4. Project description

The Israel Electric Corporation (IECo) intends to extend new installations or to replace outdated Direct

Connected (whole current) multi rate meters with Time of Use (TOU) multi tariff and load survey

recording metering by utilizing of static electricity meters, specified herein.

This document establishes the structure of a specification for Poly-phase kWh & kVARh meter

collecting both kWh & kVARh, having both time of use and load profile registering to be submitted as

part of the Bidder's proposal in reply to Purchaser's Bid.

In addition, this document specifies certain purchaser's requirements with which Bidder's proposed

meter must comply.

5. Implementation of a common metering standard

Over the years a number of metering protocols (proprietary or seemingly standard) have been used in

IECo metering system. These are namely IEC 1107, ANSI, the PACT (fast LS) from Secure Meters.

The Meter Reading is available after read and converts the proprietary formats into user readable

form.

These protocols and meters SW have been modified by the Bidders to meet the unique requirements

of the IECo, from a functional point of view, especially with regard to Israeli DST special days and load

survey requirements.

The biggest drawback with the current system is the large resources and efforts being made by

individual metering companies, the system integrators, the software implementers and the IECo in

maintaining of communication protocols, drivers, adapters, converters, and application solutions.

IECo has adopted the DLMS / COSEM IEC 62056 as the standard for metering and will use it for next

/future purchases.

ANNEXURE “B0”: TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR

PREPARATION OF THE PROPOSALS




PREPARATION OF THE PROPOSALS

General instructions

1.1. Bidders shall prepare their Proposals in conformity with all requirements of the Tender Documents,

including the attached Proposal Form. (Chapter B2-12 Technical documentation).

1.2. The details and information provided by the Bidder in the Proposal Form must be printed (not

handwritten) on the Proposal Form itself or on separate documents on which the questions of the

Proposal Form must be reproduced.

1.3. The Bidder shall organize his proposal documents so that each Annexure “B” paragraph is followed by

the respective Annexure “C” paragraph. Annexure “C” paragraphs shall carry the same paragraph

number of the respective Annexure “B” paragraph with the addition of the suffix “a” and shall be

printed in a different font in order to distinguish Annexure “C” paragraphs from Annexure “B”

paragraphs. A numbered paragraph includes all material in both numbered and unnumbered

paragraphs up to the next numbered paragraph. The Bidder shall provide details of each exception

and alternative. In each and every paragraph, the Bidder shall specify all the characteristics of his

proposed meter which are relevant to the said paragraph.

1.4. The Bidder must provide a response to each and every section in the Proposal Form.

1.5. The pertinent Standards and/or Specifications. (Bidders shall indicate the link(s) of the relevant

publication(s) of the Standards and/or specifications on the Internet)

1.6. If responding on a separate document, the response must follow the same order and bear the same

numbers as those of the Proposal Form, and must refer to all subjects mentioned in the Tender Form

in a full, precise, clear, explicit and unequivocal manner.

For example

Paragraph 2.1 in the proposal will contain a reply or comment to item 2.1 of the RFP, paragraph 2.2

will include the reply or comment to item 2.2, etc. Where items contained in the RFP do not require

any response or comment, the proposal shall reflect a response of “No reply”, and the next item will

maintain its original number in the RFP If a particular question is irrelevant to the Bidder, the Bidder

must write “N/A".




1.7. Classification of the Technical part

The Bidder's reply to the Technical part must be classified as belonging to one AND ONLY ONE of the

following three categories:

Conform (C) – The Bidder's currently available proposed System meets the requirements in the

manner indicated by the Technical part.

Alternative (A) – The Bidder's currently available proposed System uses an approach at variance with

the Technical part, which the Bidder believes meets the intent of the Technical part. The Bidder shall

explain the proposed alternative. In addition, the Bidder shall specify, where applicable, the effort in

man days, required to provide a fully conforming item.

