2. Project Abstract

 Asset Code Modification is one of the utility of GIS (Geographic

Information System) module which is under in RAPDRP Project. RAPDRP stands for Reformed Accelerated Power Development and Reform
Programme.
The R-APDRP program will cover urban areas-towns and cities with
population of more than 30,000.DISCOM under R-APDRP
1. Paschim Gujarat Vij Co.Ltd(PGVCL)
2. Madhya Gujarat Vij Co.Ltd(MGVCL)
3. Dakshin Gujarat Vij Co.Ltd(DGVCL)
4. Uttar Gujarat Vij Co.Ltd(UGVCL)
The DISCOM supplies electricity to all categories of users be they be
domestic, non domestic, small / medium / large industrial or
agricultural consumers.
The power distribution set up has large & complex distribution network
infrastructure which carries the energy from the power sub stations
(33/11 KV) through the HT and LT lines up to the consumers premises
and in order to operationalize this DISCOM has huge human work.

 Due to various reasons the technical and commercial losses that occur
in the supply of electricity effects the financial health of the DISCOM
severely. So,to overcome these type of losses GIS is very useful.
GIS is system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and
present all types of geographical data. Under GIS module we develop one
utility which is Asset Code Modification(ACM). These utility is developed to
facilitate the end user to reduce the logical gap of Asset code between Old
Feeder network and bifurcated feeders network.
We provide the new code for each electrical asset such as HT Lines, LT Lines,
Pole, DPD, Tapped Lines etc, which is beneficial in pole painting and
identification of owner of particular asset.
Asset Code Modification utility is used by DISCOM's Network Engineer and
Junior Engineer.

3. Description of
Project

3.1 Project Overview

Introduction
The Government of India in 10th Plan started Accelerated Power development

and reforms program for reforms in distribution with following objectives:

Reduction of AT&C losses

Bring about commercial viability

Reduce outages & interruptions

Increase consumer satisfaction

The Govt. of India has proposed to continue R-APDRP during the XI Plan with
revised terms and conditions as a Central Sector Scheme. The focus of the program
shall be on actual, demonstrable performance in terms of sustained loss reduction.
Establishment of reliable and automated systems for sustained collection of accurate
base line data and the adoption of Information Technology in the areas of energy
accounting will be essential before taking up the regular distribution strengthening
projects.

Programme Coverage
It is proposed to cover certain high-load density rural areas with significant
loads, works of separation of agricultural feeders from domestic and industrial ones,
and of High Voltage Distribution System (11kV) will also be taken up.
Further, towns / areas for which projects have been sanctioned in X Plan RAPDRP shall be considered for the XI Plan only after either completion or short
closure of the earlier sanctioned projects.

Proposed Scheme
Projects under the scheme shall be taken up in Two Parts. Part-A shall include
the projects for establishment of baseline data and IT applications for energy
accounting/auditing & IT based consumer service centers. Part-B shall include
regular distribution strengthening projects. The activities to be covered under each
part are as follows:

Part - A:
Preparation of Base-line data for the project area covering Consumer Indexing,
GIS Mapping, Metering of Distribution Transformers and Feeders, and Automatic
Data Logging for all Distribution Transformers and Feeders and SCADA / DMS
system (only in the project area having more than 4 lacs population and annual
input energy of the order of 350 MU).
It would include Asset mapping of the entire distribution network at and below
the 11kV transformers and include the Distribution Transformers and Feeders, Low
Tension lines, poles and other distribution network equipment. It will also include
adoption of IT applications for meter reading, billing & collection; energy accounting
& auditing; MIS; redressal of consumer grievances; establishment of IT enabled
consumer service centers etc. The base line data and required system shall be
verified by an independent agency appointed by the Ministry of Power.

Part - B:
Renovation, modernization and strengthening of 11 KV level Substations,
Transformers/Transformer Centers, Re-conductoring of lines at 11kV level and
below, Load Bifurcation, feeder separation, Load Balancing, HVDS (11kV), Aerial
Bunched Conductoring in dense areas, replacement of electromagnetic energy
meters with tamper proof electronics meters, installation of capacitor banks and
mobile service centers etc. In exceptional cases, where sub-transmission system is
weak, strengthening at 33 KV or 66 KV levels may also be considered.

