2 no incentive is provided to over
dimension the storage power above the minimum requirement.
The Energy Capacity shall have 60 MWh taking into account discharge losses,
forecast inaccuracies and will be measured at POC according to Schedule 10 of
the SLA. There are no redundancy requirements on the storage energy capacity.
This means that if the discharge losses from the battery system’s maximum
capacity are e.g. 6% to POC and the energy capacity forecast inaccuracy is 5%
in order to meet the minimum requirements the battery system should have a
useable energy capacity of at least 67MWh. Any depth of discharge
II-10
IRPP
requirements must be taken into account for the sizing. Furthermore, the energy
capacity shall be designed to limit the expected annual energy capacity
degradation to 2%/a. The evaluation will provide an incentive for higher offered
energy capacities as the amount of desired energy import and export exceeds
the minimum energy capacity of 60 MWh by far. With a higher energy capacity
the amount of energy throughput can be increased and therefore lower LCET
could be achieved. The cost-benefit optimization of the energy capacity above
the required energy capacity will be left to the Storage Developers.
3.4.1.4 ESS Performance Model and Guaranteed Technical Specifications

The Storage Developer shall provide a performance model, complete with the
related data sheets of the selected main components (battery cell, power

 Environmental Monitoring Plan
It is expected that a true and complete copy of the EIA and related approvals are
available prior to Financial Close.
3.4.1.6 Selection of equipment and materials

Materials and equipment selected by the storage shall be proven adequate and
sufficient for the complete term of the ESS operation.
The Storage Developer shall carefully consider all corrosion and erosion
possibilities subject to the environment of the Site and nearby facilities and all
non-metallic materials in contact with distillate or potable water shall be
proven, tested and certified as suitable for its purpose by an internationally
recognized testing authority. Non-metallic materials shall also be resistant to
high UV exposure and high temperature operation regimes.
Components such as transformer enclosures, Power Converter enclosures,

cabinets, connectors, etc., shall be properly selected in order to guarantee the
protection against ingress of solid and liquid elements. Outdoor equipment and
structures shall be designed to resist physical and chemical attack due to
environment conditions, soil or groundwater.
3.4.1.7 Operational requirements

requirements:
 The ESS shall be operated with full compliance with the environmental
requirements, within the technical limits of the Plant.
 The ESS will be operated in accordance to the highest possible load
conditions shown in the Duty Cycle under Part I.2.6.3.2 of Part I.

equipment (such as remote reconnection of the MV switch and remote
synchronization systems) shall be operated in accordance with the relevant
grid characteristics.
 Full compliance with the specified conditions of the admissible air pollution,
provided in the Preliminary Environmental Report.
II-14
IRPP
 All ESS facilities and equipment shall be arranged and spaced sufficiently to

transmission code. However, Plant operation shall have no negative impact
on the system frequency.
 Planned maintenance of the ESS shall be carried out in accordance with the
equipment manufacturers suggested maintenance requirements and the
scheduling requirements of NEPCO. Normally, maintenance activities for
the ESS shall be planned to take place during low solar irradiation conditions
or at night.
 Redundant auxiliary transformers shall supply energy to power auxiliary
loads such as monitoring systems, HVAC, communication means and site
surveillance.
 Operation and maintenance schedules and management: The Storage
Developer is requested to provide information on his operation and
maintenance approaches for the ESS.
 The Storage Developer shall provide forecast about the available power and
energy capacity for charge- and discharge.
 The Storage Developer shall ensure that equipment used for ongoing ESS
performance monitoring shall at all times have a valid calibration certificate.
The Storage Developer shall provide the calibration certificates to NEPCO at
NEPCO’s reasonable request.
 The Storage Developer shall notify and alarm NEPCO, via SCADA, when
the number of failed or inadequately performing cells or other determined
conditions indicate that:
 Preventative maintenance should be performed to keep the ESS at the
specified performance levels.
 The ESS is in imminent danger of failing to meet specified performance
levels or potential safety hazards exist.
 The ESS can no longer meet the specified performance criteria or safety
hazards exist.
 In addition to the scheduling requirements mentioned in the grid-code, the
Storage Developer shall notify NEPCO 24 hours in advance of any
scheduled maintenance which limit the operation of the ESS facility.
3.4.1.8 Redundancy Concept

