AI assessment
- I1.Meets
Does the on-line monitoring module support IEC 61850 Edition 2.1 reporting?
"Online DGA module with DNP3 / IEC 61850 reporting per Sec. 3.4 of the technical proposal."
Vendor declares both DNP3 and IEC 61850 — confirms interoperability with ACME SAS replatforming.
- I2.Partially meets
Tap changer position monitoring — analogue, digital, or fibre?
"MR VRC-2 vacuum on-load (HV)"
Conventional analogue monitoring — adequate but not preferred for the new SAS architecture.
- I3.Meets
Cybersecurity — IEC 62443 alignment for the embedded controller firmware?
"ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification — BV-IMS-DH-2025."
Vendor's QMS is ISO 27001 certified. SBOM disclosure to be requested at clarification stage.
- I4.Not addressed
Firmware version of monitoring relay and patching commitment?
⚠ This item was not addressed in the vendor's submission. Clarification required before any award decision.
Firmware revision and 5-year patching cadence are not addressed in the submission. Required as a contractual annex.
