1 Introduction – Scope
This specification refers to the provision of a number of Telecontrol RTUs for
Telecommanding and Fault Detection purposes for the supervision of indoors MV/LV
substations, connected to the MV network of HEDNO.
The distribution network (3-phase balanced) is composed of 150/20KV (Yy0)
transformers in primary substations and 20(or 15)/0,4KV (Dy11) transformers in
secondary substations of HEDNO and customers, connected through underground
and overhead lines.
The neutral node is solidly grounded at the sending end at the HV/MV
substation (MV node of HV/MV substation), through a resistance limiting the single
phase earth fault current to 1000A. The MV network has the following
characteristics:
 Nominal system voltage: 15 kV and 20 kV.
 Maximum system voltage: 24 kV.
 Rated frequency: 50 Hz.
 Short circuit withstanding level (Symmetrical 3-phase fault level): 9,6kA
(15kV) – 7,2kA (20kV).
There are 1 or 2 MV/LV transformers of nominal power 630kVA or 1000kVA
each, at the secondary substations. The LV network that departs from the
transformers is three-phase 50Hz of rated voltage 230 / 400V with 4 conductors
and a grounded neutral node, with grounding method either TT or TN-S.

located in building basements, underneath street pavements or dedicated buildings.

2.1 Telecontrolled equipment

The equipment that shall be remotely or locally controlled and/or supervised
includes:
 1 or 2 MV LB clusters of 2,3 or 4 breakers each. Each cluster also includes 1
MV/LV transformer fuse-protected breaker for the protection of the 20/0,4kV
transformer, which is not to be controlled by the RTU. Each LB cluster’s
control status (Local/Remote) shall be fed to the RTU as a double digital
signal (See Table 4 par.6.4).
 Underground MV 3-phase lines of (NAEKEBA 3X240 RM) or (NA2XS2Y
3X240/25+25AL) cables, connected at MV cubicles in straight-type
terminations.

 signaling voltage, for wet digital inputs
 24VDC supply for 4-20mA analog input(-s) of par. 6.2.2.3 (if applicable)
 operational voltage for the communication module and
 the local controller itself.
Each abovementioned circuit shall have its own overcurrent protection, which may
involve self-resetting devices (employing for example PTC thermistors) in line with a
mandatory hand-resettable device. This device shall be either a thermal magnetic
circuit breaker or changeable fuse and shall be commercially available and not be of
a proprietary design. All DC circuits shall be protected against reverse polarity input.
The power supply circuitry shall be equipped with over-power and over-temperature
protection. The selection of the power supply scheme shall be such that the

The RTU shall not allow simultaneous operation of two or more LBs. The LBs’
operating (DC) current peak is ~12A (~5-10ms from 0A to peak – solenoid
operation) followed by constant current ~6A (~2-8sec duration, depending on the
LB manufacturer). These figures stand for both 24V & 48VDC LB clusters.
The quantities of each type (48 or 24VDC) are:
85% of the total amount of RTUs purchased shall be rated at 48VDC.
15% of the total amount of RTUs purchased shall be rated at 24VDC.
Nevertheless, the contractor shall have ensured that conversion of one type to
another (48 to 24V and vice versa) is a well-documented and technically accepted
procedure. Related parts (e.g. Power Supply, etc.) shall be included in the spare
parts list (see chapter 14) along with detailed documentation about the technical
characteristics and the conversion process.
Acceptable implementation is also the following:
 RTU inherently supports both voltages, set locally by e.g. a dip switch or via
the parameterization process (locally, via the control panel only).