With regard to redundancy design, the following requirements are generally to
be taken into account:
 Any system except the MV switchgear that can cause a complete outage if
one (1) component fails shall be designed as redundant equipment and for
high reliability, ease of maintenance and quick system backup support.
 If a failure in an instrument or in a control component can directly or
indirectly cause the failure of the whole system, this component shall have a
redundancy factor.
 The trip or outage of any single item of equipment or any single item of
auxiliary equipment shall not affect the operation of the remaining
equipment; in other words, priority shall be given to stability of the electrical
grid system. The impact of the failure on ESS power shall be minimal and
shall not lead to the loss of the total ESS power.
II-15
IRPP
 The ESS has to be designed that the available rated power for import and
export is n+1 redundant. Under the condition of a failure of a single
transformer, a power converter, cable, battery cell rack, SCADA component
etc., the ESS shall still fulfill the required power of 30 MW at POC.
 The minimum Energy Capacity of 60 MWh does not require redundancy.
 The auxiliary transformer for auxiliary loads such as monitoring systems,
HVAC, communication means and site surveillance shall be n+1 redundant
 All gateways communication lines between ESS and the 33 kV/ 132 kV
Substation shall be redundant.
 The redundancy as described shall be guaranteed at any time, including
times where a portion of the ESS power and/or capacity are not available for
scheduled automatic or semi-automatic maintenance, e.g. for the calibration
of the State of Charge or State of Health
3.4.1.9 Electrical grid connection requirements

The ESS will be connected to the 33 kV/132 kV Irbid Substation at the 33 kV
busbars (BB). The ESS shall have two (2) 33 kV (BB1+BB4) busbar
connections connected to a new feeder at BB1 and an existing spare feeder at
BB4 of the NEPCO substation. The BB6 which shall be connected to BB1 shall
integrate roughly half of the Storage Power (15 MW) and the BB5 which shall
be connected to BB4 shall integrate roughly the other half of the Storage Power
(15 MW). Details of the connection and scope are shown in the tentative Single
Line Diagram below.
Metering shall be supplied in accordance to the latest version of the metering

code. The metering system will contain a main (grid operator) and a back-up
check meter (plant operator). An automatic transfer system (ATS) between
infeeds of two 33 kV half busbars (BB5 and BB6) and 33 kV coupling (BB5-
BB6) shall be foreseen.
The developer shall use install new feeders and install the necessary control,
relays, and panels within the Irbid Substation control room.

II-17
IRPP
The Connection Conditions for the ESS have to comply with the Grid Code and in
particular with the Technical Requirements and Evaluation of Grid Code
Compliance for Electrical Storage Systems connected to the high voltage level in
Jordan. The Connection Conditions as stated in the Grid Code, specify both the
minimum technical, design and operational criteria which must be complied with
by the Storage Developer as a user connected to the Transmission System and the
minimum technical, design and operation criteria with which NEPCO will comply
in relation to the part of the Transmission System at the connection side with the
ESS.
The Storage Developer shall provide the following for proposal submission stage:
 The Storage Developer shall indicate the method he intends to use for grid
compliance evaluation of the ESS as required under section 3.6.
 The Storage Developer shall state in his proposal in which formats he can
supply the ESS model. He shall indicate the methods used for the modelling and
model validation of the ESS grid behaviour.
The Storage Developer shall provide NEPCO with the following studies, done by a
third party approved by NEPCO, after proposal submission stage:
 Preliminary State Study and Detailed State Study (Steady State, Transient
Analysis and Power Quality Studies) as outlined in Schedule 17 of the SLA.
 Model of the Power Converters and ESS behavior on the grid (e.g. according to
FGW TR4 or a method providing similar certainty).
Consequently, the minimum technical, design and operational criteria shall enable
NEPCO to comply with its statutory and Transmission License obligations. The
Storage Developer is responsible to use, for their design, the latest edition of the
Jordanian Grid Code as published on the website of EMRC.
The Storage Developer shall approach NEPCO to coordinate the signal exchange
as well as the necessary hardware and consequently provide NEPCO with all
electrical data of the Plant according to the Grid Code.
The full compliance with the Grid Code shall be proven by electrical system
studies and investigations during project realization.
Furthermore, specific technical requirements of NEPCO, for connecting the

proposed Plant to the Grid and which shall be fulfilled by the Storage Developer
need to be considered. The Storage Developer is requested to coordinate directly
with NEPCO for handling and fulfilling the electrical grid connection requirements
as well as the requirements for settlement metering. The MV/ LV Transformer
connection configuration must be pre-approved by NEPCO, since this connection
may affect system protection at 33 kV level.
3.4.1.10 Standards and Codes

