PROVN OF PREPAID SMART METER IN OTM MD ACCN AND MD ACCN OF OFFRS JCOS AND OR AT DHANA MIL STN

Design, Installation, Testing, Commissioning, & Integration of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) for Dhana Military Station under AGE I Dhana under AOR of CWE Bhopal comprising of the following:- (a) Perform site survey for designing the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system network based on GPRS/RF/RF Mesh/Hybrid with various analysis tools for selection of particular type of Smart prepaid Meters, (Single phase/Three phase, RF/cellular) location of DCU & repeater panel for RF/RF mesh meters duly considering the maximum strength of signal reception, network performance & optimum reliability for replacement of existing 722 Nos of meter at different locations in Dhana Mil Station with smart prepaid meters confirming with IS: 16444: 2015(reaffirmed 2020) with communication technology based on GPRS/RF/RF Mesh/Hybrid reqd for functionality of the system. The system shall be designed in such a way that additional metering infrastructure subsequently required upto 25% additional may be added to it. (i) Communication network proposed in design shall provide reliable medium for two-way communication between various nodes (Smart meter, Gateway/Router/Access Point/ DCU (wherever applicable) & HES. (ii) RF based network proposed shall frequency band as permitted by WPC. The engagement of network service provider is in the scope of the bidder to meet the performance level. (iii) Meter data shall be routed/ collected by field devices like Gateway/ router/Access Point, Data Concentrator Units (DCUs) wherever applicable given the communication technology used and transported to HES through WAN backhaul connectivity. Note:- (i) The entire system design given by bidder incl various type of Smart Meters, DCUs, repeater unit , communication network and CSP etc be got approved from the Stn HQ by GE prior to accord of approval for execution of work. (ii) The bidder shall design/hire reliable, interference free & robust communication network. It shall be effective for providing communication in terrain, topology & the consumer density of the project site. (iii) The network solution deployed by the bidder shall have disaster recovery mechanism in place.

SI No. 2 Contd... (iv) A suitable NMS shall be built to monitor the performance of the communication network round the clock. The NMS shall provide viewing of all the networking elements deployed at site and enable configuration & parameterization of the networking devices and the nodes. (v) The network shall have all requisite adequate Cyber Security measures. The network security would be extended to all the interfaces also. The security may cover the following: (aa) Secure Access Controls (ab) Authorization Controls (ac) Logging (ad) Hardening (ae) Malicious Software Prevention (af) Network Security (ag) Device Security