3.2 Geographic Information System ( GIS )

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is identification of all network
components & every consumer with geographical reference and their relationship
availability of information at the click of mouse.
A GIS can be thought of as a system it digitally creates and "manipulates"
spatial areas that may be jurisdictional, purpose, or application-oriented. Generally,
a GIS is custom-designed for an organization. Hence, a GIS developed for an
application, jurisdiction, enterprise, or purpose may not be necessarily interoperable
or compatible with a GIS that has been developed for some other application,
jurisdiction, enterprise, or purpose. What goes beyond a GIS is a spatial data
infrastructure, a concept that has no such restrictive boundaries.
In this project, GIS technology is a fundamental requirement to have a
managed electric network, which can help to establish the baseline data of all
bonafide consumers by door to door field survey of all consumers. GIS consists of
Asset Mapping, Consumer Indexing, and Route Sequencing of consumers with
respect to the Poles, DTRs, HT Feeders, HT Substation, Division, Circle & DISCOM.
Asset mapping of the entire Distribution Network up to consumers energy
meters will help the DISCOMs to monitor and reduce losses across the Distribution
Network. Adoption of GIS technology and its integration with other applications for
Meter Reading, Billing and Collection to get more accurate and timely data for
Energy Accounting and it will play a key role to help in management, technical and
cost estimation discussion for the Electricity Board.

3.3 GIS Utility Tool

There is utility tool developed for the GIS module in this project which is Asset
Code Modification.
Key Features Of Asset Code Modification:
i. Auto generation of new asset codes for bifurcated feeder.
The new functionality developed for feeder bifurcation will generate
asset codes for
the bifurcated feeder automatically(monitored
under GIS expert supervision).
The following figure shows the network before bifurcation, the
highlighted
part(bifurcated) is the network that will be affected.
Initially, the highlighted
bifurcated network is connected to
Feeder XYZ and has asset codes as per that feeder.

[Network Before Bifurcation]

After bifurcation, the highlighted bifurcated network is now connected to

PQR Feeder and the asset codes will be as per its parent feeder which is
now PQR Feeder. The following figure shows that.

[Network After Bifurcation]

This is a basic overview of Asset Codification .It also involves asset
codification of
Low Tension Lines/LT Poles. These changes in asset codes after
bifurcation will be done
automatically.
ii. Lesser Resources and Manual efforts
Changing of asset codes after bifurcation is a tedious task. In present
scenario,process of
changing asset codes takes approximately 1-2 months
or more with extra resources
and processes which is very high
and complex.
But, with this functionality new asset codes for the bifurcated feeder will
be generated
under GIS expert supervision with less efforts, time
and complications.
iii.Old Parent Feeder not affected
The old feeder will not be affected by feeder bifurcation. That is, the
asset codes and
sequencing of the old feeder will not change , this will
save the client from repainting
that feeder.

iv. Easy Identification of an asset in the network

As this utility generates new asset codes of the bifurcated feeder, it will
be of great use
for end user or line man who can identify , to which
feeder a particular asset belongs,
because after bifurcation an asset
belonging to one network is shifted to another. Hence
it will be easy in
identifying asset, in case of a fault or defect.
v. Pole Painting process simplified
Till now there was no provision for updation of asset codes for the
bifurcated feeder
through utility, hence there are many feeders for
which pole painting/repainting is
pending. However now by the help of
this utility painting of pole can be done by
comparing Current and
New asset codes.
Assumption about Asset Code Modification:
i. No user should be working on affected Feeders/Networks.
One of the prerequisites of using this functionality is that, no user is
currently working
on affected feeder or network. When another
user updates any asset in the same
feeder/network and submits
the job, the work done in feeder bifurcation will get
affected,which in turn will affect asset code updation. Hence, to avoid any data
loss/mismatch, no user should be working on affected
feeder/network.
ii. Job Submission.
Submission of Jobs which belongs to affected Network/Feeder is
necessary, prior to
asset code updation.
This solution considers master data(GIS Master version) as its base. So
all the
Jobs(affected Feeders) needs to be Posted/Submitted
to Master data prior to Asset
codification . If not done then there is a
possibility that the sequencing of assets will be
out of order.
iii.Network Tracing.
Its is mandatory that the Network/Feeder participating in the process