The Storage Developer shall ensure that the engineering, design, construction,
testing, etc. of all ESS components and their assembly, including all auxiliary
facilities and systems, are according to internationally recognized standards and

Safety and Environment (HSE) policy and associated procedures that will govern
Storage Developer’s actions at all times during the design preparation and
construction of the Project as well as during the operating phase of the ESS.
The Storage Developer shall carry out a comprehensive risk analysis considering
all hazards imposed by the ESS, e.g. via a HAZOP or FMEA study. The Storage
Developer shall indicate the method in his offer documents. The risk analysis shall
at least cover:
 Electrical risks
 Chemical risks

during the design preparation and construction of the Project as well as during the
operating phase of the ESS. The Storage Developer shall provide appropriate first
aid medical facility within the Site.
Where just and reasonable according to state of the technology, technological

safety measures shall be preferred over operational instructions of the personnel to
achieve any safety goal. This includes the concept that works under live voltage
may only be required where there are no reasonable safety measures to avoid these
works.
NEPCO has the right to evaluate the risk analysis and chosen countermeasures and
to carry out an independent assessment of the hazard countermeasure
implementation.
3.4.1.12.1 Incident containment

The ESS shall be designed so that a catastrophic failure of one ESS unit will not
cause any material damage to other ESS units or other components near the
affected unit.
The Storage Developer shall ensure that the ESS has a high level of fire protection
in accordance with an internationally accepted procedure on this topic, e.g. the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Codes such as NFPA 850.
There is no firefighting station nearby the ESS site that is capable to fight fires in
battery installations. Therefore, the Storage Developer shall demonstrate in his
offer how he intends to contain incidents. A passive method of incident
containment (e.g. structural or spatial separation) is preferred over an active
method (e.g. fire extinguishing system) only.
II-21
IRPP
Any leakage of liquids (e.g. oil, chemicals, cooling agents, water mixed with
hazardous materials) or solid materials hazardous for the environment shall be
contained within the ESS. The Storage Developer shall indicate in his offer what
materials may leak and how he will dispose of each leaked material after the
incident.
The Storage Developer shall indicate any equipment for firefighting and chemical
incident handling he intends to keep on site.
3.4.1.12.2 Environmental safety

The Storage Developer is fully responsible for the implementation of the required
countermeasures identified in the HSE analysis. This includes:
 Noise protection
 Protection against magnetic, electric and electromagnetic fields

responsibilities in carrying out the work, including commissioning and during the
Warranty Period. The Storage Developer shall ensure that he has prompt access to
the spares to avoid delay to completion, commissioning or loss of generation.

device at site.
3.4.1.14 Warranty and service strategy

The Storage Developer shall supply a written agreement at the proposal stage by
each of the major component suppliers stating that:
II-22
IRPP
 A service, maintenance and repair contract is available for this ESS project in
this location
 The spare part strategy covers the intended ESS lifespan
 The maximum guaranteed reaction time for the suppliers' specialists for remote
assistance
 The maximum guaranteed reaction time for the suppliers' specialists until
arrival on-site
These declarations shall at least cover:

 The Power Converter units
 The batteries including accessories
 The power transformers
 The MV switchgears
 The Enclosure
 The ESS I&C equipment
 Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and cooling equipment relevant for the
proper function of the ESS.
3.4.2 Functional requirements
The ESS must be able to

