1.16.3 Usage of Facilities
All the formations of CEA continue to
make use of the existing computer facilities for
carrying out studies and day-to-day work. The
computer systems are extensively utilized by
technical wings of CEA for bringing out various
reports through complex engineering studies and
analysis. These facilities are also used for internet
communications, data transfer between CEA
and MoP, budgetary allocation and monitoring
and sanction/grant of loans/advances to CEA
personnel.
1.16.4 Upgradation of I.T. facilities in CEA
Govt. of India, Ministry of Power has
approved a scheme “Upgradation of I.T. facilities
in CEA” at an estimated cost of Rs. 9.52 Crores
(revised cost estimate Rs. 10.47 Crores). The
scheme provides for computers at each working
desk inter-connected through LAN and having
the facility of Internet. The scheme envisages
receiving data electronically from the utilities
online through CEA website by direct entry into
the database. To achieve the above, 14 No. of
servers of various types along with firewall and
intrusion detection system have been installed
at Data Centre in Sewa Bhawan. This setup
facilitates (a) a centralized and online database
for analyzing the data of Indian power sector
(b) project monitoring (c) interlinking various
databases of each division on relational basis for
sharing data among them (d) automatic uplinking
of information to CEA website, etc.
The work related to Data Centre and
installation of servers and system software
including establishment of LAN has already been
completed. The application software has been
developed and is under testing. Entry of daily
generation data into the IMS through Internet /
CEA website is being carried out by a number of
generating stations / companies of the country,
for whom short training sessions for the purpose
were arranged at CEA headquarters. Similar
training sessions were arranged for RPCs, RIOs,
TRANSCOs and DISCOMs to enable them
furnish monthly / quarterly / half-yearly / annual
information / data online through Internet.
