SIMARIS design efficient dimensioning

Savings potential in the planning stage SIMARIS design can be used to dimension electric power systems based on real products with a minimum of input from the medium-voltage level to the socket outlet. This software reduces your overall planning expenses for power distribution systems, minimizes the selection and dimensioning time for the necessary equipment, and offers a high degree of planning reliability into the bargain. Customized dimensioning Based on the requirements of the specific electric power distribution system, SIMARIS design safely and reliably dimensions a system solution from a broad product portfolio which is in compliance with all the relevant standards (VDE, IEC) and reflects the present state of the art in technology. Suitable components are selected automatically. So you can focus on the main issues of your planning. Time-consuming research of specific product data in catalogs is a thing of the past. In addition the software calculates the short-circuit current, load flow, voltage drop and the energy balance. Plus: the personal, shortcircuit and overload protection settings are performed automatically in line with the calculations made. Fast, safe and flexible Planning an electric power distribution system is always subject to considerable changes and adaptations both in the planning and in the implementation period. SIMARIS design integrates each modification into the supply concept and automatically checks its reliability against currently relevant standards and regulations. Consequently, you need not perform costly and time-consuming checks of standards yourself. In the later planning stages, for example, more detailed consumer data can be adjusted easily and quickly. Selectivity verification is often mandatory, for example for emergency power supply installations. With SIMARIS design professional you can create the verification automatically. Intelligent functions SIMARIS design furnishes you with a host of intelligent functions for setting up and dimensioning electric power systems. For example, it is possible to plan individual protection systems for parallel cable sections in incoming supply circuits. The network plan allows to create different types of couplings also at the sub-distribution level. Moreover you can easily add and edit busbar trunking systems, as well as entire motor starter combinations at the consumer level. For busbar systems and cables for power transport, the necessary preservation of functions can directly be considered during planning. Even lightning
and/or overvoltage protection can be taken into account in the planning phase if required. Convenient and straightforward Thanks to its user-friendly operation and its graphical user interface, you will intuitively find your way around SIMARIS design. The software provides excellent options for graphical editing of network diagrams. For direct project implementation, there are user-friendly options for documenting the results of the entire network dimensioning process e.g. a parts list of the necessary equipment or the network diagram in your desired format (PDF, DXF, DWG). With SIMARIS design professional, you can even export the project data and continue the planning of concrete plants in SIMARIS project. For global use Are you planning a project abroad? No problem, because SIMARIS design is available in about 20 languages. With the right selections it even takes account automatically of the corresponding technical and product-related specifications of the particular country. This software can therefore be used for power distribution projects across the globe. Thanks to planning with real product parameters, projects planned with SIMARIS design can be implemented safely. See for yourself how easy and fast it is to work with SIMARIS design. Should
any questions about dimensioning with SIMARIS design arise at any time, our regional contact persons will be happy to render personal on-site support: www.siemens.com/simaris/contact Additional features For advanced users, SIMARIS design professional provides additional functions: Parallel network operation: different power sources (e.g. transformers and generators) can be operated in the same network. Automatic selectivity evaluation: selectivity limits are displayed automatically in addition to the current-time characteristic and the respective envelope curves. Project export for further processing in SIMARIS project: determination of the space requirements of the distribution boards and establishment of the basis for the budget determination. Creating active and passive emergency power supply systems: integration of normal or directional couplings in the network plan also at the sub-distribution level. Possibility to compare and optimize the power loss of all determined components in the network plan, thus increasing the power efficiency. More information www.siemens.com/simarisdesign

Planning software tool SIMARIS project provides a quick overview of the space requirements inside the building for your power distribution system, from the medium-voltage level to the distribution board for electrical installations. You can thus quickly determine the budget and automatically create a technical specification. Easy, fast and straightforward In SIMARIS project, the following processes are visualized on the basis of the defined project structure and the basic technical data: For medium-voltage switchgear: selection of the required system and panels to get a front view with dimensions. For low-voltage switchboards and distribution boards: selection of the required protection and switching devices for each system. The required distribution boards are defined automatically on the basis of this device distribution list, they are equipped with the devices and presented in a front view with dimensions. Furthermore, there is the possibility of graphical planning for the low-voltage switchboards. For busbar trunking systems: after having selected the desired system, it is necessary to specify the length and to select the additionally required components. The resulting components are stated in a parts list. For transformers: selection of the respective required system and then the required quantity. Selected transformers are stated in a parts list.
Easy and reliable operation You need no detailed information on equipment or their order numbers, as SIMARIS project makes the choice automatically in compliance with the parameters entered. In doing so, the software factors in the wiring, control and measurement etc. for each switchgear assembly or distribution board. For busbar trunking systems, functional endurance can be taken into account, i.e. the Promat plates required for enclosing the busbars are automatically added to the bill of materials when the selection was done accordingly. The possibility to import the data of a network plan created with SIMARIS design professional saves reselecting the components in SIMARIS project. For extra timesavings: you can save typical variants of a system that has been planned in SIMARIS project and reimport them from the favorites library at a later stage for new projects. In addition, automatically drafted systems can subsequently be optimized or changed. Budgeting is possible with the help of a budget sheet. Alternatively, you can request a budget overview of all components of the electric power distribution by sending the project file to your contact person.
