Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Supply Advanced Metering Infrastructure under Design, Build, Operate and Transfer Model for Eedc

Objective:
1. Establish an authentic ‘single source truth- of metering data for EEDC.
2. To achieve minimum 98% Meter communication with the AMI platform and 100% data availability.
3. Stability and Availability of AMI services across EEDC
4. Scalability of the platform to meet EEDC expected customer growth.
5. Integration with EEDC-s Prepaid Vending platform (ie., JUICE), Postpaid Billing Platform, Customer Relationship Management System (CRM i.e., ODOO) and other business applications such as GIS, OMS, NERC platform to achieve optimum business process automation.
6. Identify the customers who exceed their prepaid credits for some reasons to control loss of revenue to EEDC
7. Provide visibility and diagnose non-communicating meters to get full benefits from the investment into smart meters.
8. Remotely recharge prepaid credits and support customers for addressing any issues like reconnect into the meters.
9. Provide the various reports/alerts of meter malfunction, tampers and/or bypass to protect the revenue of EEDC.
10. Leverage the huge data being collected from the smart meters by way of providing visual analytics and reports.

EEDC invites prospective bidders to show their intent to implement a best of the breed AMI solution covering, but not limiting following scope;
1. Detailed business requirements analysis of EEDC for customer base of 2 million.
2. Design, architect, supply, customize, migrate, integrate, configure, install, test, commission, operate for 3 months, training, system handover, post-handover warranty and support a robust AMI system to meet the objectives of EEDC as stated in the earlier section.
3. The intended AMI system should typically cover -
a. Head End System (HES)-to acquire the meter data from EEDC-s existing and future breed of meters.
b. Communication, Communication Monitoring and Diagnosis - to provide Network Communication Monitoring Module for online monitoring of meters communication (success/unsuccess) and facilitate diagnosis of the cause of non-communicating meters.
c. Meter Data Management System (MDMS)-to maintain and treat the acquired meter data as per standard utility practices and EEDC needs. This meter data must be useful for postpaid billing, prepaid customers, and revenue protection analytics & energy audit.
d. Dashboard, Analytics, Business Intelligence and Reports- to depict various dashboards, analysis and generate Feeder/District/Corporate level reports for routine usage (Collection of energy-flow data from metering module, Calculation of Bus bar and transformation losses, Calculation of high tension network losses, Calculation of AT&C losses, Performance of revenue report etc) and revenue protection.
e. Migration: Migration of all historical meter data and communication from existing platforms to proposed AMI platform
f. Integration-integration with EEDC-s existing and future breed of meters, prepaid vending system, postpaid billing platform, CRM, CMS, GIS, OMS, NERC (Regulatory) Platform and other systems
g. Cyber security: design, supply and implement cyber security for the proposed solution
h. High Availability: proposed Architecture shall have adequate redundancies so as to have no single point of failure for the solution. The solution tier for critical application should consist minimum of two nodes clustered on a fall-over configuration for the critical components like web, application and database servers at the Data center site. On failure of the primary application server, the “failover” server shall take over processing, similarly on failure of a database server, the other server shall continue seamlessly, thus providing the desired availability.
AMI applications shall have the capability to failover to a redundant or secondary unit upon failure of the primary unit. Likewise, the load on the primary unit shall be shared with a secondary unit upon the primary unit reaching its capacity.
i. Deployment: deploy the intended solution on EEDC-s public cloud platform. The AMI implementing partner shall design a reliable, interference free & robust GPRS communication network (2G/3G/4G/5G and NB lot) keeping in view the site conditions. It shall be flexible in terms of providing communication in variable terrain & urban density.
During designing suitable consideration shall be kept for future expansion as per requirement of EEDC Before designing the communication network, the AMI Implementing Partner shall do the site survey. The ‘As-is- and ‘To-Be- system reports shall be submitted to EEDC for approval. The operational testing of all the network elements must be demonstrated by the bidder to the satisfaction of EEDC.
4. The proposed AMI platform shall facilitate field management and Integration with but not limited to
a. New meter Installation/New meter connection,
b. Change of Meter (Faulty/Complain),
c. Removal of Meter (Termination of connection) etc.
5. The solution must be compliant to industry accepted standards in terms of protocol technology web interface, performance, security etc. 6The AMI Platform shall be able to integrate with GIS to bring visibility to field operations using our already mapped network.
6. The AMI platform shall be able to transmit Energy readings to a third party, from our feeder meters and auto closer meters
7. The AMI Platform shall be able to detect energy imbalance at injection substations and Distribution transformer meters.
8. The AMI platform shall be able to transmit outage information and voltage profile from various injection substations and distribution substations.
9. The AMI Platform shall be able to communicate with present and future breeds of meters, which is a key success factor to this project. As such the scope invariably includes to integrate all the existing and future breed of feeder meters, distribution transformer meters and customer meters. Currently EEDC has 400, 000 smart meters of MOJEC, AEMS, PROTOGY, MBH, ITRON, and EDMI make installed, which is set to Increase up to 2 Mn. The details of these meters shall be provided by EEDC
10. The scope also covers setting up and testing of the solution on EEDC-s DR site.
11. The scope also covers 1-year post-handover warranty and 3 years of support covering but not limited to-bug fixing, repairs, maintenance, updates, and change management of the entire system.
12. Alert/Exception Management-Ability to capture and log data exceptions, problems, and failures and to generate management reports, provide trend analysis, automate generation of service requests, and track corrective actions. Ability to group, prioritize, filter, and send system generated alarms and events to predetermined email addresses, cellular text messages to phone numbers/SMS/customer care etc.
