The TPP/WPP Excitation HMI’s Qty-6 need to be updated. The currently installed HMI will not support the new update firmware patched for software (Compact Control Builder 6.0) and reliability has become a concern. There will be need to have a tech on site during this installation to assist in successfully setting up the HMI, software, and performing test of systems. This update to equipment and software shall need to have the capability of producing more reliability of response during large frequency disturbances on the network.

The TPP/WPP Excitation Control Terminals is in need of being updated to optimize performance and prolong the life cycle of the Excitation units. This update will involve replacing current Excitation Control Terminals (HMI) Qty-6 with updated software Windows 10 (current version is Windows XP/7).

This update will meet NERC-CIP regulatory requirements and avoid obsolescence risks. With this update the new HMI’s will have the capabilities when available to accept Windows 11 and any future compact control builder firmware updates.

Enhancement benefits are:

• Update system firmware to latest version will provide product enhancement such as respond to large frequency disturbances

• Avoid obsolescence risk on Microsoft Windows XP/7 by upgrading to the latest Windows 10 OS.

• Meet cyber and regulatory security requirements for windows-based systems (NERC-CIP, NIST

800-53, ISA-99, IEC 62443)

• Reduce system vulnerability while increasing system reliability

• Up to date software functionality to support with capturing data required for grid code regulations

• Modernize HMI to improve operator effectiveness, enhance the ease of use and data analytics

• Meet corporate/regulatory requirements with ABB’s proven cost-effective and low-risk technical solution

• Obtain access to ABB-tested patches and cyber security updates to ease long term maintenance

This system is ABB all materials and tech service shall be paid for through this procurement. A certified tech shall be on-site while installing and setting up new Excitation Control Terminals along with performing functional testing a schedule for dates to be on-site shall be determined.

The Certified tech shall be trained to meet Grand Coulee Lockout/Tagout procedures. This training is offered on the first Wednesday of every month.
