Survey of DTCs for condition assessment, tracking etc., to MESCOM.

SW 2.0 INTRODUCTION:

Distribution Transformers represent one of the key elements in the Electricity Network &

can become strategic bottleneck in the power distribution process. Distribution Transformers

Management Software (DTMS) brings all the elements of the DTCs & their assessments into

the system for achieving failure free operation & life-time extension of the assets. DTMS

involves GIS based mapping of all assets with the images taken for conditional assessments

resulting in achieving goals of distribution system & way forward to Online Distribution

Transformer Monitoring. DTMS shall have vital role in Distribution Transformers Life Cycle

Management System as scope of the project.

MESCOM wishes to introduce the best-practiced processes & techniques in Distribution

Transformer Management for its Electrical assets. For improving the maintenance & tracking

of Distribution transformers, MESCOM wishes to use a Web enabled centralized solution with

security features. The new technology and practices in the area of TRANSFORMER

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM should enable the MESCOM to achieve the objectives of operation

efficiency, tracking of transformers with GIS, conditional assessment of the Distribution

transformer center, maintenances of DTCs & updation of DTRs and DTC‟s in work flow

automation in respect of O & M functions.

The project will be implemented & operated through MESCOM‟s Data Centre Only. The

Distribution Transformer Management software should be a centralized web based solution

accessible from all the Offices of the MESCOM on existing network.

Currently no IT solution is present in MESCOM to manage distribution transformers. The

proposed DTMS solution will be used to bring the DTC assets & their conditional assessments

into the online system. DTC Code & DTR Codes are assigned; images are captured & GIS

Survey is done to locate the assets. Conditional assessment of all DTC equipment/accessories

is done during GIS Survey.

The intention of the system is to increase the life-cycle of transformers, decrease the

failure rate of transformers, conditional monitoring of DTCs, maintenance scheduler,

accounting of DTCs & DTRs etc. Requirement specifications/statements in this document are

both functional & non-functional.

SW 12.2 Reliability & Robustness:

The system should be available at all times (24 x 7) except for monthly maintenance of

not more than 10 minutes. The system backup onto a second server will be performed during

the maintenance time as well as once daily (at midnight) & system recovery will only be

executed as necessary. In addition, it should be able to have the provision to meet the

requirement to help recover in the event of hardware failure, if secondary server is present.

SW 12.3 Verifiability:

All critical transactions will be recorded in a separate table in order to allow for auditing

the database system, such that all suspicious records may be easily tracked and the

appropriate record double-checked as necessary. The audits must be performed by an

authorized user, with special privileges granted to allow visibility of the auditing function and

associated records in the database.

SW 12.4 Performance:

All pages should be loaded within three seconds or less, assuming a broadband

connection on the client side. Therefore, response time for transactions will be three seconds

or less. The system should support as many as 500 online users simultaneously with negligible

response delay.

SW 12.5 Portability & Interoperability:

As a web-based application, the system will support the latest version of the majority of

browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari, as well as common mobile

operating systems (Android, Windows, iOS, etc.). In addition, the system should be easily

migrated to other platform in case of hardware failure in both servers.

SW 12.6 Security:

Only authorized users will be permitted to access the system. The system will provide

additional security means to protect itself from automated attacks by using methods such as

“CAPTCHA” when processing login requests in special cases (when the user has elevated

privileges, or when a user repeatedly attempts to login without success). The system will

provide the users with a secure way to change their passwords, whether when initializing a

new account or by user request. If requested, we will upgrade the system to use the HTTPS

protocol in subsequent iterations in order to prevent unauthorized third-party viewing of the

contents, though the university would be responsible for providing the proper certificates in

such a scenario.

SW 12.7 Maintainability:

The standardized design and implementation documents will be provided in order to

maintain the system. All changes will be documented. A standard architecture will be

applied and therefore the system should be easy expandable, allowing for quick evolution of

the software to adapt to possible situations in the future. In addition, these documents should

allow third parties to be consulted should the inventory system exhibit abnormal behavior.

SW 13.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT OF DTMS SOFTWARE:

The Service Provider should implement robust framework by keeping in mind the

importance of DTMS software. The DTMS application will be integrated with the existing ERP,

R-APDRP, Enumeration of IP sets, CCC & DTCs on GIS, ERP of DTCs on GIS, Feeder Master

Data Management (MDM), Total Revenue Management Application & any other related

Page 40: MANGALORE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY COMPANY …e) Specifications: Specification shall mean collectively all the terms & stipulations contained in those portions of the bid document & such

Page 39 of 63

newly developed / changed software in MESCOM to get the related data. The framework is

structured in three layers:

a) Presentation Layer

This layer is responsible for interacting with the users. This layer comprises of the GUI

screens that act a media for accepting & validating the input data, for depicting required

information, for showing reports etc. This layer should bring a clear separation between the UI

design & the underlying business logic. The presentation layer should be designed in such a

way that any customization / changes in the UI design will not have an impact on the

business logic or vice versa.

b) Business Layer

All the business processes of the application should be addressed through the number

of components, entities, agents & interfaces in the business layer consisting off:

i. Business Components - Business components are the software realization of business

concepts. They are the primary units of design, implementation, deployment,

maintenance & management for the life cycle of the business application. Business

components encapsulate the business logic, also called business rules.

ii. Business Entities - Business entities are data containers. They encapsulate and hide

the details of specific data representation formats. The changes to the underlying

data formats will not affect the data consumers.

iii. The external system like Billing & CIS will be integrated at this level using custom

integration components.

c) Data Access Layer

The business components can access the data available in the data repositories only

through the data layer. The data layer consists of Data Access Components. Data access

components available in this layer are responsible for exposing the data stored in the

databases to the business layer. These components isolate the business layer from the details

of the specific data storage.

d) Integration Gateway

The Service Provider shall use/integrate with MESCOM‟s existing gateways such as Email

to send out alerts & notifications. The online users will receive an e-mail notification with the

transaction details (DTRs Repairs/maintenance/store transactions etc). The Service Provider

will have to develop the required interfaces for user & business layer to get integrated to SMS

& emails. Service Provider shall procure, install & implement the SSL Web Server certificates for

online security.