Exception (X) – The Bidder's proposed System does not meet the requirements of the Technical

part and no alternative is proposed.

For example

DIAL TEST MODE

For dial test acceleration of the initial change of normal kWh resolution shall be done. The dial test

mode shall be activated for at least 60 min (necessary software shall be included in the offer). In this

mode, the display shall show 2 or 3 digits after the decimal point. The meter will exit the dial test

mode to normal display resolution either by a command via the optic port, or when it is powered

down.

Dial test mode is required for both active and reactive energy, import and export energy, for a

continuous duration of at least 2minutes, for testing. If manufacturer does not abide to that

requirement, then alternatively it is possible, for meter to include dial test mode through

communication software. If both these means are absent then if manufacturer accepts to provide a

firmware version enabling active/reactive import/export through dial test mode for at least 2minutes.

D.1.3.a Company name: CCC Response: Conform (C);

Meter CCC – No need to change the kWh resolution. The accuracy of the KWh display is already 3 digits

after the decimal point.

In the absence of conformance alternatives or exceptions in any individual paragraph, IECo will assume

that the Bidder's proposed System is in conformance with the Technical part, and if the Bidder is

awarded this Tender, the Bidder shall be required to meet all such requirements without exception.

Said Specifications must be sufficient to demonstrate how the Bidder proposes to comply with the

applicable requirements, including full explanations of the techniques, disciplines and procedures to

be utilized. Failure to submit all required technical information for the purpose of evaluation of a

proposal may result in a rejection of the proposal.




A conformance summarizing table in a list each numbered paragraph, in the Technical part, stating for

each, the relevant category of response (C,A or X)- shall be provided by the Bidder as Annexure CX.

1. All relevant references on corresponding accuracy class.

2. Over-voltage Protection – Above and beyond the requirements specified in IEC 62053-21, the meter must

withstand a continuous heightened voltage up to 400 V upon each of the voltage inputs. The "worst case test"

scenario is when such over-voltage should be applied upon all three elements during two hours simultaneously.

The meter shall not be damaged and must perform correctly when back to its initial working condition. There

should not be any change of meter metrological features.


All relevant references on corresponding accuracy class.

IEC 62058-31 Standard tailoring

Upon IEC 62058-31 itself:

Add Note: The methods and procedures of this Standard may be used for Acceptance Inspection of kWh and kVARh

combined meters. Tests 1, 2 are common, rest of tests should be carried out twice: for kWh-meter and for kVARh-

meter by consecutive order. Special marking for test #3: 3- starting current for Wh-meter, 3a – starting current for

kVARh-meter.

Special marking of test numbers in "Table 7 – Accuracy test points and percentage error limits" should be provided

accordingly. Namely: if the test points for kWh-meter of Class 2 are marked by 4,5,6,7,8 and 9 the test numbers for

kVARh-meter of Class 3 should be marked as: 4a,5a,6a,7a,8a,9a respectively.

Nonconformities found in 4-4a….9-9a will be considered as non-critical in classification of nonconformities by table 4

of IEC 62058-31.

CHAPTER B1-4: QUESTIONNAIRES & DECELERATIONS

APPENDIX B1-4A: RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY (RAM)

Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM)

1. Definitions

The following definitions are valid for all Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) purposes in the

Specification for electronic watt-hour meters. The RAM parameters are characteristics of the meter design and

production only, when they are properly used and maintained.

1.1. Electronic Meters – See items of Specification least

1.2. Failure – Failure is any event where a meter has stopped functioning, or exceeds its specification limits, and

requires repair or replacement.

1.3. Failure Rate – The failure rate, of a meter is the number of failures per operating time unit. The system

failure rate for the meter will mean the sum of the failure rates of its components, i.e. = 1 + 2 + 3 + …

+ n.