9.3 Electrical Supply Backup system

In case of 230VAC network power failure, there shall be suitable battery
supply for the continuous supply to the relevant circuits of par.9.1. Means for the
recharging of the battery(-ies) shall be included in the RTU and shall employ

(deep discharge), which may damage the batteries. Appropriate alarm must be
generated and transmitted (several minutes before the cut-off) to the SCADA CCS.
The charging status of the batteries shall be monitored and tested
automatically. The battery system shall incorporate a temperature compensated
battery load test facility, which on-demand (at least remotely, that is, from the
CCS) or at preset time intervals:
 draws power needed for RTU’s and external devices’ operation for a preset
time duration from the battery(-ies) and
 monitors the battery’s(-ies’) voltage drop during this time.
Apart from the load test, the voltage across the battery terminals shall be
monitored.
The battery types provided shall have such external dimensions and electrical
characteristics, as of batteries commercially available and not be of a proprietary
design.

9.4 Communication module

A 12 VDC power supply shall be provided for the communication module. It
shall be monitored and controlled locally or remotely (par.8.5). In case of a
configurable number of successive communication failures with the CCS, RTU shall
cut the power to this output for a few seconds and then resupply the module.
Restarting the RTU (locally or remotely) shall involve cutting this power supply, too.

the tests will be carried out as well as the number of samples, shall be proposed
from the Supplier to be approved by HEDNO’s Inspection Service within two (2)
weeks from the successful execution of the tests of paragraph 11.4 of this TD.
Simultaneously within this same time period, the Supplier shall have available
samples of the equipment (RTU, current sensor sets, etc.) ready to be shipped to
the test laboratory.
HEDNO will request the execution of the below mentioned type tests to the
test laboratory which will then send the results of the type tests directly to HEDNO.
In case of failure of the type tests the Supplier must first analyse and report
to HEDNO the reasons of the failure. After making the necessary changes, the
Supplier may submit new samples within one (1) month from the announcement of
the materials failure to him, for the repetition of the tests. In case of a failure on the
new samples HEDNO will terminate the Contract due to Supplier’s fault.
The cost of the tests shall be borne by HEDNO in case the results are
successful while in case of a failure their cost shall be borne by the Supplier. The
costs for the samples as well as their transport to the test laboratory will be charged
to the Supplier in both cases of results (failure or success of the tests).
During the period of the validity of the contract, no modification to the study,
planning and construction of the equipment is permitted. The specifications of the
pending technical issues during the finalization period of paragraph 16, which will be
made on the initiative of the HEDNO, are excluded. In case of any modifications
detected, in comparison to the documentation stated in par.16, HEDNO will
terminate the Contract due to Supplier’s fault.

 11.3 Sample tests (Factory Acceptance Tests - FAT)
These tests shall be performed in presence of HEDNO’s personnel at the
manufacturer’s premises, prior to delivery, after successful routine testing
performed on each specimen of the batch done by the Supplier.
The assigned HEDNO’s inspector shall select a random sample from any lot
under delivery based on IEC 410 plans, simple sampling, normal inspection,
inspection level I, AQL=2,5%, on which all the routine tests described in the
paragraph 11.2 shall be successfully carried out.
Also a full operation check must be carried out to ensure that the system
(cabinet, RTU etc.) operates according to the present TD. Operational checking
must be done using simulation techniques at the premises of the Supplier.
The Supplier has to propose the procedure and duration of such tests.
HEDNO has the right to modify these procedures, up to 30 days prior to the
inspection period.

