7.0 Data Integration

Core function of the AMR system is the integration of the measured data that may collect
and retrieve from the various monitoring locations. The AMR system shall be provided with
suitable communication protocols to transfer the data from the meters to Data Management
Center (DMC) for data storage and analysis.

7.1 Data Management Center (DMC)

7.1.1 DMC is dedicated for communicating, storing and availing all meters data.
DMC is the control station with host computers responsible for Data
Processing, Dissemination and Data Management Operations. To improve
availability and reliability of the system two redundant machines run the
services. These machines are configured in High Availability Cluster
configuration.

7.1.2 The DMC shall provide multiple digital communication ports and support
mutable open protocols with the meter for data collection purposes. The
DMC shall provide interface software that can be able to recognize and
convert raw data from the meters into its own database to achieve the desired
data for analysis, reporting and benchmarking purposes. The interfacing

40TMSS03R0/KVJ Date of Approval: December 3, 2007. PAGE NO. 20 OF 38

TRANSMISSION MATERIALS STANDARD SPECIFICATION 40-TMSS-03, Rev. 0

software shall also be available to download data from the meters, convert to
standard format if necessary and put in standardized file hierarchy (IEEE
1159.3 PQDIF) and /or a commercial power quality database (e.g. PQView
or propriety standardized format as approved by SEC).

7.1.3 The desired DMC shall support multi-vendor metering system. The proposed
communication protocol and the DMC shall demonstrate capabilities for
supporting the existing meters that already installed within SEC network and
other meter technologies (other meters provided by other vendors) that shall
be installing in future. Otherwise the DMC shall have up-gradable system to
overcome the future plan and work expansion for the new meter installation.

7.1.4 DMC shall be able to store previous recorded data at least for two years
which shall allow SEC engineers to generate yearly, quarterly, monthly,
weekly and daily reports.

7.1.5 Monitoring of the power system at all voltage levels for a given transmission
network is required to obtain a meaningful representation of the power
system performance.

7.1.6 DMC shall have data access via the intranet that providing automated and
custom reports to be retrieved by all interested parties. This ability alleviates
the need for managers to request customized reports from frontline engineers
and allows multiple report formats to be available from any commuter with
access to the web site. In addition to remote data retrieval capability,
complete access to meters set up and configuration shall be enabled via the
desired web-base.

7.2 Three major components each representing a functional layer of the system in a
regional DMC are; communication Server, Application Server and Database Server.

a. Communication Server

This server shall take the responsibility of translating the data sent by
the main servers to DCU and ensure proper physical layer translation.
The communication server is used to take over the overhead of protocol
translation by ensuring proper load management. If different type of
communication media are deployed (such as GSM in future expansion)
then this server takes the load of translating all the data between
different types of physical media; to LAN/WAN. A single high end
server is selected for running the communication system software,
which interacts with Application Server for processing of the received
information and with Database Server for the data storage requirments.
Minimum requirement of hardware and software is as follows:
i. Hewlett-Packard Rack ProLaint DL380 G5 Xeon 5160 3000-
4MB/1333 SFF SAS (Hewlett-Packard Backplan, 2P,
P4000/512/BBWC, 4GB, DVD, Fans or equivalent – 1 No

40TMSS03R0/KVJ Date of Approval: December 3, 2007. PAGE NO. 21 OF 38

TRANSMISSION MATERIALS STANDARD SPECIFICATION 40-TMSS-03, Rev. 0

ii. Hewlett-Packard 72GB 15k 2.5 single Port Hewlett-Packard SAS

Drive (2 Hard Disk Drive “HDD” for Redundant Array of
independent Disks “RAID 1”) or equivalent - 2 Nos
iii. Software
• Microsoft Windows 2003 Server or higher version
• AMR Communication Gateway Software

To increase the availability to minimize the impact of the failures and to

boost the performance of the system a dual processor (each one having
dual core) high end machine is to be selected. To cope up with hard
disk crashes, the sever shall contain (2) two 72GB hard disks arranged
in RAID level 1 configuration. These hard disks host the operating
system as well as the communication system software. The system data
storage requirements are carried out using the data storage provided by
the Database Server.

b. Application Server

It provides the major functionality of the AMR system. The software

running on this is responsible for many tasks that include: Data
Management, Data Processing, Data Storing, Authentication and
Authorization system user, Dissemination of Data to monitoring Clients
(Human Machine interface “HMI”) and providing services to HMI
Clients (Service Like; Ad-hoc requests, Meter configuration request
etc). Two high end servers shall be selected and to be configured in
High Availability (HA) of Failover Cluster configuration to increase the
reliability and availability of the system. The minimum requirement of
hardware and software is as follows:
i. Hewlett-Packard Rack ProLaitn DL380 G5 Xeon 5160 3000-
4MB/1333 SFF SAS (Hewlett-Packard Backplane, 2P,
P400/512/BBWC, 4GB, DVD, Fans) – 2 Nos
ii. Hewlett-Packard 72GB 15k 2.5 Single Port Hewlett-Packard SAS
Drive (2 Hard Disk Drive “HDD” for Redundant Array of
Independent Disks “RAID 1”) – 4 Nos
iii. NC320T PCI-Express Gigabit Server Adapte – 2 Nos
iv. Hewlett-Packard Proliant Cluster Starter Kit – 1 No
v. Software
• Microsoft Windows 2003 Server or higher version
• AMR Application Server Software

c. Database Server

This shall be responsible for providing and managing the data storage
of the system. SQL Server 2005 Database Management System
“DBMS” is preferred to run this server. Both communication server and
application server shall interact with the Database Server for storing
AMR system Data.

40TMSS03R0/KVJ Date of Approval: December 3, 2007. PAGE NO. 22 OF 38

available the system data. Following data shall be stored on database:
i. Field data such as information about electrical meters in the field,
load status and power quality
ii. System data such as user data with their privileges
iii. Communication Server related data
