14 The control computer, if not expected to be housed in a server environment, should include an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Indicate the recommended capacity of the UPS. Remote Access [COMPANY] desires that all AMI system functions, reports, and data on the control computer or server be securely accessible by properly authorized persons from other workstations on the utility's network using the IP communications protocol. Describe how this access is provided and how security is ensured. System Software Software will need to (1) operate the control computer that interacts with other AMI system components to obtain meter readings, (2) manage the database of meter readings and other information, and (3) interface with [COMPANY's] customer care and billing system and other information system. These applications may be integrated or separate. Mode of Operation Indicate normal modes of operation of the LoRaWAN AMI system software, including batch processing and single meter reading query processing. The LoRaWAN AMI software shall provide the user with reports of the current status and reading history of individual accounts and selectable groups of accounts. The software should be able to sort and list accounts and their meter reading data. The software should be able to create user-defined account groups and aggregate consumption profiles. Interface to Billing System The LoRaWAN AMI system should automatically provide data corresponding to all the accounts in a billing cycle, meter reading route, or other grouping presented to it. Updating Account Data Describe the procedures for updating relevant account information within the system and/or meter reading database when account information is changed in the billing application. Recovery/Restart The system must be easily recovered and restarted in the event of any interruption or software freeze. Database To limit the manpower demands and possible need for designated IT staff, [COMPANY] will only accept an AMI that is a Proposer-hosted solution. The Proposer will obtain information necessary for preparing bills from the proposed database. This database must contain at a minimum: account number, MIU ID number and/or port number, meter number, meter readings, date and time of each meter reading, geographic coordinates, and tampering indications. If acquired as part of the AMI system, the meter reading database may contain additional fields. Describe major database tables and list fields with associated data types. Can [COMPANY] add or modify fields in database tables? If so, describe provisions and limitations. Meter Location Data. Indicate any provisions in the database for storing and managing X-Y coordinates or other data for meter location.