11.4 Sample approval regarding its communication and

functionality capabilities
The following tests shall be carried out after the end of the finalization period
of the equipment designs. The Supplier shall deliver a sample RTU of Type 1 and a
sample RTU of Type 3, which shall be accompanied by the necessary equipment
and conversion instructions to type 2 and 4 RTUs, respectively, a sample protocol
converter and the simulating devices of chapter 13 of this TD in order to
demonstrate his successful communication with existing HEDNOS’S SCADA Central
Control System (CCS) types (of Telegyr TG8000, EFACEC SCATEX+) as well as to
demonstrate the compliance of RTU’s functionalities to the requirements of this TD.
The Supplier will also submit complete equipment documentation (so HEDNO’s
personnel may familiarize with the equipment and be able to follow the tests) and
also the list of the tests to be made and the test equipment used. All the above-
mentioned equipment with the documentation stated in par.16, shall be delivered to
HEDNO’s warehouse within eight (8) weeks from the end of the finalization period of
the equipment designs.
After that, HEDNO will move the equipment to its Inspection Service and with
the continuous presence of Supplier’s personnel, the samples will be connected to
the CCSs and a full complement of tests will be carried out. These tests will last
three (3) weeks (two (2) weeks for the communication demonstration with the two
(2) types of HEDNO’s CCSs – one (1) week per CCS type – and one (1) week for
the functionality tests with one of the SCADA system). During the tests period, the
Supplier will have the opportunity to make any corrections and adjustments to the
HW and SW offered, in order to achieve the required performance.
During communications tests HEDNO reserves the right to ask for any kind of
test it considers necessary to prove that the equipment communicates properly with
the HEDNO’s CCSs and thus increase its confidence to the offered solution. All the
communication infrastructure and equipment (SIM cards, GPRS routers etc.)
needed shall be provided by HEDNO.
The functionality tests will follow the successful communication test’s
demonstration. During this phase the Supplier will demonstrate the equipment’s
functionality compliance with the requirements of the TD. The tests will include all

3 Page 34 of 49

4
the functions which the equipment is made to perform in accordance to TD’s
requirements described in Chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9.
If HEDNO find out problems that have occurred in this 3-week period, due to
Supplier’s culpability, which justify an extension of the duration of the tests’ period,
the tests may be repeated. The repetition of the tests could last three (3) additional
weeks at maximum, beginning at the end of the first period. This additional period
shall include the time required for correcting any problems in the RTU software and
hardware that have arisen during the tests. Any problems found shall be solved
without any additional cost for HEDNO.
The test period(s) shall be extended proportionally to every justified delay
caused by Force Majeure or HEDNO’s responsibility (equipment or SCADA system
preparation, etc.).
In case where, upon expiry of the fourteen (8+3+3) weeks period and any
possible necessary justified time period due to force majeure or HEDNO’s
responsibility, the samples have not been delivered to HEDNO or they failed to pass
the aforementioned tests, HEDNO will terminate the Contract due to Supplier’s
fault.
It is stated that the Supplier will have to cover the expenses of its personnel
during the period of the aforementioned tests.

11.5 Validity of the contractual delivery time

The contractual time of equipment delivery will begin on the issuing date of
the results of successful type tests of paragraphs 11.1 and 11.1.1 by the test
Laboratory. It is clarified that the time required for testing, issue of the relevant test
reports and tests evaluation, will be excluded from the delivery schedule, i.e. the
delivery time will be extended equally to the time required for the testing. The
extension of the delivery time concerning the time required for the tests, concerns
all the partial deliveries and not only the first one.
The above contractual delivery time is valid only if the Supplier respects the
contractual time concerning the finalization of equipment designs and the submittal
of the samples for the execution of the tests of paragraph 11.4 (8 weeks) as well as
the contractual time concerning its proposal for the execution of the type tests of
paragraphs 11.1 and 11.1.1 (Test Laboratory, tests time schedule, test standards
followed, number of samples) and the sample’s availability, namely 2 weeks from
the successful execution of the tests of paragraph 11.4 for the first samples plus 4
weeks for the improved sample in case the first sample has been rejected (see
attached Figure 2). In case of delay in the submittal of the aforementioned samples
and data, the issuing date of the results of successful type tests by the test
Laboratory shall not be considered a starting point of the contractual delivery time
but a previous date for a time period equal to the delay of the aforementioned
samples and data.