1.4. MTTF – MTTF is the mean time between the meter installation and operation, and the first failure.

1.5. Reliability – Reliability is a design characteristic defining the ability of a product to perform satisfactorily.

Therefore: Reliability is the probability that a meter will perform without failures, for a pre-defined period

of time, when used under stated conditions (at IECo site). MTTF is a reliability parameter, in accordance

with definitions of IEC 60050-191.

1.6. Life Length – Life length of a meter is the time until the first failure in operation.

1.7. Maintenance – Maintenance is any action taken to replace a faulty meter with a properly working one,

after a failure, and test the operable condition of a replaced meter.

1.8. Maintainability – Maintainability is a design characteristic defining the ability of an item to be replaced

quickly and checked for its operable condition after a failure.

Note:

Since IECo's approach to meter fault elimination is by means of valid replacement of a damaged meter by another

one (new or used, however tested as revised product) conducting by appropriate billing, maintainability is converting

to influence of definite meter type on mean time of these replacement.




2. RAM Requirements

The Bidder is required to provide IECo with meters with the following RAM properties:

2.1 Reliability

2.1.1 Operational TTF (time to first failure): At least 15 years.

2.1.2 Operational service life time: At least 15 years, without the need for maintenance or recalibration.

activities.

3.3. Supervising on his sub-Bidders, suppliers and vendors for their RAM activities.

3.4. The optimization shall consider the following:

3.4.1. Criticality (long supply time, high price, short life length, high failure rate, single supply source,

sensitive or vulnerable materials, etc.

3.4.2. Latent failure rate (), and induced failure rate (caused by human).

3.4.3. Turn Around Time (door to door).

3.4.4. Quantity in service.

3.4.5. Recommended “probability of no shortage” (spares availability) on shelf.

3.4.6. Cost

4. Bidder RAM Declaration

4.1. The Bidder shall state in Table A1 of the Annex AA attached to this document, the minimum guaranteed

MTTF, and the operational service life length values of his offered meter, when operated within their

specified environmental extreme conditions, as per the Specification of the meter. The sum rate

these components values as predicted and verified (tested) will be reflected at MTTF state.

4.2. The Bidder shall state also in Table A2 of the Annex AA, the RAM historical field data of his offered meter.

4.3. The Bidder shall state the rationales for his above-mentioned declarations (usage/tests/

analysis/estimation).

4.4. The reliability prediction results should be reported in methods and procedures of IEC 62059-41 as for non-

repairable system.

RAM Field Data

The Bidder shall submit to IECo historical RAM field data of all installed meters (identical to his offer), at all sites,

supplied during the last 5 years, by fulfilling Table A3 in Annex AA questionnaire. A parcel of each component of

The RAM report should include specific model type, and state

the applicable years for the collected data.




5. Reliability Demonstration

IECo has the privilege to exercise a Reliability Field Demonstration (RFD) concerning the supplied meter. The

purpose of the RFD is to verify that the meters meet the reliability requirement, i.e., MTTFF of 15 years.

If subject to execution, the RFD will be conducted in accordance with the following principles:

5.1. The RFD shall be objective, quantitative and based on data collection from returned faulty meters (see IEC

60300-3-2 Application Guide, IEC 62059-21).

5.2. The Bidder has nothing to do in the RFD, except to participate in the Failure Review Board (FRB). However,

the Bidder has to do his best in his plant in the following areas, in order to supply to IECo with reliable

meters, and this to pass the RFD with high probability:

5.2.1. Design and Development

5.2.2. Parts, materials, and components

5.2.3. Manufacturing Processes

5.2.4. Quality Assurance and Control

5.2.5. Tests and inspections

5.2.6. Sub Bidders, Suppliers, and Vendors supervision

5.2.7. Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation (PHST)

5.3. The FRB is the only body entitled to classify failures as “Relevant”, or “Non-relevant” for the purpose of the

RFD.

5.4. The Bidder is responsible for productive agency of RFD results.

5.5. The RFD shall be ended with either ACCEPT, or REJECT result.

5.6. The meaning of REJECT result is violation of the specification, and the contract will deal with such a

situation.