 export 60 MWh at an active power of 30 MW at the Point of Connection (POC)
when fully charged
 import 60 MWh at an active power of 30 MW at the POC when fully
discharged.
The precise test procedure for this requirement and all further requirements are
listed in the testing schedule. All ESS components including the grid connection
shall be designed to be able to fulfill all functional and non-functional requirements
of the ESS under all foreseeable ambient conditions.
During the lifetime of the ESS, the energy content of the ESS may deteriorate
according to the commercial schedule. However, the available active and reactive
power requirements remain constant during the energy storage lifetime.
The Storage Developer shall offer more than the tendered 30 MW of active power
as installed to provide redundancy of the power. This requirement is explained
more in detail in section 3.4.1.8. The Storage Developer may offer more than the
tendered 60 MWh Energy Capacity at any time of the ESS operation.
States of the ESS where the energy cannot be imported or exported at the nominal
power will not be counted into the energy capacity requirement. These states of
reduced export or import power could for example be caused by the need of
constant voltage phase when approaching the end of charge limit.
3.4.2.1 ESS service and operation
3.4.2.1.1 Energy shift and Automatic Generation Control

The ESS shall be able to realize active power set points received from the external
communication interface. This service may for example be used for energy shifting
II-23
IRPP
and Automatic Generation Control (AGC) services such as secondary frequency

response.
3.4.2.1.2 Primary frequency response (PFR)

In this mode, the ESS reacts to the locally measured frequency by the export of
active power in case of an under frequency and by the import of active power in
case of an over frequency. The frequency must be measured by the ESS according
to the measurement and metering requirements described in section 3.4.3.7. The
following parameters must be configurable separately for positive and negative
frequency deviations (i.e. asymmetrical droops must be possible):
 Nominal frequency
 Dead band
 Lower and upper frequency limit of the linear droop
 Lower and upper power limit of the linear droop
3.4.2.1.3 Ramp-rate control

In this mode, the ESS will reduce the active power ramps at the 33 kV or 132 kV
substation level.
The signal of the current active power ramp limit requirement and the current
power at the local transformer substation will be provided through a
communication interface by the NCC of NEPCO.
3.4.2.1.4 Peak shaving

In this mode, the ESS will use its capability to export and import active power to
limit the absolute power import or export at the 33 kV or 132 kV grid of the
substation. Especially, at times of a transformer failure or 132 kV line outages the
ESS shall provide the peak demand and therefore limit the 132 kV/33 kV
transformer or 132 kV transmission line load.
The signal of the current load power will be provided through a communication
interface by NEPCO.
For this mode, the ESS system must be available to receive active power
measurements via the I&C interface and through the active power metering
described in the section 3.4.3.6.6 of Part II.
Remark: the lower and upper active power limit may be positive or negative. For
example, the limits may be used to instruct the ESS to limit the active power at the
superordinated 132 kV grid to 90 MW or to keep the active power at the
superordinated 33 kV busbar less than 123 MW.
3.4.2.1.5 Reactive power supply

The ESS shall have reactive power compensation service to guarantee a power
factor of 0.95 lagging and 0.95 leading even at rated active power. Lower power
factors down to 0.4 shall be possible at lower active power. The reactive power
supply shall be available in all active power modes and configurable by:
II-24
IRPP
 Constant reactive power

 Constant power factor
 Droop between reactive power and voltage at the ESS POC (including the
possibility for a hysteresis)
 Droop between reactive power and voltage at the transmission grid connection
point
 Reactive power peak shaving mode at the transmission grid connection point
During times where the entire amount of active power export or import is not used,
the ESS shall be able to supply up to 15 MVAr of reactive power until the rated
apparent power of the ESS is reached.
The signal of the current reactive power at the transmission grid connection point
will be provided through a communication interface by NEPCO. The ESS SCADA
must be able to control and dispatch its own reactive power reserves as well as the
reactive power that can be supplied by the existing 40 MVar reactive power
compensation equipment at the substation.
3.4.2.2 ESS service control and supervision

The mode selection of the energy ESS services shall be selected through the
methods described in the section 3.4.3.6. The ESS must be capable to carry out
modes selected in real-time operation (i.e. continue to carry out the commands
received last) and in scheduled operation (i.e. to carry out a specified schedule
based on the local time).
The ESS must be able to carry out stacked services simultaneously. A sample
combination of these simultaneous services would be (see services description
below for better understanding):
 +15 MW of PFR export