done by staff of HEDNO or its subcontractors, in presence of the Supplier who shall
oversee the procedure and shall provide the necessary instructions for the proper
installation of the units, without extra charges for HEDNO.
This procedure will serve as an additional hands-on/on-site training. Batteries
required for these units of the type stated in par. 9.3, shall be also delivered with
them. Specifically, these units shall be installed on each of the following Regional
Departments of HEDNO:
 Regional Department of Attica,
 Regional Department of Macedonia-Thrace,
 Regional Department of Peloponnese - Epirus,
 Regional Department of Central Greece and
 Regional Department of the Islands.
Programming the RTUs and their modems as well as their integration with
the existing SCADA systems of HEDNO (Telegyr TG8000, EFACEC SCATEX +) shall
be implemented by staff of HEDNO, in cooperation with the Supplier’ staff, which
will provide technical support for communication and interoperability issues that

4 Page 41 of 49

1
may arise and by this way it will be also trained for future problem solving
concerning this type of work, in terms of the guarantee services mentioned in
Chapter 20.
The aforementioned work will be accomplished within three (3) months upon
receipt of the equipment associated with the first (1st) partial delivery to the
Warehouses of HEDNO's Regional Departments in Attica, Thessaloniki, Patras and
Lamia. It is estimated that the receipt of materials will have been completed within
two (2) months upon their delivery to the Central reception Warehouse of HEDNO.
The work will be ensured by the relevant Sections of the Network Department
(Network Operations and Maintenance Section and Distribution Network’s Control
Centers Section) in collaboration with staff of the relevant Departments of HEDNO
(Regional Departments) and the Supplier.
The installation works’ program and schedule will be sent to the Supplier
within five (5) days upon the initial delivery of the equipment to HEDNO’s Central
Warehouse and it will contain analytical information concerning the equipment
installation dates and exact locations. The Supplier must take into consideration
that maximum two simultaneous installations per day may take place in all regions
of HEDNO. The Supplier shall provide analytical instructions concerning the
equipment installation details prior to the receipt of the equipment to HEDNO’s
warehouses. After the successful installation and operation of the 40 units and the
successful functional tests, a SAD (Site Acceptance Document) will be signed
between the Supplier and HEDNO. The Supplier will have to cover the expenses of
its personnel during this period.
The work of programming of the remaining RTUs and their modems for all
other RTUs of the Declaration, as well as their integration to the CCS system of
HEDNO, shall be implemented as indicated in Chapter 19 of this TD.

19 Works for programming of the RTUs & their

modems as well as their integration to the CC
systems of HEDNO
The works of programming of the RTUs of the Declaration, except the first
forty (40) units of Chapter 18, as well as their integration to the CCS systems of
HEDNO, will be fully implemented by HEDNO’s competent personnel according to
the following steps in order to expedite equipment delivery to operations:
a) The RTUs shall be delivered by the Supplier to the Central Warehouse of HEDNO
in Athens with pre-configured communication settings (e.g. LAN port
configuration). The RTUs shall allow remote parameterization via a web
interface or equivalent configuration and programming software tool (see §8.2,
7.1, 6.2.3). In this way, the IEC protocol settings (IEC 60870-5-104 protocol
mappings and selected points) as well as the customized (number of LBs
controlled and monitored, fault detection etc.) and logic settings per RTU
location shall be sent remotely to the RTU, after its placement in the network
(see attached Figure 1). It is the responsibility of the Supplier to provide the
fully configured template of the above settings that HEDNO will use to perform
the abovementioned tasks.