5.7. The RFD will be framed in accordance with standard reliability test methods.

Note:

It is recommended to:

Explore IEC 60300-2, in order to demonstrate the dependability program of the offered meter.

Explore IEC 62059-11 and IEC 62059-21, in order to demonstrate the dependability level by means of internationally agreed procedures for dependability data collection.

However, if it will be agreed between IECo and winner of the Contract, another equivalent test plan could be chosen and published, as required by the relevant national body of the country where the meter is manufactured.

5.8. The complete RFD plan, including demonstration parameters, will be prepared after contract award, in

consultation between IECo. Reliability, and Equipment Dept., and the contract winner.

ANNEXURE “B2”: TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR

METER APPLICATIONS




CHAPTER B2-1: METER CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS FILES

General configurations definitions & programmable parameters:

The Bidder shall define his proposed Meter in strict compliance with the mentioned main requirements according to

the following topics

0. General requirements

0.1. In order to accomplish the TOU electric tariff / pricing in Israel the meter should have the ability to

change/update parameters in the meters at the consumer premises. The update is done by HHU (while

reading) or remotely (if connected). The meter and the supporting SW should enable to perform this

updates controlled and audited (in file ID) without changing/damaging the meter data.

0.2. Updates parameters requirement: The meter updating parameters / CONFIG files should be done by Safety

method.

0.3. Changes should become effective after verification the data integrity. partial data parameters should not

be accepted and become effective in the meter.

0.4. All CONFIG files could be read /upload from the meter by means of SW in order to compare the CONFIG

files to reference CONFIG files.

Note: Meter Bidders are allowed to change the meter firmware and the relevant software in order to

comply with this requirement.

1. TOU & Special days

1.1. The general definitions of the TOU structure are according the Table 14 TOU (2010).

Note: Updates in the TOU structure (days type, seasons, etc.) normally happen once every 5-10 years.

1.2. The Meter shall input and store any TOU and /or special days table covering at least four years in one

table/file,

1.3. A new TOU shall become effective immediate or at future date.

1.4. In case there are 2 tables (present and future) each of them shall cover at least 4 years.

1.5. At least 4 seasons per year (the seasons dates are repeating for each year)

1.6. At least 4 rates/ tariffs per season

1.7. At least 4 types of days per season (12 days type, or more)

1.8. At least 6 Tariff change points per day indicating the beginning of tariff

1.9. Cumulative register of kWh and data shall be separately stored for each tariff

1.10. Special Days

Special days are determined as the Jewish holidays / special dates (based on the lunar cycle – adjusted to the

solar calendar) so the days are variable and not directly related to the Gregorian calendar. The meter should

support special days as follows:

Enough special points for definition of "special days" (holidays& holidays evening) covering at least 4 years

(preferably 8-12 years). About 16 holidays & holiday eves per year are needed, some are overlapping with

Saturday (Appendix B-5a –special days) total 60-120 points.

2. Self read/ Billing data

2.1. The Meter shall be able to store at least 6 self reads/ billing data

2.2. There should be feasibility to read the current data only or one or more of the self reads.




2.3. The number of reading of self reads from the meter should be a parameter (0, 1, 2, 3 or 6) of the reading

SW.

2.4. Self reading shall be performed by the Meter in either one of the following ways:

2.4.1. Automatically at the end of a calendar month.

2.4.2. Deliberately, by personnel performing maintenance operations using a HHU or a portable PC.

2.5. After self-reading is performed, the maximum demand register shall be reset (zeroed).

3. Seasons

3.1. At least 4 seasons shall be definable.

3.2. A season shall be defined by a month and a day

3.3. Season starting at 00:00 hours of the defined day in every year.

3.4. Holidays and weekdays shall be definable during a season.

3.5. Only one season and one tariff shall be in operation during any time

4. Daylight Saving Time

4.1. Option 1: DST for lifetime of the meter

Until recently, the prevailing DST start and end dates in Israel depended on Jewish holidays in the Hebrew

calendar, and therefore changed from one year to another. As a result, the meter had to be loaded (via HHU)

with DST dates for a number of years – normally 4 years.

