Our robust understanding in power distribution sector
The growing economy and increased expectations of citizens has, undeniably, put a pressure on the servicing departments to meet their demands effectively and timely. New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) besides providing basic municipal services also provides electric and water services to its citizens. Globally private sector companies have extensively adopted information technology to increase their efficiencies and to reduce the cost of servicing their customers. This has increased the level of expectations of the citizens and today they demand the same level of services from the Government departments as they receive from the private sector companies. They consider better services from the Government department as their right against the tax that they pay to the central and state governments. In order to serve its citizens better and to meet the expectations of the citizens, NDMC has taken up an ambitious project of automation of power distribution network. The project on one hand would help NDMC improve its service delivery and strengthen, systematically augment, plug in revenue leakages and reduce overall losses on other hand. This technical proposal is in response to the request for proposal (RFP) floated by NDMC. We consider it our privilege to participate in this bidding process and we believe that this association would help NDMC create benchmarks for other Government departments.

Our understanding of power distribution organization is it is decentralized in its operations and centralized in its decision making. The corporate decisions are taken from the information that is generated at the field offices. Majority of the information is generated at sub division stage which moves through various administrative offices to the Head Office. The organization depends heavily on the data / information that is generated at the field offices for taking corporate / strategic decisions. Therefore, we also emphasize heavily on the quality of information generated at the sub division level, i.e., at the source itself. The information from the computer system is based on GIGO philosophy, which also brings us back to the same point that information collected at the sub division (source point) has to be accurate, and complete to take informed and right decision.
Page 17
The main source for data generation is a sub division office and we request NDMC officials that the focus of the project implementation be at sub division offices. The historical data that is available in digital or manual form needs to be migrated into the
Technical Proposal to NDMC Understanding of business requirements proposed system. The digital data will be migrated through our data migration strategy (proposed separately) and the manual data would be digitized through data digitization strategy. We are aware that the project does not involve implementation of software as per the tender specifications but installation of necessary hardware at data center, creation of disaster recovery site, creation of test and development environment, creation of network and security infrastructure and most importantly change management. The technical infrastructure for wide area network, customer care center, disaster recovery site all requires meticulous planning and thoughtfully defined bill of material. We, as a technology organization, believe that this can not be done unilaterally and requires continuous discussions and reference citations to protect the investment. We are submitting this technical proposal with high level requirements keeping all the requirements in mind so that project success is ensured. It is not possible to define all the requirements at this stage and we propose to have joint interactions with your management and IT personnel to finalize other business requirements for successful implementation of the project.

Integration with Data Collection Systems Loading Usage and Event Interfacing with the metering head end systems that includes traditional systems and AMI/smart meters that employ two way communication infrastructures. The communication comprises of receiving usage and events as well as calling two- way commands like on-demand readings, remote connects, remote disconnects, etc. Oracle MDM has been integrated via Product integration or implementation configuration for systems such as Echelon, Elster, TWACS (Aclara), MV-90, Cellnet Issuing AMI Commands Two way commands to control remote meters. The capabilities vary of the meters and AMI head system varies and most providers provide the two commands such as
Demand reading, Remote connects Remote disconnects
The solution has the capability to issue AMI commands from the meter screens. The MDM component determines the specific AMI commands to call and provides the response from the Ami system.
Page 17
Technical Proposal to NDMC Our Solution Issuing a Command from a Meter Screen Validating, Editing, and Estimating Meter Data MDM has long list of validating, editing and Estimating (VEE) rules and are applicable to standard three types of meters Consumption / Scalar Interval / Time series meters Time of Use (TOU)
The VEE is assigned to User type validation groups. The validation groups are then assigned to meter configuration records. This allows VEE rules to be applied to one or more meters. Users are also allowed to assign tolerance levels, parameters and exception codes for each VEE rule.
Assigning Validations and Validation Groups Standard Validation Page 17 MDM has prebuilt rules. That is included in the library. Example Critical Rules o Usage for inactive meters Consumption (Scalar) Meter Types o Fill Missing Start Time and

Estimation The use of historical values for filling the missing data for consumption readings is included as pre built methods for estimations. The additional estimation methods and rules can be configured. Event and Exception Management This functionality enables the user to view the meter events such as outage, theft etc., usage exceptions and process errors. The application automatically route these errors to work queues for manual resolution. The event resides in MDM tables and has the possibility for generating work queues for user interaction. Work Queues functionality is a product component intended for manual work assigned to a user or group of users. The user is also provided with hints and workflow to assist in accessing information. An example of this would be when viewing a Work Queues hint for a usage spike failure; the user is taken to an interval data editor for that meter reading. There the user would have the option to change the data. Once the data is corrected (or not), the user will have the option to re-validate the reading or approve (verify) the reading with no further validations. In addition to exception management, the Work Queues functionality provides approval capabilities. Work Queues/Approvals allow problems to be directed to the Confidential and Proprietary of Vayam Technologies Limited Page 17