 +15 MW of peak shaving power export to guarantee a lower transformer load at
the substation
 -20 MW of PFR import
 -10 MW of energy shift
The ESS must be able to carry up to five instances of each ESS service at the same
time. For example, a 10 MW set point schedule for active power export may be
active at the same time as a real-time command to export 15 MW of active power.
In all ESS services, the following global ESS parameters, each for active and
reactive power, must be independently configurable for each ESS service:
 Positive power limit

 Negative power limit
 Positive ramp rate limit (dP / dt or dQ / dt respectively)
 Negative ramp rate limit (-dP / dt or -dQ / dt respectively)
 Lower and upper energy boundary not to be exceeded.
If set, these parameters must override concurrent requirements from the modes.
II-25
IRPP
In the case of a reduction of available apparent power S at the ESS POC, it must be
possible to set the priority between active and reactive power to one of these
modes:
 Active power priority: In case of insufficient apparent power S at the ESS POC,
active power delivery is prioritized over reactive power delivery
 Reactive power priority: In case of insufficient apparent power S at the ESS
POC, reactive power delivery is prioritized over active power delivery.
3.4.2.3 Storage energy forecasting

The ESS shall be capable to forecast the available energies for active power export
and import at the POC.
These forecasts must be conservative, i.e. the forecasted available state of charge at
the rated ESS power may never exceed the actual energy that can be imported or
exported starting at this time. The ESS must always be capable to import or export
the forecasted energy or exceed the forecast. The forecasts may not reduce the
energy content by more than 5% of the contracted storage energy.
If no forecast or an inaccurate is provided to NEPCO the ESS will be regarded as

unavailable according to Schedule 9 Payment Mechanism of the SLA.
3.4.2.4 Operational strategy and loading profiles

NEPCO plans to operate the ESS with an available AC energy reserve of 7.5 MWh
to the end of discharge limit and 5 MWh the end of charge limit considering
charge-and discharge efficiencies each that will only be used for ramp-rate control
and therefore be accessed seldom. Refer to Part I.2.6.3.2 for further details of the
duty cycle.
The Storage Developer is encouraged to consider whether this operation window

may have a beneficial influence on his ESS lifetime.
The ESS must be capable to deliver its nominal apparent power at least two cycle
numbers per day (i.e. a 60 MWh storage should be capable of at least exporting
120 MWh per day). The design of the ESS must be capable to operate in full power
cycling for 24 hours each day.
During the ESS operation, the Storage Developer must fulfill these requirements.
3.4.2.5 Availability
In the case of the failure of one or more equipment the remaining portions of the
ESS shall continue reliable operation where this operation is feasible and safe.
3.4.2.6 ESS service speed and accuracy

The rise time T2 - T1 of the ESS to a given active and reactive power set point set
via the required methods must be below 1s for any given power step.
II-26
IRPP
The static accuracy determined 5 s after transmission of the step command to the
ESS must be 2% or better (as measured with the ESS measurements described in
section 3.4.2.1.2). The accuracy of the PFR provision must be 5% or better at any
moment where PFR is provided.
3.4.3 Particular requirements

and equipment. The below listed minimum particular requirements are considered
as overall guidelines and need to be detailed by the Storage Developers own EPC

7 Project Agreements
7.1 Draft Agreements

A draft of the Storage Lease Agreement (the “Draft Storage Lease Agreement”), a
draft of the Government Guarantee Agreement (the “Draft Government Guarantee
Agreement”) and a draft of the Transmission Connection Agreement (the “Draft
Transmission Connection Agreement”), together the “Draft Project Agreements”,
are included in Part III of the IRPP.
Developers are encouraged to provide clarification questions / comments on the

Storage Lease Agreement attached to this IRPP as part of the clarification rounds
as indicated in Section 1.3 of the General Introduction and Background.
Should the Storage Developer following such clarifications wish to propose any
adjustments to the Draft Storage Lease Agreement, these may be indicated by way
of track-changes to the documents and accompanied with a completed Proposal
Form G.1. However, it is emphasized that any proposed adjustments shall be
minimum in number and extent and shall not seek to address the risk sharing
principles incorporated within the attached Draft Storage Lease Agreement. Any
material changes to the Draft Storage Lease Agreement will render the Proposal to
be non-compliant.
The attached Government Guarantee Agreement has been approved by the