must be traced
before hand. As the process runs on the basis of
tracing and any network asset not traced
will be left out of the process. Any
changes done in network/asset code will not be
reflected in that asset.
So before starting the process, one should ensure entire network is
properly traced.
iv. Sequencing and Modification.
Asset codes of all the poles, DTRs and Lines of the bifurcated network
will be changed
as highlighted in the figure.

4. Planning of the Project

4.1 Requirement Analysis

Functional Requirements:
In software engineering, a functional requirement defines a function of a
system or its component. A function is described as a set of inputs, the behavior,
and outputs that define what a system is supposed to accomplish.

The tool should be able to:

1. Modify the asset codes of HT Lines, LT Lines, Poles, Tapped Line,
DTR etc.
2. Identify foreign lines and poles.
3. Share modified data with NA(Network Analysis).
4. Identify DPD for given feeder.
5. Makes Pole Painting process simple.
6. Easy Identification of an asset in the network.

Non-Functional Requirements:
A non-functional requirement, specifies criteria that can be used to judge the
operation of a system rather than specific behaviors. This should be contrasted with
functional requirement that defines specific behavior or functions.
1.Ease of Use:
The functionality should have a user friendly interface. The user
interface must be
familiar to users, and so may need to follow a single
set of rules consistent with those
of the operating system, or other
mainstream applications.
2.Reliability:
It should specify the ability of a system to perform its required functions
under stated
conditions and the capability of the system to
maintain its performance over time.
3.Extensibility:
The system's ability should be such that the new functionality can be
extended, in
which the system's internal structure and data flow
are minimally or not affected.
4.Accuracy:
The system should be able to store and retrieve all the records from
database
accurately.
5.Efficiency:
The efficiency partly depends on the hardware and software
configuration of the
computer where the software will be
deployed. The software should be able to serve
for all inputs by the
user.

6.Performance:
The performance constraints should specify the timing characteristics of
the system.
Certain tasks or features are more time-sensitive than
others.

System Development Methodology:

Waterfall Model
V-Model
Spiral Model
Incremental Model
Iterative Model
Prototype Model

7. Evolutionary Model
In this project, We have used Iterative Model.
In Iterative model, iterative process starts with a simple implementation
of a small set of the software requirements and iteratively enhances the evolving
versions until the complete system is implemented and ready to be deployed.
An iterative life cycle model does not attempt to start with a full
specification of requirements. Instead, development begins by specifying and
implementing just part of the software, which is then reviewed in order to identify
further requirements. This process is then repeated, producing a new version of the
software at the end of each iteration of the model.

Iterative Model design:

Iterative process starts with a simple implementation of a subset of the
software requirements and iteratively enhances the evolving versions until the full
system is implemented. At each iteration, design modifications are made and new
functional capabilities are added. The basic idea behind this method is to develop a
system through repeated cycles (iterative) and in smaller portions at a time
(incremental).
Following is the pictorial representation of Iterative and Incremental
model:

Iterative and Incremental development is a combination of both iterative

design or iterative method and incremental build model for development. "During
software development, more than one iteration of the software development cycle
may be in progress at the same time." and "This process may be described as an
"evolutionary acquisition" or "incremental build" approach."
In incremental model the whole requirement is divided into various
builds. During each iteration, the development module goes through the
requirements, design, implementation and testing phases. Each subsequent release
of the module adds function to the previous release. The process continues till the
complete system is ready as per the requirement.
The key to successful use of an iterative software development lifecycle is
rigorous validation of requirements, and verification & testing of each version of the
software against those requirements within each cycle of the model. As the software
evolves through successive cycles, tests have to be repeated and extended to verify
each version of the software.

5. Tools & Technologies

5.1 The .NET Framework

The .NET Framework is a technology that supports building and
running the next generation of applications and XML Web services. The .NET
Framework is designed to fulfill the following objectives:
To provide a consistent object-oriented programming environment whether
object code is stored and executed locally, executed locally but Internetdistributed, or executed remotely.

