PKA - 11 CES Automatic Generator Monitoring Devices

The Remote Generator Monitoring System is a new requirement designed to provide comprehensive monitoring of generator performance, including run-time hours, without requiring Internet connectivity with a required delivery date of 90 days ADC. The system is fully self-contained and operates independently, ensuring data security and accessibility even in remote locations. Data is stored locally, and a customized procedure is included to allow easy retrieval of information directly to a laptop via Microsoft Excel for analysis and reporting, without the need for specialized or proprietary software. This eliminates the complexities and potential vulnerabilities associated with cloud-based solutions.

The critical performance for this requirement will be the following; Provide an assessment as to whether the requirements are military unique or can be acquired to some degree in the commercial market sector. Identify as appropriate any critical and long lead schedule items which will impact contract performance and delivery requirements. Ability to store logged data locally and download data by connecting to laptop via cable (i.e. no cellular/internet network connection, no ethernet cables)

- Data is stored locally, and a customized procedure is included to allow easy retrieval of information directly to a laptop via Microsoft Excel for analysis and reporting, without the need for specialized or proprietary software

- No annual subscription/renewal fees for data storage or cellular connectivity

- Discrete alarm inputs

- Analog inputs

- Control relays

- Serial port

- Alert speakers and LCD display

The automatic monitoring devices are required to log the exact date, time, duration, and reason for every single operation of the generator. The generators themselves do not automatically log this information, and 11 CES does not have the manpower needed to monitor every single generator's operational status 24/7. Therefore, each unexpected operation of an emergency generator (i.e. unexpected utility outage) constitutes a permit violation.

JBAB's current inability to collect this information triggers Title V permit violations, which can each result in fines. The automatic monitoring devices, once installed, will log this information automatically which can then be downloaded by 11 CES Power Pro at any time. This will allow JBAB to return to compliance on violated permit conditions.

This requirement is for network-less devices (i.e. all data collected is stored locally). For ease of installation, use, and maintenance of the devices, on 11 WG emergency generators. The requirement does not allow for connectivity to cellular/internet networks or storage of sensitive information on the device manufacturer's cloud and is for network-less devices on all generators.
