Initial efforts under the program involved creating national technical interconnection standards, establishing research and development programs to address system integration technologies documenting regulatory and institutional market barriers, and working with industry and state and federal policymakers to remove barriers. At that time, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) led these research activities for the DOE. Under this subcontract, Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO), a NiSource, Inc. Company, has developed a modernized Automated Energy Distribution and Reliability System (AEDR) based on geographical information system (GIS) technology. This integrated geographical database serves to enhance energy supply reliability and security by improving the integrity and accessibility of location data, while fostering public safety through sharing of utility location information with authorized government entities and other organizations. This modernization of the gas & electric infrastructure helps to assure safe, reliable, and affordable service to homes and businesses. This report details the efforts undertaken to implement the AEDR at NIPSCO and provides the interim status of the subcontract work. A future final status report will complete the documentation for this subcontract. While specific to NIPSCO’s requirements, there is sufficient information to provide individuals in the initial stages of their own GIS project with a conceptual strategy, answers to some common questions and enable the re-use of some of the materials provided. NIPSCO wishes to express sincerest gratitude for the funding assistance provided by the Department of Energy and the technical support received by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This project would not have been possible without their support. iii Table of Contents 1 Introduction....................................................................................................1 1.1 Background and Expectations................................................................1 1.2 AEDR Project Structure and Status Summary........................................2 2 Project Management......................................................................................5 2.1 Overview.................................................................................................5 2.2 Project Resource Organization...............................................................5 2.2.1 Project Resource Responsibilities ...................................................5 2.2.1.1 Project Sponsor........................................................................5 2.2.1.2 Project Manager.......................................................................5 2.2.1.3 Team Lead ...............................................................................6 2.3 Project Methodology...............................................................................7 2.3.1 Project Activities and Schedule Development .................................7 2.4 Cost Estimating ......................................................................................7 2.5 Risk Management...................................................................................9 2.6 Software and Hardware Analysis............................................................9 2.6.1 Software Analysis............................................................................9 2.6.2 Hardware Analysis...........................................................................9 3 Vendor Selection .........................................................................................12 3.1 Overview...............................................................................................12 3.2 Scope ...................................................................................................12 3.3 Methodology.........................................................................................12 3.4 Conclusion............................................................................................17 4 Immediate Conceptual Architecture (Phase I) .............................................19 4.1 Detailed Functional Analysis.................................................................19 4.1.1 Objectives of Functional Analysis..................................................19 4.1.2 Project Scope ................................................................................20 4.1.3 Functional Requirements...............................................................20 4.1.3.1 Functional Requirements Summary .......................................21 4.1.4 System / Software Requirements ..................................................22 4.2 Data Rectification .................................................................................25 4.2.1 Data Rectification Overview ..........................................................25 4.2.2 Imagery and Coordinate System ...................................................25 4.2.3 NIPSCO’s Data .............................................................................25 4.2.4 Rectification Services ....................................................................26 4.2.4.1 Landbase Data Requirements................................................26 4.2.4.2 Pilot Project ............................................................................29 4.2.4.3 Data Rectification Process .....................................................30 4.2.5 Data Rectification Conclusion........................................................30 4.3 Data Migration ......................................................................................31 4.3.1 Overview .......................................................................................31 4.3.2 The Data........................................................................................31 4.3.2.1 Land Data...............................................................................32 4.3.2.2 Gas Data ................................................................................32 4.3.2.3 Electric Data...........................................................................32 iv 4.3.3 The Data Migration Process ..........................................................32 4.3.3.1 The Iterative Approach to Data Migration...............................33 4.3.3.2 Acceptance Criteria ................................................................34 4.3.4 Data Migration Requirements........................................................35

  • The File Cmfonts.Fdd for Use with Latex2ε
    The file cmfonts.fdd for use with LATEX 2".∗ Frank Mittelbach Rainer Sch¨opf 2019/12/16 This file is maintained byA theLTEX Project team. Bug reports can be opened (category latex) at https://latex-project.org/bugs.html. 1 Introduction This file contains the external font information needed to load the Computer Modern fonts designed by Don Knuth and distributed with TEX. From this file all .fd files (font definition files) for the Computer Modern fonts, both with old encoding (OT1) and Cork encoding (T1) are generated. The Cork encoded fonts are known under the name ec fonts. 2 Customization If you plan to install the AMS font package or if you have it already installed, please note that within this package there are additional sizes of the Computer Modern symbol and math italic fonts. With the release of LATEX 2", these AMS `extracm' fonts have been included in the LATEX font set. Therefore, the math .fd files produced here assume the presence of these AMS extensions. For text fonts in T1 encoding, the directive new selects the new (version 1.2) DC fonts. For the text fonts in OT1 and U encoding, the optional docstrip directive ori selects a conservatively generated set of font definition files, which means that only the basic font sizes coming with an old LATEX 2.09 installation are included into the \DeclareFontShape commands. However, on many installations, people have added missing sizes by scaling up or down available Metafont sources. For example, the Computer Modern Roman italic font cmti is only available in the sizes 7, 8, 9, and 10pt.
