SCADA/DMS, system under Part A –R-APDRP

Model Technical specification
MGVCL/RAPDRP/SIA/1140

The SCADA/DMS system shall prepare all data that they acquire for use by the
power system operations and other applications. The data processing
requirements shall apply to data collected from all specified sources.
Data acquired from RTUs/FRTUs/FPI/IT system , as well as data received from
the DMS and the existing control centers if any, shall be processed and placed in
the Real-Time Database as soon as it is received.

Data processing involves a value which has been converted to internal form and
analyzed for violations of limits. The data processing shall set various data
attributes depending on the results of the checks and shall trigger any additional
processing or calculation. The SCADA /DMS system shall prepare all the
acquired data for use by the power system applications. The SCADA system
shall have capability to accept data from the following sources:
(a) Real-time (also referred as telemetered) data received from
control centres /IT system (data centre, customer care ,DR
centre and RTUs/FRTU/FPI etc)
(b) Calculated data
(c) Manually entered data
(d) Sequence of events data
(e) Alternate data sources

1.2.5.1 Analog Data Processing

Analog data processing shall be performed according to the requirements listed

below.

(i) Conversion to Engineering Units

Analog points that are transmitted to SCADA system in raw data format shall be
converted to engineering units before being stored in the database. This
conversion function shall include, as a minimum, the capability to perform the
following conversion algorithm:

Value = (A * scanned valued) + B ,

where A and B are programmer-adjustable constants assignable as database

attributes on a per point basis.

(ii) Zero dead band processing

The SCADA system at control centre shall process each analog input for dead
band zone processing. The acquired value, if falls between the dead band range
around zero then it shall be considered as clamped zero value else the actual
value shall be considered.

(iii) Reasonability Limit Check