Therefore, it is now possible to define and realize the DST dates in the meter for multiple years (covering the

lifetime of the meter), without the need to change/refresh the dates via HHU.

The DST start and end dates are stipulated by the new law is as follows:

4.1.1. DST starts at 02:00 on Friday before the last Sunday in March. The meter time is moved forward by 1

hour, so the time change is as follows: 01:59 --> 02:00 --> 03:00.

4.1.2. DST ends at 02:00 on the last Sunday of October

4.1.3. . The meter time is moved back by 1 hour, so the time change is as follows: 01:59 --> 02:00 --> 01:00.




4.2. Option 2: Different Years Date

4.2.1. Daylight saving time shall be defined by its beginning date, ending date and time difference from

standard time (one hour or more).

4.2.2. At least 4 different years dates (begin and end).

4.2.3. DST time shall become effective on the date prescribed for daylight saving time beginning, at 02:00 to

03:00 hours.

4.2.4. Standard time shall become effective on the date prescribed for daylight saving time ending, at 02:00

to 01:00 hours.

4.2.5. In case of missing DST definition file or DST definition file expired dates the meter shall work at

standard time.

4.2.6. The different years dates shall be in destined file .A new definition file shall become effective

immediate or at dedicated date.

4.2.7. Updating meter time with HHU/PC/remotely with real time while DST is valid shall not damage the

meter time.

4.2.8. There should be a flag in the meter and accessible while reading (IEC file) that the meter is at DST

time.

4.2.9. Updating meter (before and after the DST dates are effective) with new dates shall change the meter

time correctly to the updating dates and time.

Note: For both options Meter Bidders are allowed to change the meter firmware and the relevant software in order

to comply with this requirement.

5. Maximum demand

Maximum demand shall be calculated over 15 minutes intervals.

5.1. These intervals shall be terminated by Meter time update and loss of power.

5.2. A new (shorter) time interval shall immediately begin after an interval is terminated in order to complete

15 minutes.

5.3. Maximum demand calculation time intervals shall be synchronized with the beginning of an hour according

to the Meter time base.

5.4. Recording of maximum demand time shall be performed at the end of its respective time interval.

5.5. Maximum demand shall be managed for all tariffs, Monthly maximum demand, cumulative maximum

demand, date and time of maximum demand shall be stored for all tariffs.

5.6. Each record shall contain the date and time of the recorded maximum demand occurrence, this time being

5.7. A new maximum demand shall be recorded only if it is bigger than the prevailing one, at the end of the

respective time interval.

5.8. The beginning of a new calculation time interval due to interference, loss of power etc. shall zero the

momentary maximum demand fields.

5.9. Once self reading is performed, the monthly maximum demand value shall be added to the cumulative

maximum demand register; monthly maximum demand value and time registers shall be cleared.

APPENDIX B2-6B: REQUIREMENTS FOR INTEGRATION OF NEW DEVICE DRIVERS INTO ZFA-F

DLMS / COSEM

ITF-EDV Fröschl (http://www.itf-edv.de/index.php?id=smart_meter&L=1) is IECo's software supplier for remote

metering and data processing.

As a part of this Spec. the meter Bidder shall provide all the data (as described herein) to ITF-EDV to facilitate

integration to IECo system. The meter manufacturer shall provide the DLMS/COSEM implemented list of data objects

including their OBIS code, and their basic structure.

In case the manufacturer wins the Tender, he is required to contact ITF Froschl for full and fruitful cooperation. The

manufacturer should provide ITF with low level routines which allow reading all meter data defined in Appendix X.

These routines will be integrated in the ITF Froschl SW (C++, Dot.Net).

