capable of providing the specified accuracy without the need for IEEE 1588-compliant
network equipment required for higher accuracy systems. Devices shall support the
Simple PTP Profile (based on End-to-End Default Profile defined in IEEE 1588, Annex J)
to achieve the specified performance and scalability.
3. Precision Time Reference. The first SER shall accept its time source via IRIG-B or
DCF77 (from a GPS receiver/clock) or via NTP or Modbus TCP over Ethernet. This SER
shall in turn serve as PTP grandmaster for all other CyTime SERs and other PTP-
compatible devices, with automatic synchronization of PTP slaves to within 100
microseconds. A minimum of 100 PTP slaves shall be supported by any device serving as
PTP grandmaster.

actions for system improvement.
1. Basic support via telephone and email during regular business hours to provide technical
guidance, incident diagnosis, basic troubleshooting, and “how-to” instructions to operate
installed software and hardware.
2. Periodic reports with system optimization recommendations and actionable work orders.
3. Benchmark the site with ‘system score’ showing percentage of the load potentially
impacted or affected. Setup of metering hierarchy in the Power Advisor is required for the
benchmark to be relevant. The relationship between the metering instruments in the
system is highly relevant and needed.
4. Increase power reliability with identified electrical network issues prioritized on severity
providing both executive report and detailed report on a periodic basis.
5. Optimize the system with periodic recommendations to improve data quality and system
performance. Customer to stipulate period but quarterly or monthly is recommended.
6. On-demand self-paced training with energy management, metering infrastructure, and
power quality content modules.
7. Reserved (specifically named) support engineer as a “single point of contact” for
customer support. Direct access to Advanced level support with priority case escalation
to Expert level support as needed. System maintenance is proactive and periodic, on a
quarterly basis unless stipulated otherwise.
8. Emergency after-hours support with guaranteed response within four hours (when
specified).
9. Software Assurance including service packs and upgrade licenses for installed EPMS
software (upgrade-commissioning-services when specified). Software diagnostics to be
periodically reported providing (disc usage, server health, communication status)
10. Power Analysis Diagnostic Report including results of remote diagnostics to assess
EPMS system health including but not limited to configuration, data accuracy, and
communications infrastructure.
11. Periodic monitoring of EPMS edge server and software to proactively alert for system
problems. Includes Power Advisor System Analytics and Power Advisor electrical
network analysis.
12. Onsite maintenance including system repairs, database maintenance, firmware upgrades,
and software installations. Training on system operation is provided during onsite
maintenance visit by an application engineer.

13. Provide ISO50001-4.6.1 Energy Management System representation aids validation and
recording (enables the organization to achieve and/or maintain an ISO 9001 quality
management system rating).
14. The power advisor service leverages the existing client equipment and communications
network. The advisor platform is operated by experts trained in electrical distribution and
power quality management. The client’s internal networks, internet connection, firewalls
and other security measures are the client’s responsibility. The power advisor service
does not modify any data or control any devices, it is read only.
3.02 SERVICES—TRAINING
A. The vendor shall have capabilities to deliver a full suite of training solutions focused on the
operation, maintenance, and optimization of the customer's EPMS system. These training
solutions shall address initial training needs and sustainment training needs for the customer
and shall include the following:
1. Training delivered by experienced Instructors proficient in teaching the topics for the
various courses and who have direct experience with the installed equipment.
2. Majority of the training is hands-on (up to 80 %) with the equipment. Each student has
access to their own mini power monitoring system by way of an electrical metering demo
case, direct Ethernet communication, and laptop running applicable metering software, or
by way of a virtual server if doing the class remotely (not applicable for self paced on
demand training).
3. Training manuals shall be provided to each student attending the class and include an
agenda, defined objectives for each lesson, a detailed description of the subject matter
for each lesson, and descriptive labs to complete the hands-on exercises.
4. Training content, depending on the topic, can cover the functionality and operation of
electric meters, the definition and use of various metering data (such as energy, demand,
power factor, load profile, time of use, KYZ, etc.), the communication methods applied in
various design topologies, and the function and operation of the applicable metering
software.
B. Training options can include but are not limited to:

1. Self paced on demand training on energy management, metering infrastructure, and
power quality.
2. At client’s site, hands-on training using power monitoring equipment involving hardware
and relevant software to train the user to implement operate and maintain the power
monitoring system.
3. Instructor led remote web based training wherein the user has real time interaction with
trainer and gets hands on training using virtual servers to performs labs and exercises.
4. At Schneider facility, hands on training on how to design, implement, and operate power
monitoring system.
5. If applicable, video recording services to coincide with custom client onsite training with
professional post production services providing the customer with a polished training DVD
custom to training on the client system.