4 Page 42 of 49

b) The work of integrating the RTUs of each partial delivery to the CCS of the
SCADA systems will be carried out en masse to the CCS sites of the Regional
Departments of HEDNO in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and Lamia. These works
are primarily concerned with the updating of the software and the database of
the CCS with new data and secondly in testing the communication and the
proper display of signals. For carrying out these works, programmed modems of
HEDNO together with the simulator (Chapter 13) and a sample of RTU shall be
used. The sample of RTU shall be programmed each time according to the
location where each RTU is intended to be installed, including the number and
type of LBs to be controlled, fault detection and logic and communication
protocol settings. In case the installation site involves 4 LBs, expansion cards
shall be installed from the RTU accessories set of the 1st delivery, in the sample
RTU. Then, the RTU will be connected to the corresponding to that location
modem and using the simulator, all entities of the database corresponding to
this RTU will be tested. After the successful completion of these tests, the final
settings file will be stored in a database within the configuration and
programming software tool (see §8.2, 7.1, 6.2.3) so that it can be retrieved and
sent remotely (partly, e.g. selected classes/groups of settings, or as a whole) to
the associated RTU after its installation in the network.

20 Guarantee
The guarantee period will be three (3) years at maximum for all units
supplied. The guarantee period will start from the date of installation and shall not
exceed five (5) years from the date of delivery. According to the above mentioned,
the warranty period shall expire five years after receipt of the equipment, or three
years after its installation on the network, whichever comes first. The serial number
regarding the equipment's installation shall be delivered by HEDNO to the Supplier
each semester. On this file the serial number, the date and the location of RTU's
installation shall be referred.
The Supplier must be fully responsible for the proper operation of all the
units for the guaranteed period. During the guarantee time period the Supplier, free
of charge shall:
 Correct any RTU SW fault which will be found. The same is also valid for the
protocol converter SW.
 Correct any communication problems that may arise (due to the equipment
supplied).
 Correct any error or omission which will be found in the documentation.
 Respond to any information required by HEDNO.
 Make any modification requested, which will improve the RTU's compliance to
the specifications.
In the case of RTU and protocol converter SW malfunctions, HEDNO's
personnel has performed all checks, according to the training and documents
received, in order to solve the problem. If the fault reasons are not identified or
solved, then an onsite intervention of the Supplier shall be required.
Regarding the interventions to correct any RTU and protocol converter SW
fault the following will apply:

4 Page 43 of 49

  Maximum time for answering to HEDNO (notice of a problem) to the
telephone, FAX or e-mail: 2 h, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Monday to Friday,
except official holidays, as they apply to Greece.
 Maximum time between acknowledging the problem reported above by
HEDNO until the arrival to HEDNO's Local Unit in order to visit the site
escorted by HEDNO's personnel and identify the problem locally, if needed: 2
working days.
 Maximum time between on-site intervention and resolution of the problem
(return to repair conditions): 15 working days (in case the intervention has
to be supplied to all locations shall be concluded within 4 months).
Failure to provide support within the above mentioned times, will incur a fine
of 240,00€ per day of delay. For intermediate delays (e.g. hour) the fine will be
determined by linear interpolation. In case of simultaneous events the Supplier shall
proceed to interventions and corrective actions in a sequentially manner. The
Supplier won't be responsible for any delays regarding compliance with the
maximum times mentioned above, if those delays result from force majeure cases.
The Supplier shall notify HEDNO, by registered letter, in the advent of any situations
mentioned in the previous clause immediately or in any case within 15 days from
the occurrence date, if all other means were tried to avoid or minimize the delay in
the promised obligations.
The Supplier has the sole responsibility of employing its personnel according
to all the legal requirements and providing all personal and health insurance for
them. HEDNO could not be held liable for any injuries or compensation to the
personnel of the Supplier.
In case of equipment failure (controller, power supply, etc.) on the network
or in HEDNO's warehouses, HEDNO shall replace it with equipment that will get
from the stock of spare parts, which will be delivered with the 1st partial delivery of
the Tender's materials (see Chapter 14). The equipment which has failed on the
network shall be carried by HEDNO’s crews to HEDNO's Regional Warehouses to be
checked for finding the causes of failure. The failure will be announced immediately
to the Supplier (e.g. the place where the equipment had operated, the warehouse
where it has been transferred etc.) regardless of the results of the check performed
by HEDNO to ascertain the causes of failure (1st failure announcement, regardless of
the causes of failure). The check of the causes of the failure shall be performed by
HEDNO within 1 month from the date of the 1st announcement of failure to the
Supplier. If the check reveals that the failure is due to the Supplier’s fault, this will
be announced to the Supplier, within this period of 1 month (2nd failure
announcement, failure due to Supplier’s fault).
Regardless of the causes of the failure, the Supplier must make the provision
to replace within three months from the date of the 1rst failure announcement all
the materials used, for replacing of damaged from the stock of HEDNO's spare
parts, with new ones. For each month that delays the timely replacement of the
materials used by the stock of HEDNO's spare parts, the price of materials will be
retained by the letter of guarantee. For intermediate delays (days) the fine will be
determined by linear interpolation. The delivery of these materials by the Supplier
must be made with packaging similar to that provided by this TD.
Within two months from the date of the announcement of the failure due to
the Supplier (2nd failure announcement, failure due to the Supplier), the Supplier
has the right to demand in writing the presence of his representative during

