The progress schedule for Pilot project is as follows. Firstly, as a preparation step a specification overview for DAS applied in Indonesia, Pilot Project design and Pilot Project contract with KDN are conducted by KEPCO. Next step of materials purchase and installation, PLN carried out a reinforcement work for the weak facilities to be installed S/W and they were checked by KEPCO.

Communication in DAS is very important in terms of correct operation and efficiency, so we assigned lots of time to the step of communication normality.

From first a overview and sensitivity measuring of local communication method used in common to final communication test, we continued studying and testing to find a suitable method for TDAS out of the diverse communication methods.

2 times training for DAS will be conducted for operator and manager, first was conducted in April 2007 and the other is done in June 2007. Trial run for DAS will be done until september 2007 and then completed in October.

The reason of long term trial run for about 4 to 5 months is to minimize the human mistake and lots of error in program which can be occurred when DAS is operated firstly as KEPCO, to revise and complement the problem occurred in operation and also to foster the skills and ability to overcome of operator or manager.