Usage Error Hint Results Screen Outage and Restoration Events There are events other than events of MDM that must be processed by other systems. A major set of these events is outage and restoration events. The MDM is configured to route these kind of messages to Outage or Network Management. In this way the Outage systems begin using meter level events in their outage Processes. These events also play an important role in the smart grid operations including switching operations. Bill Determinants and Dynamic Tariffs Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management can implement virtually any billing determinant rule including Time of Use (TOU), Critical Peak Pricing (CPP), and net metering using Oracle Utilities Rules Language. Oracle Utilities Rules Language, a scripting language, can be applied differently to different meters based on any meter attribute or rate schedule. Tariff information can be associated to accounts and the software can calculate bill determinants based on the available metering data for downstream billing systems. This reduces the impact that advanced metering deployment and the use of more complex and dynamic tariff may have on customer care and billing systems. Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management can also be used in conjunction with Oracle Utilities Billing Component software (separately licensed) to provide a comprehensive billing and metering data management solution. Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management and Oracle Utilities Billing Component software share common databases, rules repository, web screens, security, and reporting infrastructure providing a tightly integrated solution. The software can also be configured to provide billing interfaces to other systems including Customer Information Systems (CIS). Confidential and Proprietary of Vayam Technologies Limited

It then automatically generates a service request as an outbound event or message that can then be sent to the appropriate internal system or systems. Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management can also be configured to generate service orders based on business logic to help eliminate unwarranted field service calls. This logic may be based on numbers of occurrences over a period of time, severity of the error, or other business reasons. Web Presentment Confidential and Proprietary of Vayam Technologies Limited Page 17
Technical Proposal to NDMC Our Solution In numerous marketplaces, sharing consumer usage information is a key driver for deployment of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The goal is to alter consumers energy usage behaviour by shifting their high- energy activities to periods when demand is lower. This potentially also promotes a more conservative consumer. When consumers understand how they use energy and when it is more cost effective to do so, they will ideally use less energy when financially motivated. In most cases, utilities want to show customer usage on their existing portal along with billing data, rate information, and payment information from their Customer Information System (CIS). To address this, Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management provides web services that can be used to present usage and other Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management data on the clients portal. Web services APIs allow portals and presentment tools easy access to the data without having to replicate the data in their repository. The Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management web services include security to prevent unauthorised access to the data. Revenue Protection Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management also provides functionality to track and manage both tamper and theft situations. These situations can be identified by VEE exceptions, meter events, or a combination of both. Examples of these revenue protection activities include tilt, reverse rotations, tamper alerts, zero consumption, and low usage when compared to historical usage or low usage when compared to a profile. Additional, client- specific rules can be added, as required. The application provides screens and reports to perform analysis on these occurrences. In addition, the application can also perform average daily usage (ADU) tolerance checks by comparing the ADU for a meter reading to an assigned meter profile. Users are provided screens to graphical compare the two readings and to search for possible reasons for this anomaly. An example of this is shown below. When an energy discrepancy is found, the screen can show the actual usage (green curve), the profile usage (red), and the variance (blue). The detection rules can be configured to trigger service orders for field inspection or just exceptions for users to investigate the identified anomalies.

Brief Description: Energy Accounting is a process for recording, tracking and reporting the amount and costs of the various consumable utilities used by commercial-scale facilities. Oracle Energy accounting functionality makes it easier to enter or import data, provides ready-made reports, and calculates corrections for some factors that affect energy use. Energy Accounting functionality can take inputs from Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing for billing and collection aggregates, Oracle Utilities Network Management System for any network configuration changes and estimation of technical losses. The Energy Accounting functionality uses profiling capabilities provided by Oracle Utilities Rules Language to compute energy balance at the distribution transformer and feeder level. It uses the aggregation capabilities of Oracle Utilities Rules language to produce Energy Accounting results at different administrative jurisdiction and network element level. Energy accounting can help your organization understand how energy is used and can help motivate people to take actions that can result in significant utility cost savings. However, many organizations do not realize the full benefit of tracking energy consumption and cost. The biggest pitfalls that keep organizations from effectively using energy accounting data are: 1 2 Lack of staff time and commitment in maintaining the system. Failure to communicate the results to the right people.
To make the most of energy accounting, it is crucial to allocate sufficient staff time for setting up and maintaining the system, and to develop a system of communication with administrators, facilities staff, and others whose decisions affect energy use. Energy accounting by itself will not save energy. But when used as a tool of energy management, it can help you make changes in operations or equipment that save energy dollars. Energy accounting can also help in budgeting, allocating resources for capital investment, and verifying the results of all of your energy management activities.

