Serbia’s transmission system operator (TSO), Elektromreža Srbije (EMS), has invited bids for producing a feasibility study on using artificial intelligence (AI) in the approval process for construction in the vicinity of its facilities, which include power substations, switching stations, and overhead power lines.

EMS is legally required to issue its consent for the construction or legalization of any buildings located in the protected zone of its power facilities.

In order to streamline the approval process, increase end-user satisfaction, and optimize the use of employee resources, EMS has decided to invest in automating the procedure for issuing conditions and consent by using state-of-the-art AI solutions, according to the invitation to bid.

The study needs to determine how AI solutions would be integrated with existing services

The public procurement pertains to consulting services aimed at identifying functional requirements and existing services within EMS that AI solutions need to integrate with, as well as developing a feasibility study for the project.

The study must contain a description of the solution, its functionality, architecture, and infrastructure as well as details on the proposed approach and development costs. The document should also describe details of how AI would be integrated with existing EMS services.

The job also requires giving an estimate of the AI integration costs

The deadline for prospective consultants to submit bids is December 2, 2024, according to the invitation.

Once the consultant is selected and hired, a team formed by EMS will actively participate in activities such as joint workshops, interviews with employees, and technical assessments in order to help identify functional requirements, security needs, and other specific system needs, reads the invitation.

Serbia’s transmission system, operated by EMS, consists of overhead power lines, cables, substations, and switching stations of 400 kV, 220 kV and 110 kV, except 110 /х kV substations which are part of the power distribution system, according to EMS’ website.
