Why Are Engineering Efficiency and Intelligent Design Important?

• 10% of a typical utility’s revenues is spent on designing, building, operating and maintaining substations

• Even small changes in engineering efficiency can lead to substantial savings

PECO $45M New electric transmission substation (U.S., 2009)

SP PowerSystems $16M Substation re-build ( Scotland, 2009-12)

Consolidated Edison Co. $347MNew substation installations and equipment (New York, 2009)

Kuwait $400M Three new substations

Qatar €500M 14 gas-insulated substations

Powerlink A$15M Substation upgrade (Australia, 2009)

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



= Poor use of valuable resources

Other Issues Beyond the Designer’s CAD Environment



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