Ministry of Finance and shall be considered as final. Any changes to the Draft
Government Guarantee Agreement will render the Proposal to be non-compliant.
The same applies to the Draft Transmission Connection Agreement.
The Storage Developer must include in Section F of its Proposal
a) a statement that it accepts the Draft Project Agreements as included in Part III in
their entirety as part of the Proposal; or
b) a statement that it accepts the Transmission Connection Agreement and
Government Guarantee Agreement and a marked-up copy of the Draft Storage
Lease Agreement which clearly indicate all deletions or additions desired by the
Storage Developer to be made to such Draft Agreements. A completed Proposal
Form G.1 explaining the reasons for proposed revisions is mandatory.
II-50
IRPP
The Proposal will be evaluated, among other things, in respect to the extent of its
compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Draft Storage Lease
Agreement. Significant exceptions to this draft will render the Proposal to be non-
compliant. An exception is considered significant when it is in MEMR’s or
NEPCO’s opinion unreasonable, not in the best interest of the Project or results in
an unacceptable change in the risk allocation reflected in the Storage Lease
Agreement.
Negotiations of the Storage Lease Agreement will be limited to the specific

additions or deletions proposed by the Storage Developer.
7.2 Land Lease Agreement

The Land Lease Agreement will be entered into between the SPC and NEPCO
after signing of the Project Agreements and prior to Financial Closing. The LLA
shall establish
 that the SPC will be granted an exclusive long-term leasehold interest in the Site
for the duration of the Storage Lease Agreement;
 that the Term of the LLA may be extended in case of an extension of the
Storage Lease Agreement;
 shall be assignable to NEPCO in case of early termination of the Storage Lease
Agreement; and
 that the SPC reinstates all parts of the Site by expiry of the Land Lease
Agreement to a state which is comparable in all material respects to the state in
which the land owner has handed over the Site to the Storage Developer.
A Draft Land Lease Agreement is attached to this IRPP.
8 Miscellaneous
8.1 Permits and Licenses

It is the responsibility of the Storage Developer to obtain all Authorizations
necessary to implement and operate the Project and to ensure that the costs of such
Authorizations are included in its Proposal. The Storage Developer must be
familiar with the procedures and time frames required to obtain such

Proposal Form D.12: ESS SCADA Performance Evaluation
The Bidder shall carry out a simulation of the ESS operation with the following 24 hour profiles to
show the performance of his proposed solution and compliance with the functional requirements
according to Part II.3.4.2. Each service reserves a band for his operation in the following order. In
case of conflict, lower priorities are curtailed:
1. Primary Frequency Response

2. Ramp rate control and peak shaving
3. Automatic Generation Control (e.g. for Secondary Frequency Response and Energy Shifting)
For the simulation, the following data is given:
 Frequency profile and setting for Primary Frequency Regulation (PFR)

 Ramp rate limit at the transformer substation (empty values mean no limit)
 Peak power limit at the transformer substation (empty values mean no limit)
 AGC Schedule for ESS services
The following must be observed for the simulation:
 All powers are in generator system: Export / Generation / Discharge is positive; Import /
Consumption / Charging is negative
 The storage developer shall fill out all fields marked in blue
 The simulation shall be based on typical ambient conditions for a day in December at the given
location. The storage developer shall indicate the minimum and maximum ambient temperature
he has considered
 The active power profile shall include the losses and auxiliary consumption of the ESS
 Initial state of the ESS shall be the ability to provide 60 MWh of Energy export at nominal
power (i.e. fully charged)
 Nominal grid frequency is 50.000 Hz
The profiles can be found in the file “ESS Jordan - SCADA Performance Test.xlsx” room:
https://cloud.fichtner.de/index.php/s/CYDzbM1xloReOCf
The Bidder shall provide the active power input and output, forecast and all major signals the
SCADA should provide to NEPCO in operation of the ESS and a description of the software and
methodology used for the simulation. The results shall be provided under Sheet “Bidder Results” of
“ESS Jordan - SCADA Performance Test.xlsx”.
Remarks:
 The given schedule does not represent the intended duty cycle for continuous operation and
shall not be used for battery aging considerations
 The given parameters for the ESS services do not represent the actual format and extent of the
parameters that will be given by NEPCO in actual operation.
 The reactive power control is not part of this simulation, but will be part of the testing at later
project stages