At login, the system prompts for a user name and password. The system displays a user type options menu, from which the users can select any user type or environment that they are authorised for. Once logged in, the system starts the windows and functions available for that user type. Oracle Utilities Network Management System utilises configuration tables for user and environment. Valid users are defined in a user table. Each user is given a user name and password that must be entered to gain access to an environment. The full name of the user is added for further identification. Each user only has access to the environments specified in an environment table. A script starts each environment. The environments for which, a given user is authorised and maintained by a system administrator. Each environment is set up via a project administrator to support a specific set of functional capabilities and optionally restricted access to those functionalities (read-only for example). Oracle Utilities Network Management System presently manages user names and passwords locally within the Oracle RDBMS. The system has a Configuration Assistant tool to add/delete/modify valid system users. Users can change their own passwords. System can have multiple profiles so different user types can have different views and access rights. System can support a re-logon option to keep current session/login active for rapid shift change Oracle Utilities Network Management System offers a Symbology Editor feature which helps users in defining symbols.

Technical Proposal to NDMC Our Solution specific duties, such as Crew Management. Crew Management is a standard predefined User Type within Oracle Utilities Network Management System. The Viewer provides a graphical display that is dynamically refreshed as changes occur in Oracle Utilities Network Management System. The Viewer allows other graphic indicators to be shown surrounding the target device to identify crew(s) dispatched to the device, SCADA digital status and quality codes, SCADA analogue measurements and quality codes, trouble call predictions, notes, and tags. Oracle Utilities Network Management System allows unique symbology to be defined for each device and outage status to represent normal and abnormal states. Symbology can also be defined to represent normal and abnormal conditions on a phase level for multi-phase devices that can operate on an individual phase level. Oracle Utilities Network Management System can also display indicators for various conditions on each device. Oracle Utilities Network Management System allows unique symbology to be defined based on Call Trouble Codes so that clues can be associated to the predicted device an allow the dispatcher to readily see and assess the nature of the outage event. Users can toggle the Viewer between the Real-time and Study mode. Within the Study mode, users can change the status of the model without affecting the real-time status. This allows users to perform what-if analysis prior to execution in real-time. Oracle Utilities Network Management System provides a SCADA Alarm Summary which shows SCADA measurement values that are outside its defined limits. Oracle Utilities Network Management System allows call entry when the customer information system is not available, in order to handle the situation when call comes from emergency services like police, fire etc.

Up to 1,500 calls per hour We propose a scalable data center and DR site. The data center hardware shall be on high availability mode. An illustrative design of the data center is as follows
Explanation of proposed network architecture Internet bandwidth from 2 different ISPs from internet routers will be load balanced by Link load balancer and routed to the IPS for first level of security check. The proposed IPS will first inspect the packet from layer-4 to layer-7.After inspection of the intrusion DOS, DDOS etc the traffic will come for the second level of security check to the external firewall. It will inspect for the malicious, junk traffic and drop the infected which can create the problem for the entire network. Then the third level of security check will be done at the internal firewall after this the trusted and authorized users can come and access the resources of the DC through internet. The proposed external firewall will also check and authenticate the MPLS users & traffic for datacenter intranet access.

Technical Proposal to NDMC Technical Infrastructure DMZ will be routed to DMZ (De-Militarize zone) of the datacenter and access the resources and server placed in the DMZ or internet Zone of the complete datacenter. Proposed components are fully capable of handing the load of the latest available application and databases. All the servers are suggested to proposed with HIPS security. Complete data of the datacenter will reside at a common SAN storage and will be backed up at Tape backup device. suggested storage is also scalable as per the future requirement. The proposed SLB will distribute the load on the web and application servers as per the availability and performance of the servers. We can create a logical segmenting on the SLB for the DMZ and MZ, if approved by NDMC.
NOTE
These recommendations are preliminary in nature, based on limited information, and should be used for budgetary purposes only. The actual size of hardware depends on many parameters specific to New Delhi Municipal Councils (NDMCs) environment. A thorough investigation will be conducted during implementation time before ordering production hardware. Note that hardware and system operation software is dependent on specific environment and configuration for NDMC. Vayam however recommends that NDMC consults its existing hardware vendor, if any, and conduct further examination to validate the estimates. The beginning of the implementation phase will start with a workshop to help determine the infrastructure requirements for NDMC. Whilst all care and attention has been made to provide the best possible recommendation, Vayam will not be responsible for the performance of the production hardware and Vayam does not undertake or commit to providing any hardware in connection with this proposal in this cost. If Vayam is selected as the preferred vendor, NDMC is free to procure hardware directly from a third party provider or may give us a separate work order.