The manufacturer should define and abide by a timetable (within 12 months from the date of winning the Tender) for

proving the necessary drivers for the meter. The manufacturer should schedule monthly milestones for ensuring

progress in the timetable.

The driver will receive a unique IECo catalog number, and be budgeted sepately from the meter purchases within the

framework of the Tender.

The manufacturer is responsible for quoting prices separately for the meters and the driver.

Requirements for Device Driver Integration:

1. Rules to ensure quick integration of a new DLMS / COSEM Device Driver

APPENDIX B2-6C: TOU & DST DIAGNOSTIC TEST TOOL & METERS CONFIGURATION

VERIFY TEST TOOL

Two applications / test programs are developed by IECo resources based on the Bidder pc program.

Application : 1 TOU & DST Diagnostic Test Tool

Diagnostic test tool uses test scripts to verify that an installed TOU & DST table is operating correctly by using

IECo developed software program running the meter manufacture pc program that Enable to change the

meter time and date to calculated pre-selected test points and read the meter.

The tested points are generated by IECO SW.

The program compare the meter tariff variability to expected tariff at the selected test points

At the end a report is produced (see example next page) and analyzed for differences if any.

This program is running each time there is a change in the TOU or DST data to check the new CONFIG

before distribute to all meters .

The test process:

Setting the date and time to a known value.

Running the meter “on load” for a fixed length of time.

Reading the meter to see which rate register has advanced.

Comparing the rate register advance to the expected rate register.

The tool will only complete a test properly if the meter is on load and registering energy consumption.

The test point number is automatically generated.

Each Test Point sets the meter date and time to a known value and checks that the correct rate register has been

incremented. The script then moves to the next test point, sets a new date and time and checks that the correct

rate register has been incremented.

Test Start Date = the date the meter should be set to for the test.

Test Start Time = the time the meter should be set to for the test.

Test Duration = length of time meter should be on load in order to verify that the test is successful (This

will depend on the kW load, a high kW load requires a shorter time than a low kW load).

Expected Rate Register = the rate resister that should be incremented by this test.

Phase failure (any length) –phase 3 E 01000000 00000000 40 00

unused F 10000000 00000000 80 00

Note:

If more than one bit is set, the corresponding Hexadecimal value will reflect this. For example, if there is a time

change forward (due to DST changeover) at the same time as a power failure then bits 0 and 3 would be set.

This gives a binary value of 00000000 000010012 = 00 0916.

For individual phase failures, each SIP in which the condition is true should have the corresponding bit set.

For long supply failure the status bit will be set throughout the duration of the power outage.

For time and/or date changes forwards the status bit will be set in the SIP which was current when the change

was executed and in the SIP containing the time to which the clock was set. (All SIPs in between will contain filler

data and will have only the appropriate bit set.)




For time and/or date changes backwards the status bit will be set in the SIP which was current when the change

was executed, the SIP containing the time to which the clock was set and all SIPs in between. (Since the data will

be summed and may therefore appear to be irregular.)

Each pulse count (and associated status code) for each integration period is shown in the 4 columns above. In

order to get the demand value in kWh, use the pulse multiplier and pulse divider fields.

Demand in kWh = (Count) x Divider

Multiplier x (number of periods per hour)

For the first value (0000:0000 – 0000:15), this works out at ...

35.58458.14160

12334 KWh

Filler data will appear as zeros with a status code of 000416.




Table 32A – Additional LOAD SURVEY - STATUS CODE BIT SET

No. SPECIFICATION FOR BEHAVIOUR OF LOAD PROFILE STATUS WORD STATE MACHINE

1

1. Blank days inserted as a result of forward date change show status flag 0004.

2. At the end point of a forward date change, status should be 0020, not 0000.

3. Boundary case: In summer time, a time change from 00:02 to 01:57 should show code 0008 (time change

fwd) and not code 0020 (date change fwd). This is because in base time – meter still thinks it is 1/10/11

23:00. In reality it will never occur. In addition this is still a valid status flag. Need to publish a system limit

(not a bug): prevent time change forward in summer time at hours 00:00-01:00.

