*Only for 26 towns modems are installed and all 29 towns DTC meter DLMS meters installed.
** 23 towns FS go-live ( Hubli-dharwad, Belgaum, Bijapur, Gadag, Bagalkot & Ranebennur pending). Only 19 towns DTC SIMs are activated, balance 4 towns DTC SIMs activation is under progress by RCOM. SIMs are communicating in 12 towns only i.e. also about 30% only & SIMs in balance 7 towns are not actually communicating. Out of 4852 only 701 no.s of modems are communicating.

4. CRITICAL ISSUES OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP)
CRITICAL ISSUES OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Issues
Resolution
Network issues / Performance and availability
Increase of Bandwidth from 2Mbps to 4Mbps at each SDO of BESCOM, with Optical fiber as the last mile connectivity.
ITIA to confirm on the application stability after up gradation of the network to 4Mbps.
Reliance Links going down early during office hours and restoration after office hours
At many sites tickets are not getting resolved within 24hrs as per SLA
Links frequently going down due to Packet drops , Latency , fibre cuts, Link Flapping and no proper power back up for the Base Transceiver Station(BTS) towers of RCOM
BSNL links being integrated by ITIA in some sites as an alternate to meet the targets.
GIS
Deployment of GIS based integrated Network analysis Module NEPLAN pending by ITIA.
Incremental data updates on Network and Consumers incorporated by ITIA at Mulbagil town only
Poor performance of GIS Online application, ITIA has informed the same is due to license issues. A committee formed y BESCOM comprising directors of IEEE to deliberate on the same, the committee has opined addition of hardware and requisite software will only provide marginal increase in performance and not in an order of magnitude, with the following recommendations
Committee has suggested changes / implants to GIS architecture and ITIA to incorporate the same.

5. CRITICAL ISSUES OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP)
CRITICAL ISSUES OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Module: GIS based Consumer Indexing and Asset mapping
Benefits of Bypass GIS online for loads up to 10HP/ 7.5kW:
As a measure to simplify the process in RAPDRP end-to-end application and in accordance with KERC regulation, online GIS application is bypassed for Customer loads up to 10HP/ 7.5kW where there is no extension of network. This process is deployed w.e.f
Speedy disposal of New Connection cases using By-Pass GIS On-line option: For a single connection, users are able to save minutes in the end-to-end process.
Currently, BYPASS GIS option is built for SINGLE NEW CONNECTIONS. This option is to be built for “LOAD ENHANCEMENT”, “LOAD REDUCTION” and “MULTIPLE CONNECTION” cases by ITIA.

6. CRITICAL ISSUES OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP)
CRITICAL ISSUES OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Issues
Resolution
GIS
Feature restriction to be done immediately
MAP slicing to be done at division level.
Explore switchover from web editing mode to client editing mode.
Optimise On-line GIS by-pass for other use cases
Carryout an exercise by executing a live case of Asset creating in GIS at Data Centre and observe the performance of the application and check all the logs in the system process-wise.
Committee felt it is not very confident that procurement of licenses will be very helpful unless the above issues are taken care. Hence ITIA is asked to implement the suggestions as above
MDAS
The legacy meter replacement to DLMS meters are in progress.
44295 No’s of meters already fixed and commissioned and balance 9589 Nos yet to be fixed BESCOM.
17251 modems installed by ITIA as on date modems yet to be installed.
Energy Audit
SIM card not communicating.
Gaps in GIS Incremental update and PART B network upgradation.
Modems burnt out issue
Additional Chief Secretary to conduct a meeting with ITIA and Modem Vendor.
New Connection
Process simplification by introducing bypass of GIS online for loads up to 10HP/ 7.5kW
Asset and Maintenance Management
WAMS system down since 01 June 2014, manual updation in progress till the system stabilizes
