Feasibility Study under “Establishment of Power Disaster Distribution Automation /SCADA-ADMS System in BREB Distribution Network” Project for 13 (Thirteen) PBS.

BREB currently lacks a significant number of data storage and presentation systems. There is no sensor connection over the broad region for various monitoring and regulating operations. As a result, saving electricity is difficult due to the lack of an advanced optimization system. Data can be monitored from anywhere using the defined protocols and application software. The SCADA (ADMS) project contributes to BREB’s strategic aim of reducing network losses and improving end-user power supply (customers). When completed, the SCADA system will be large enough to cover the entire BREB network as well as any future extensions.

The scope of work of the EIA includes:

§  Review of relevant all documents and data/information from secondary sources, and identifies gaps to be filled, relevant to the environmental screening needs from field surveys.

§  Provide a description of the environmental baseline.

§  Represent the field surveys where include baseline (air, noise, surface water and ground/drinking water) environmental quality monitoring at representative and sensitive locations, and identification of macro-level environmental issues within the Sub-project’s influence area.

§  Conduct preliminary analysis of impacts and management measures of the nature, scale and magnitude of the impacts that the sub-project is likely to cause on the environment and classify the same using established methods.

§  Develop Environmental Management Plan (EMP) including Monitoring Plan for successfully implementing the mitigation/enhancement measures.

Prepare an EIA report in accordance with the DOE safeguard policies and guidelines and approved TOR.