To provide a code-execution environment that minimizes software deployment

and versioning conflicts.

To provide a code-execution environment that promotes safe execution of code,

including code created by an unknown or semi-trusted third party.

To make the developer experience consistent across widely varying types of

applications, such as Windows-based applications and Web-based
applications.

To build all communication on industry standards to ensure that code based

on the .NET Framework can integrate with any other code.

5.2 C# Language
C# is an elegant and type-safe object-oriented language that enables
developers to build a variety of secure and robust applications that run on the .NET
Framework. You can use C# to create Windows client applications, XML Web
services, distributed components, client-server applications, database applications,
and much, much more.
C# syntax is highly expressive, yet it is also simple and easy to learn. As
an object-oriented language, C# supports the concepts of encapsulation,
inheritance, and polymorphism. All variables and methods, including the Main
method, the application's entry point, are encapsulated within class definitions.

5.3 Oracle 11g

Oracle 11g Database helps customers lower IT costs and deliver a higher
quality of service by enabling consolidation onto database clouds and engineered
systems like Oracle Exadata and Oracle Database Appliance. It's proven to be fast,
reliable, secure and easy to manage for all types of database workloads including
enterprise applications, data warehouses and big data analysis.

5.4 Arc Geographic Information System(ArcGIS)

Esri's ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) for working with maps
and geographic information. It is used for: creating and using maps; compiling
geographic data; analyzing mapped information; sharing and discovering geographic
information; using maps and geographic information in a range of applications; and
managing geographic information in a database.
The system provides an infrastructure for making maps and geographic
information available throughout an organization, across a community, and openly
on the Web.
When working with geo databases, it is important to understand about feature
classes which are a set of features, represented with points, lines, or polygons. With
shape files, each file can only handle one type of feature. A geo database can store
multiple feature classes or type of features within one file.
Geo databases in ArcGIS can be stored in three different ways including as a
"file geodatabase", "personal geodatabase", and "ArcSDE geodatabase".

5.5 Arc Facilities Manager(ArcFM)

ArcFM is a powerful extension of ESRI's ArcGIS platform that provides a

complete, enterprise utility solution geared to the needs of utility end users. ArcFM
consists of a family of models and a set of sophisticated tools that provide a
comprehensive application for energy and water/wastewater utilities.
ArcFM allows maintenance and viewing of data, using company specific
business rules, and includes applications to configure the data models and tools to
work together. ArcFM takes advantage of industry standard architecture and
programming environments, an easy-to-use interface, and powerful cartographic
tools, giving utilities an optimized solution for the entire organization.

5.6 Arc Spatial Database Engine (ArcSDE)

ArcSDE technology is a core component of ArcGIS for Server. It manages
spatial data in a relational database management system (RDBMS) and enables it to
be accessed by ArcGIS clients. It is the technology that provides the framework to
support long transactions, which facilitates the versioned editing environment in
multiuser geo databases. The geodatabase is the primary data storage model for
ArcGIS; it provides a single central location to access and manage spatial data.
In ESRIs simple definition, versioning "is the mechanism that enables
concurrent multiuser geodatabase editing in ArcSDE geo databases." This is a good
place to start. Versioning is one of the true benefits of enterprise GIS because it
allows multiple users to be editing the same geographic area and even the same
database record at the same point in time. Each user edits the data within their own
version in the geo database and then ArcSDE provides the tools to merge those edits
into the master public version.

9. Testing

9.1 Overview
Software Testing is the process used to identify the correctness,
completeness and quality of developed system. A test strategy is an outline that
describes the testing approach of the software development cycle. It is created to
inform project managers, testers, and developers about some key issues of the
testing process. This includes the testing objective, methods of testing new
functions, total time and resources required for the project, and the testing
environment.

Unit testing is a software testing method by which individual units of

source code, sets of one or more computer program modules together with
associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures, are tested to
determine whether they are fit for use. Intuitively, one can view a unit as the
smallest testable part of an application.