2 Entry into DST (1 hour shift forwards) :At end point of the forward time change created by entry into summer

time, status should be 0008 and not 0000.

3

Status Code 5400 for periods where R, S, T are off, but not together during a single period.

1. Status Code 0002 for periods in which a long supply failure (across at least one period boundary) starts,

continues or ends – regardless of these periods having valid data or not. This includes inserted blank days.

2. Status Code 0001 for periods with meter supply off for part of one period only.

3. Status Code 0004 for periods in which there is no valid data and no other flag.

For true long supply failure with individual phase failures in the same period (4000+1000+400), 5402 is a valid status code.

4 Status Code=5401 for periods where R, S, T are off at various times during a single period + full short supply

failure during part of the same period. If there is no full supply failure we expect to see status code 5400.

5

If R, S, T fail separately and this results in a total supply failure, status code will be 5400 + 0001 (for short

supply failure – ER-3 point 1) or 0002 (long supply failure).

Any long supply failure will only show 5402 (in the event of at least one individual phase failure) at the start

and end SIPs – all intermediate SIPs will only contain 0002.

8

Suspected error: Incorrect time change backwards status flag – includes (suspected) non-existent short

supply fail -ER-8 not reproducible but partially supported in the same manner as ER-7.

0011 (and 0012) is a possible status code: (time update backwards into a period which is already marked with

a supply failure). Time update backwards without any supply failure should be marked as 0010 only.

9 Energy of repeated periods is accumulated and not overridden.

10

General principle 1: if there is interference between flagging of supply-related conditions and flagging of

date/time-related conditions. It is stressed by IEC that these sets of conditions must be handled

independently of each other.

11

General principle 2: Because of complex time changes during laboratory tests, or occasionally because of

errors in the field, it can happen that the meter(s) traverse certain time periods more than once.

If there are multiple events in the log covering any such periods, the survey periods will be marked with flags

relating to all of the traverses. For instance, such a period might show both a time set (forward or backward)

and a power failure (phase or supply) even though they actually happened on separate occasions.

In the field, this will also be the case. However, smaller time sets (1 or 2 hours forward/back) are much less

likely to create complex data.




Duplicate Data Fields

The output file shall normally contain no more than one record for each date. Input data from the meter will

however contain two or more parameter-days with the same date as a result of any time change which is not

small, or of change of survey definition (energy types, scaling, or SIP length).

Reason for duplication Action to be taken

Data collection resumed after an interruption, data sets overlapping

Eliminate duplicate days

Time change (other than a small adjustment)

For each channel, combine days having the same date

Table 33 – Duplicate Data Fields

Input records with the same date are handled as follows, where the “first” record means the one that is

encountered first in reading sequentially from the beginning of the input file (RES or ALL), and an “extra” record is

any record after the “first”.

Any extra record which results from a change in time is combined with the preceding record with the same date

to give a single output record. If there are more than two records with the same date then the output should be

as if the first two records were combined and the result then treated as a new first record to be combined with

the third record, and so on.

To combine records, first pulse counts and status values are calculated for each record , then SIPs notionally

having the same timestamp are combined with each other. Combine SIPs according to this table:

SIP in first record SIP in extra record SIP in output record

Valid Invalid Copy count and status from SIP in first record

Invalid Valid Copy count and status from SIP in second record

Invalid Invalid Invalid (zero count, filler status)

Valid Valid Sum of counts, and inclusive-OR of statuses, in first record and extra record

Table 34 – SIP Data

In the event of a change in scaling, a new set of data is started (including header info).

DST Offset

In the meter, Load Survey is always maintained using base time.

CHAPTER B2-9: METER TESTS A.R.O

ADDENDUM 2: METER ACCEPTANCE TESTS (A.R.O)

Testing of applications and software

Meter Acceptance Tests: Testing of applications and software for electronic meters with TOU, load survey and

communications functions.