4 Page 44 of 49

4
reexamination of the causes of failure. This reexamination must take place within
this period of two months. In case that the Supplier within the aforementioned
period of two months does not make any request to be present during the
reexamination of the causes of failure, or does not attend despite his relevant
declaration, it shall be considered as a fact that he unreservedly acknowledges
himself as responsible to for this failure. Furthermore, if the Supplier within this
period of two months does not throw any doubt concerning the failure of the
equipment it shall be considered as a fact that he unreservedly acknowledges
himself as responsible to for this failure.
During reexamination of the causes of failure a relevant Control Report shall
be drawn in duplicate and signed by both Supplier and HEDNO. This report shall
state the cause of the failure that was ascertained and the Supplier shall declare
that he acknowledges it. In cases of disagreement the matter shall be referred for
further judgment by a Committee consisting of the Head of Technical Division
Section of HEDNO's Network Department or his substitute, the Head of Inspection
Section of the HEDNO's Material, Purchasing & Transportation Department or his
substitute, as well as of the Head of the Supplier's Study Office or other
representative of him. In cases of disagreement and until the Committee comes to
a decision, the Supplier is deemed responsible for the failure. The acknowledgement
from the part of the Supplier of the equipment failure ceases to have any legal
effect from the moment the Committee judges that the failure in question is not due
to the Supplier's responsibility.
In case that the equipment failure is due to the Supplier's responsibility:
 The cost of the materials to be supplied by the Supplier to replace the
materials taken from the stock of spare parts, for replacing of damaged,
shall be borne entirely by the Supplier.
 The Supplier is obliged to accept the failed equipment from HEDNO's
Regional Warehouse, within two (2) months from the date of recognition,
as above, by the Supplier that the failure is due to him, and to transfer it
to his factory or to a factory of his choice. The cost of this transportation
shall be borne entirely by the Supplier. In case of delay beyond of 2
months, HEDNO is entitled to send the equipment failed in the Supplier's
factory, and the transportation cost shall burden the Supplier.
 All replacements, transportation and loading/uploading costs of the
damaged equipment from HEDNO's workshops to HEDNO's Regional
Warehouse as well as the transportation and loading/uploading cost from
HEDNO's Regional Warehouse to the Supplier's factory, if these are carried
out by HEDNO, shall be borne by the Supplier entirely and shall be
retained by the letter of guarantee.
Replacement, transportation and loading/uploading costs of the damaged
equipment, for replacing of the damaged equipment from another one, are
calculated in accordance with HEDNO's Contracts that were signed with Contractors
involved in the construction of distribution networks or upon final account.
In case of transportation of the damaged equipment from the HEDNO's
Regional Warehouse to the Supplier's factory, transportation costs shall be
calculated in accordance with applicable decisions of the Ministers of Commerce and
Transportations being in force or upon final account.
These costs shall be notified to the Supplier immediately after he has
received the damaged equipment or after it is sent at his factory by HEDNO.
