About this file

This document is a detailed technical specification for an Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) and Electrical Power Control System (EPCS) for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The specification outlines comprehensive requirements for a server/client monitoring system that must gather, display, and alarm on data from various remote devices throughout the power system. Key technical requirements include a SCADA-based Human-Machine Interface (HMI) with GPS timing synchronization, capable of monitoring power quality, capturing events, and providing real-time power flow visualization across electrical distribution equipment.

The system must include specific hardware components such as workstations, server racks, touch-screen monitors, power quality meters, sequence of events recorders, and GPS timing systems. Software capabilities encompass advanced features like detailed one-line diagrams, alarm logging, trending, reporting, maintenance mode, user security levels, and diagnostic monitoring. The specification is part of a broader FAA market survey for an anticipated 10-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Electrical Distribution Equipment (EDE) III and life cycle support, with a base period of two years and four potential two-year option periods. The principal NAICS code is 335311 Power, Distribution and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing, with a size standard of 800 employees.

3. Power Flow Lines – Representation of power conductor paths between pieces of gear and equipment.

4. Buses – Representation of busing inside of a piece of gear or equipment.

2.7.6.3 Animation

1. Power Flow Lines and Buses

· Power flow lines and buses must be colored based upon whether or not they are in one of three states: Red for Energized, Green for De-Energized, and Magenta for Unknown.

· Any line or bus that is not monitored, cannot be calculated, or cannot be logically determined must be colored black.

· Lines crossing between screens must be shown on both screens and animated identically. Navigation must be provided to follow the continuation of the lines between screens. Labels must also be provided stating the destination gear/device at the beginning/ending points of the lines.

· Power flow lines and buses are animated based on metered values and/or the logical combination of metered values and breaker states.

2. Symbols

· If possible, symbols must be colored and animated based on the state of the monitored device as defined by the FAA.

· Breakers and switches are animated with a standard breaker symbol depicting open/closed/tripped/withdrawn state.

· UPS, Static Transfer Switches, Automatic Transfer Switches, and Generators must be colored and animated according to their internal operation as defined by the FAA. Third party device states must be provided in dynamic text form near the respective symbols.

· Transformers must be colored to match connected power flow lines.

· All other symbols’ animation will be defined by the FAA as required.

· Any symbol or bus within a symbol that is not monitored, cannot be calculated, or cannot be logically determined must be colored black.

· Symbols must be standard electrical symbols.

4. Power Flow Methodology

· All power flow lines and buses must be animated based on either voltage read from a meter, under voltage relay, or other voltage sensing devices directly monitoring them whenever available. Lines directly tied to a third party device input or output must be animated based on metered values available from the device.

· No lines or buses may be animated based upon a device whose communication rate does not allow the animation refresh rate to meet the minimum requirements for real-time monitoring as specified in section 3.7(E)(10) Refresh Rate.

· Lines and buses not directly metered must be animated using logical combinations of metered buses and breaker states. Logic must continue through the one-line until a metered bus or device is reached.

· Where possible, animated lines and buses must derive their state not only from devices upstream but downstream devices as well.

· An animated line or bus state that cannot be determined due to device communication failures or conflicting logical states must display a third animated state and have the color Magenta. In the case where multiple voltage sources can animate a line or bus and the sources conflict (energized, de-energized, or unknown) the following precedence must be followed:

· If at least one source is energized animate as energized.

· If no source is energized and at least one is unknown animate as unknown.

5. Scripting Active one-line screens must have the capability to have animation driven based on custom written code where necessary to properly animate the state of a line, bus, breaker, device status, alarm message, or other visual indication.