Purpose:

Described in this document are the procedures for testing of applications and software for electronic meters with

TOU, load survey and communications functions to be accepted by and deployable at Israel Electric Corporation

(IECo).

Below are described the acceptance tests and documentation required of the meter supplier which have to be

provided. Passing these tests is a prerequisite for acceptance of the meter for installations at IEC. This document is

general and does not provide detailed description of precise test techniques nor does it include unique specification

details which may vary from meter to meter.

Note:

This document does not include metrological accuracy tests or fabrication/enclosure specification and labeling

checks. These are described in a separate document issued by Meter Testing Laboratory.

1. Testing of TOU, DST and relay outputs (if applied)

Creation of the correct files in the main software, loading of configuration into the meter, manual checking of 200

TOU points representing different rates on workdays, weekends and holidays in all seasons, including the switchover

to DST and back to standard time. The purpose of this test is to verify correct operation of meter within each rate

and period and of output relays indicating rates and energy pulses.

2. Testing of load survey and events log file

Operating the load survey recorder in Single and dual channel modes, in 15 and 5 minute resolutions, causing various

power failure and time & date shifting events (forward and backward). The accuracy of the survey record will be

verified by a reference recorder that is in use at AC. Testing of maximum demand recording in regular, long, and

short period and in periods with power failure.

3. Testing of HHU applications

Installation of applications onto a new HHU. Independent run of the following applications:

3.1 Meter reading 3.2 Load survey reading 3.3 Meter time correction – during standard time and DST. 3.4 Reading of meter event log 3.5 Changing TOU table. 3.6 Changing DST table – during standard time and DST. 3.7 Checking of file format converters on HHU. 3.8 Checking of all output files (applications output). Integrating the above applications into the shell program

that will be used to run them. Testing of the integrated applications using the procedure in (3).

4. Testing of PC applications on Windows (XP) 7

Installation of applications onto a PC.

Independent run of the following applications:




4.1 Meter reading

4.2 Load survey reading

4.3 Meter time correction – during standard time and DST.

4.4 Reading of meter event log

4.5 Changing TOU table.

4.6 Changing DST table – during standard time and DST.

4.7 Changing of output relay configuration

4.8 Reading of all configuration files from the meter for verification against reference configuration files.

4.9 Checking of file format converters on PC.

4.10 Checking of all output files.

Integrating the above applications provided by the supplier into the shell program that will be used to run them.

5. Remote communication (remote metering)

5.1 Remotely reading the meter, changing configuration tables, and performing all operations as described in

(4) within the main software using a PSTN and a GSM modem (circuit switched network).

5.2 G.P.R.S – Modem and IEC.o server's tests as in 5.1 above. 5.3 TCP/IP and Ethernet testing - tests as in 5.1 above.

Running all the independent applications (routines) provided by the supplier as described in (4) in remote mode,

and integrating these applications into shell software used in IEC to run them.

6. Checking of output files – Checking of file format converters, output file for billing (.iec), output file of load

survey record, event log.

Note:

All communications tests will simulate and check conditions of lost connection between the meter and the remote

operating program. We will check the impact of and possible damage to the meter and/or operating software

resulting from such conditions, and the self recovery ability of both the meter and the operating software.

7. Documentation

Receipt of up to date manuals and documentation for operating all the above applications. Receipt of test reports from the meter Bidder regarding all the above applications (excluding integration with the shell software). Communication protocol details (after signing of NDA). It is possible to submit this software at a later mutually agreed time after receipt of the initial shipment of meters.

8. Verification software for checking the correctness of TOU and DST tables in meter (test 1). It is possible to

submit this software at a later mutually agreed time after receipt of the initial shipment of meters.

Note:

Discovery of problem or incompatibility in the software requires repeating of all the above tests after correcting the

problem.