Technical Proposal to NDMC Approach & Methodology Approach In order to In order to complete a complex, multidisciplinary project of this nature, Vayam brings in its proven approach and adapt the same to the domain requirement. Vayams approach to understanding processes and activities is:
Approach to understand the processes and activities
Preventive Consultative Visible Customer - Centric
Consultative we will consult with the teams who actually operate the process in practice, and understand the as is processes. These are the people who understand the activities as they really happen. Visible we will use process maps as a diagrammatic tool to help people understand the process flows. This makes explicit how activities impact on each other as the process is followed downstream, and presents a clear picture of the interfaces in the process. Vayam is experienced in using a variety of process mapping tools and is happy to adopt the preferred tool within NDMC. Customer-centric all process design must be end-user lead, i.e. processes are designed backwards from the final customer to the initial supplier of service. Preventive process review requires investigation into the root causes of fixing of the symptoms of process failure. Confidential and Proprietary of Vayam Technologies Limited Page 89 process failure and the resolution of these problems rather than the short-term
Methodologies Productivity Enhancement By Collaborative Envision (PECE) Methodology
There are two broad steps under PECE methodology, namely (1) Assessment and (2) Envisioning Step 1 Assessment: This step confirms NDMCs needs, maps the As-Is processes to assess the areas of the current environment under the scope for improvement opportunities and agree upon the opportunities for improvement. Step 2 Envisioning: This step envisions the future environment for NDMC to explore and develop further strategies. Productivity Enhancement By Collaborative Envisioning methodology is built around into the following 5 distinct phases:
Phase - Zero: Project Planning and
Resource Mobilization Phase - One: Assessment of
Business Needs Phase - Two: Assessment of As Is
Environment Phase Three: Defining
Improvements Opportunities Phase Four: Blueprinting Future
Environment Phase wise approach is described in the following page:
Page 89
Phase Zero: Project Planning and Resource Mobilization
Technical Proposal to NDMC Approach & Methodology Based on the precise scope of the work and timeframe of the studies a detailed project plan is developed. An internal team of relevant domain expertise is prepared. While we develop an internal team we also create a project organization for overall ownership and success of the project. A steering committee comprising Senior Management from your organization and a Project Director from Vayam is also formulated. We would propose a management team at this phase, which will be responsible for overall execution of the project on day to day basis. This team will be provided weekly status report and will also help to resolve the issues that are faced during the study phase and implementation of the project. It is at this stage that the people from NDMC, who would be coordinators, are identified and responsibilities of each resource both of Vayam and NDMC are drawn out and given to the steering committee for setting up the expectations. We are proposing a project plan as per our understanding of the project. This project plan may require fine tuning after gaining additional knowledge of NDMC. In case of any modification in the project plan, we would formally bring the same to the notice of management highlighting the need and the benefits. We would also identify project constraints, practical impediments if any during this phase. We will organize a Kick off meeting where we would present our
understanding of the project, project plan, project organization, our approach & methodology, activity schedule and delivery milestones. There will be an opportunity to introduce the team members and the organizations. Page 89
Technical Proposal to NDMC Approach & Methodology The proposed team and project organization is provided in Team Composition section of this proposal. Phase One: Assessment of Business Needs NDMCs vision and needs are assessed through interactive sessions with senior management. We take cognizance of where NDMC wishes to be in the future and what are the strategic imperatives of your organization. We would initiate the assignment understanding the following: Mission of NDMC by
The mission of a company is a general statement of the purpose and nature of the enterprise (the reasons to be in business, why the enterprise exists). Objectives of NDMC
The objectives are the broad results that the enterprise wishes to achieve on the longer term (say 5 to 10 years). Strategies of NDMC
The strategies are the directions in which the enterprise will go to achieve its objectives. Critical Success Factors
The Critical Success Factors (CSFs) are those factors which will have a major influence on whether or not the enterprise will meet its objectives (Those things which must go right). Inhibitors
Inhibitors are those factors that could prevent the enterprise from achieving its objectives (problems, obstacles, that ought to be removed). Our consultants would invest their time to understand the aforementioned factors of NDMC before moving to the next phase. Phase Two: Assessment of As Is Environment Confidential and Proprietary of Vayam Technologies Limited
