INTRODUCTION and GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Introduction

This Volume II of the Bid Document describes the technical specifications for
Unified NMS system (U-NMS) being procured by the Employer (Power Grid
Corporation of India Limited) for managing Regional Communication System of
Inter-State Transmission system (ISTS) and State Utilities Communication Network
within a region and National Communication System for Inter-Regional
Communication system .

In line with Communication Regulation 2017, Centralized supervision of ISTS

Communication system is responsibility of CTU. POWERGRID being CTU is
required to establish U-NMS facility for Centralized supervision of ISTS
Communication System at Regional level for Inter-State Communication System as
well as at National level for Inter-Regional Communication System.

This Specification describes the functional and performance requirements of the U-

NMS system for Communication System of ISTS system comprising of
POWERGRID’s and other utilities network. The purpose of this section of the
specification is to provide general information and define the scope of this project.

Power Grid Corporation of India Limited is a “Maha-Ratna” CPSU (Central Public

Sector Undertaking) under the Ministry of Power, Govt. of India. POWERGRID has
established a dedicated Optic Fiber communication Network across the country for
grid management.

At present POWERGRID has about 73,000 Kms Fiber Optic Communication

Network in operation. Communication System deployed by POWERGRID is OPGW
based Fiber Optic Communication System primarily with SDH as fiber optic
transmission equipment & PDH as termination equipment from different makes which
came up in different time frame as part of various projects. Network Management
System (NMS) for SDH and PDH had also been provided as part of these systems,
which are proprietary in nature.

1.2 Existing Communication System:

Existing Fiber Optic Communication system in operation consists of SDH/PDH

equipment of multiple vendors deployed as part of various projects implemented by
POWERGRID to provide voice and data connectivity for Central Sector/State Sector
stations. These equipment’s are being managed by Network Management System
(NMS) supplied along with SDH/PDH as part of communication projects.
Maintenance of these systems is being done through Annual Maintenance Contract
