Planning

Transmission And Distribution Planning

Integrated planning and analysis can help you make data-driven decisions that support storm hardening, risk mitigation, decentralized energy, and other modernization to better support future demand.

Plan for Modernization, Storms, or to Mitigate Wildfire Risks

Increase your overhead telecommunications and distribution system integrity. Ensure reliable service, reduce safety concerns, and optimize overhead financial investments.

Visualize and Analyze Distribution Networks

Integrate power systems analysis with geographic information system (GIS) data. Evaluate distribution grid performance models for accurate forecasting.

Design

Transmission And Distribution Design

Prepare your transmission and distribution systems to meet the demands for the next decade and beyond. This might require an evolution across teams, workflows, and technology to become a data-centric environment where decisions better support the needs of energy transition and address the increasing energy demand.

Integrate Transmission Overhead Power Line Design Processes

Save time associated with sharing simple to overly complex transmission projects with access to accurate structure usage, line clearances, vegetation clearances, thermal line ratings, plan and profile sheets, sag tension reports, staking data, construction documents managing all overhead line data in a single location for easy distribution to all departments and contractors regardless of location.

Improve Efficiency and Accuracy with 3D Substations

Reduce design time by 30% with reality modeling and intelligent design using the latest engineering rules and standards. With a single view of physical design and electric protection and controls you get improved accuracy, enhanced collaboration, faster turnaround times, and reduced costs.
