Why Are Engineering Efficiency

and Intelligent Design Important?
10% of a typical utilitys revenues is spent
on designing, building, operating and
maintaining substations
Even small changes in engineering
efficiency can lead to substantial savings

Plain CAD for Substation Design

Designers forced to do extra work:
Tedious CAD drawing steps
Manual cross referencing of
schematic symbols
Manual take-off of cable schedules
Manual take-off of bills of material
Manual take-off of point-to-point
wire lists
Manual error checking
and correction
Page management
Data re-entry
Lack of 3D Substation Model

2D views of the physical design are
difficult to draft
2D views are difficult to
interpret
Interference errors
Difficulty in
getting approvals
Other Issues Beyond the

Designers CAD Environment
= Poor use of valuable resources

What Is Needed?
A design tool specifically for substations:
Integrates physical design with
electrical design
Uses intelligent information
models
Facilitates collaborative
workflows
Provides 100% accurate, complete
documentation automatically
