Important 1nputs to the preparatl0n of the procurement package resulted from an 1ndustr1al br1efing held at NASA Lewis on July 8-9, 1980. Invited to th1S br1ef1ng were all companies that m1ght have an 1nterest 1n the Redox system as a bus1ness opportun1ty. Approx1mately 75 representatives from 60 companies attended. These representatives were given, 1n great detail, the present Redox state of the art and projectlons for system costs and for expected technology advances. Also presented were the structure and the goals of the anticipated contractual effort. The compan1es represented at the industrlal br1ef1ng ranged in size from the very small to the very large. The comments, quest1ons, and concerns of the attendees were of great value during the subsequent preparation of the Redox procurement package. Th1S procurement 1S to initiate a phased approach to achieving the transfer of Redox technology to industry and eventual commerc1alizat1on by 1ndustry. To date, the only lndustr1al involvement w1th the NASA Lewis Redox project has been developmental research on membranes and electrodes by lonics, Inc., and Giner, Inc., respect1vely, and the supply of graphite and carbon b1polar plates by several companies. Phase I of this procurement will encompass the design, fabrication, and test1ng of two multikilowatt preprototype systems; the preparat10n of a mult1kilowatt commercializat1on plan; a conceptual megawatt Redox system des1gn; and the conceptual design of a 100-kW submodule as the basic element of the megawatt system. On the basis of the results of the Phase I activi- ties, a decis10n w1ll be made whether or not to 1nitiate Phase II and one or more contractors will be selected to continue with Phase II. Figure 4 presents the maJor m1lestones and schedule relat1ng to Redox system pro- duct10n and test1ng for both phases of the contract program as planned in 1980. Phase II w1ll encompass the des1gn, fabr1cat1on, and test of proto- type mult1k1lowatt systems; the des1gn, fabr1cation, and test of preprototype 100-kW submodules; the design and fabr1cation of a megawatt system for test in the BEST facillty; a commercialization plan for megawatt Redox systems; and a commercializatlon approach for the multlkilowatt Redox system. The actual production of systems slzed up to the 1-MW level will provide manufacturing cost data that will perm1t much more precise forecasts of the costs of Redox storage. The testing of these systems 1n realistic environ- ments w1ll prove the technical and econom1C v1ab1l1ty of Redox storage and prov1de the operating exper1ence needed for further system improvement. The contract is planned to be a 52-month effort. ThlS 1ncludes 28 months to complete Phase I and 24 months to complete Phase II. Phase II, however, is optional and ltS lmplementat10n will depend on achieving a suc- cessful Phase I actlv1ty based on the following criterla: (1) Performance of the 10-kW Redox system (2) Multikllowatt Redox commerClalization plan (3) Megawatt Redox storage system conceptual design (4) 100-kW Redox module design for megawatt system applications (5) Project management (6) Phase II project development plan Figure 5 shows the task sequence for the total program. 6PDF Image | NASA Redox Storage System Development Project 1980
