Common use of Outstation Clause in Contracts

Outstation. An Outstation system shall be provided which transfers data to and receives data from any Settlement Instation. Where a single separate Outstation is provided for storing data for more than one circuit, the maximum aggregated capacity shall be 100 MVA. Where more than one separate Outstation is provided the main Meter and check Meter data shall be stored in different Outstations. Superseded The Outstation data shall be to a format and protocol approved by Scottish Settlements. The Outstation shall facilitate the metering data to be read by any Settlement Instation provided the requirements of Section 7 of this Code are satisfied. For the purpose of transferring stored metering data from the Outstation to the Settlement Instation a unique Outstation identification code shall be provided. Normally metering data will be collected by the Settlement Instation by a daily interrogation, but repeat collections of metering data shall be possible throughout the Outstation data storage period. If not integral, the Outstation system supply shall either be from a secure supply, or from a measurement VT with separate fusing for each Outstation. Where a separate modem associated with the Outstation system is used, then it shall be provided with a separately fused supply either from a secure supply or from a measurement VT (See Section 5). Alternatively, line or battery powered modem types may be used. 5.5.1 Data storage: Data storage facilities for metering data shall be provided as follows:- 5.5.1.1 each Demand Value shall be identifiable to its respective date and time; 5.5.1.2 a storage capacity of 48 periods per day for a minimum of 20 days for all Demand Values; (See Section 4.1.2) 5.5.1.3 the stored Demand Values shall be integer values of kW or kVAr, and have a resolution of better than ±0.1% (at full load); 5.5.1.4 the accuracy of the energy values derived from Demand Values shall be within ±0.1% (at full load) of the amount of energy measured by the associated Meter; Superseded 5.5.1.5 the value of any energy measured in a Demand Period but not stored in that Demand Period shall be carried forward to the next Demand Period; 5.5.1.6 where a separate Outstation is used, cumulative register values shall be provided in the Outstation which can be set to match and increment with the Meter Registers; 5.5.1.7 in the event of an Outstation supply failure, the Outstation shall protect all data stored up to the time of the failure, and maintain the time accuracy in accordance with Section 5.5.2; 5.5.1.8 partial Demand Values, those in which an Outstation supply failure and/or restoration occurs, and zero Demand Values associated with an Outstation supply failure, shall be marked so that the Settlement Instation can identify them; 5.5.1.9 to cater for continuous supply failures, the clock, calendar and all data shall be supported for a period of 20 days without an external supply connected; 5.5.1.10 any "read" operation shall not delete or alter any stored metered data; and 5.5.1.11 an Outstation shall provide all of the metered data stored from the commencement of any specified date upon request by the Settlement Instation.

Outstation. An Outstation system shall be provided which transfers data to and receives data from any a Settlement Instation. Where a single separate Outstation is provided for storing data for more than one circuit, circuit the maximum aggregated capacity shall be 100 MVA. Where more than one separate Outstation is provided provided, the main Meter and check Meter data shall be stored in different Outstations. Superseded The Outstation data shall be to a format and protocol approved by Scottish Settlements. The Outstation shall facilitate the metering data to be read by any instations other than the Settlement Instation provided the requirements of Section 7 of this Code are satisfied. For the purpose of transferring stored metering data from the Outstation to the Settlement Instation Instation, a unique Outstation identification code shall be provided. Normally metering data will be collected by the Settlement Instation Instations by a daily interrogation, but repeat collections of metering data shall be possible throughout the Outstation data storage period. If not integral, the Outstation system supply shall either be from a secure supply, supply or from a measurement VT VT, with separate fusing for each Outstation. Where a separate modem associated with the Outstation system is used, then it shall be provided with a separately fused supply either from a secure supply or from a measurement VT (See see Section 5). Alternatively, line or battery powered modem types may be used. 5.5.1 Data storage: Data storage facilities for metering data shall be provided as follows:- 5.5.1.1 each Demand Value shall be identifiable to its respective date and time;; Superseded 5.5.1.2 a storage capacity of 48 periods per day for a minimum of 20 days for all Demand Values; (See Values as defined in Section 4.1.2). The stored values shall be integer multiples of kW and kvar; 5.5.1.3 the stored Demand Values shall be integer values of kW or kVAr, and have a resolution of better than ±0.1% (at full load); 5.5.1.4 the accuracy of the energy values derived from Demand Values transferred into the demand registers shall be within ±0.1% (at full load) of the amount of energy measured by the associated Meter; Superseded; 5.5.1.5 5.5.1.4 the value of any energy measured in a Demand Period but not stored in that Demand Period shall be carried forward to the next Demand Period; 5.5.1.6 5.5.1.5 where a separate Outstation is used, cumulative register values shall be provided in the Outstation which can shall be set to match and increment with the Meter Registers; 5.5.1.7 5.5.1.6 in the event of an Outstation supply failure, the Outstation shall protect all data stored up to the time of the failure, and maintain the time accuracy in accordance with Section 5.5.2; 5.5.1.8 5.5.1.7 partial Demand Values, those in which an Outstation supply failure and/or restoration occurs, and zero Demand Values associated with an Outstation supply failure, shall be marked so that the Settlement Instation can identify them; 5.5.1.9 5.5.1.8 to cater for continuous supply failures, the clock, calendar and all data shall be supported for a period of 20 days without an external supply connected; 5.5.1.10 5.5.1.9 any "read" operation shall not delete or alter any stored metered data; andand Superseded 5.5.1.11 5.5.1.10 an Outstation shall provide all of the metered data stored from the commencement of any specified date upon request by the Settlement Instation.
