3.2 Tests/Inspection
NREDCAP/TPIA (Reputed Third Party Inspection Agency) may get inspection of material
done at the works of the Contractor including sub-supplier prior to its dispatch to site. TPIA
charges are to be borne by contractors only.
The scope of work covered in this tender shall be as specified in the Section-I and as

6.2 PRE-CONDITIONS
a. The Contractor gives the Performance guarantees (specified herein) for the WTGs, subject to
the following precondition being fully satisfied.
b. The NREDCAP has engaged the services of NIWE to vet the demonstrated power curve
(energy generation) results of the selected WTGs at site conditions in accordance with
the method described below:
a. NREDCAP and Contractor shall jointly decide one designated turbine for the purpose of
power curve measurement.
b. Contractor shall install a wind mast (of height equal to the hub height of the above turbine)
near the above turbine location at a distance between 2-2.5d (d-Rotor Diameter). This mast
shall record wind data at height same as the hub height of the turbine and shall be taken as
reference data for the purpose of power curve verification. This mast will be maintained at
the site for till the end of power curve generation test completed.
d. The CPC shall then be applied to the above wind speed distribution to arrive at the gross
expected energy generation (“GEEG’). The following factors shall then be applied on the
GEEG to arrive at the net expected energy generation (‘NEEG’).
i. The air density correction factor will be applied on certified power curve.
ii. Array losses will be calculated by software for test period and applied.
iii. Grid availability during test period
iv. Machine availability during test period.
v. Uncertainty factors in terms RSS, of 3 % for wind measurement and 5 % for power
curve will be applied in the calculations.
a. The NEEG thus arrived shall be verified against actual energy generated by the turbine as
recorded by the machine meter in the control panel. If the actual generation as recorded by the
machine meter is equal to or above 95% of the NEEG, then the turbine is deemed to have met
with the power curve guarantee.
In an event the actual generation by the test WTG is lower than 95 % of generation as per certified
power curve, the contractor shall compensate M/s NREDCAP as per the details given in the
tender document.
6.4 The annual energy output in kWh shall be evaluated and validated by M/s. NIWE.
6.6.1 Failure to Attain Power Curve Generation Guarantee (PCGG) on total plant.
6.6.1.1 For any shortfall in PCGG during the warranty/defects liability period, the liquidated
damages not by way of penalty shall be recovered from Contractor as described below:
a. For failure to achieve the estimated power generation as per power curve & wind data as
per wind mast, liquidated damages (not by way of penalty) of 1% of Contract Price shall be
The PG Parameters and Compensation for failure to achieve PG Parameters during O&M
period including free O&M period of 2 months of stabilization period from the date of
commissioning shall be as detailed hereunder.
(i) 0.5% of contract price for works for every 0.5% (or part thereof) shortfall in actual
generation than guaranteed 95%.
(ii) an amount @ 2% of the annual O & M service charges for every 0.5% of shortfall
below 95% of machine availability.
"MACHINE AVAILABILITY" shall mean the ratio of actual number of annual hours for
which the WTG are in. a state of complete readiness to generate Power subject to the Grid
availability, wind availability and all other parameters referred hereunder, to the total number
of hours available annually (i.e. 8760 Hours). Machine Availability shall be calculated as
follows.
a. If the machine availability is less than the guaranteed value, an opportunity will be given to
the Contractor to repair/modify the equipment within 2 months. In case the availability is
not achieved subsequently, then the Contractor shall be liable for
payment of damages of the loss of income @ prevailing power purchase rate, due to loss in
generation on account of lower machine availability below the quoted machine availability
figure. The base value for computing estimated loss in generation shall be the power
generation as per power curve generation guarantee & wind data as per wind mast, the
machine availability quoted & actual machine availability achieved.
b. If MAF is less than 95% in any WTG during the period under Operation & Maintenance
contract, the Contractor shall compensate the NREDCAP as computed below, for the
shortfall in availability factor for those WTGs having shortfall.
The Contractor shall provide efficient transformers and associated electrical systems for
limiting the losses from the WTG controllers to the metering point of EB. The internal
losses on monthly basis shall be less than 3%.
If in any month, the internal losses are more than 3%, then the contractor shall compensate
the NREDCAP for the additional internal losses at the prevailing EB tariff.

Technical and commercial evaluation of the Tenders will be carried out for the
eligible Contractors on the basis of completeness and conformity with respect to the
tender requirements. The Price part (Section-VIII) of the tender will be opened only
for the Contractors who are found technically and commercially eligible.
The Price offer will be evaluated on the basis of Cost per kWh calculated as per
details given below for arriving at the lowest bid.
Sl. No
Particulars Rs.
1. Total Cost (Rs.) of Wind Energy Generator equipment as
quoted in Sl.No.2 of Summary of Price Offer.
The WAsP model 11.0 /Windsim/Meteodyn will be used for generating the spatial wind
environment of the Region of Interest
The inputs supplied by the bidder after due validation & verification will be used for energy
estimation.
Actual details of the terrain characteristics will be collected during the visit to the site and its
surroundings.
When wind energy estimations are to be made, potential sources of energy losses must be
considered on a site specific basis. Specific source of energy losses other than those associated
with wake effects are described below. Table 1 gives standard correction factors in the annual
energy estimation. P50 values arrived with respect to standard correction factors. Corrections
will also be made with Rugged Indices where slope is more than 30 % with reference to
reference mast(if WAsP Software is used). If the proposed site is in and around another wind
power plant, additional wake effects of 3-8 % will be taken in to the account. If the contractors
provides the wind power plants co-ordinates in and around the proposed site, the actual wake
loss will be taken for computation. The surrounding turbine co-ordinates will be verified by the
consultant, accordingly the wake loss will be taken for computation.
The uncertainty analysis is an important part of any assessment of the long-term energy production
of a wind power plant. The uncertainty of a production estimate is very dependent on the local wind
climate, the topography, the data acquisition system, the period of data collection, the limitations of
the software used for the estimation and power curve. To give an exact estimate of the uncertainty
is not possible. Uncertainty factor as per the site(an uncertainty Factor of 0.5% will be taken for
every 1km in a homogeneous beyond 5km and 0.5% for every 500m in complex terrain. Apart from
this, 1% will be taken for every 10m if the measurement height is not the height of hub).
However probable uncertainty factors for proposed wind power plant have been estimated and
taken into account while fixing up the generation levels. Details are given in the Table 2.
The energy estimation from given number of machines will be generated from the micro-siting
details supplied by the bidder after verifying all inputs. The generation details will be given for
entire machines with different confidence levels (P50, P75, P90 and P95) P75, P90 and P95 will be
derived with uncertainty factors.
It is recommended to consider park average only for any decision as uncertainties would be
more in selecting individual machine.
