Network Design & Technical Planning

Manage and optimize network design life cycles across the organization. Balance between cost-effectiveness and the electro-technical requirements. Understand system performance of both current and future network. Make field design and documentation efficient.
​​
​We offer solutions that combine utility network designing, construction planning and dimensioning, and provide support for all levels of utility network planning. ​Design an intelligent digital twin of your network once, and use it widely throughout the planning process to gain efficiency, time savings and easy collaboration between all stakeholders. 


The high-quality network data can be further used to elevate decision-making, bring cost-efficiency to network construction and ensure safe and optimal use of utility network - all while handling planning and commissioning workflows smoothly and assuring that your asset management decisions are made in an optimal way.

Picture
​Designing the network using an intelligent, built-in network model with automated connectivity enables creating detailed electro-technical network plans of varying scope, from single customer connection to different scenarios of large network projects.

This digital twin of your network can then be efficiently utilized throughout the planning life-cycle, from strategic to detailed planning and to commissioning and as-built network documentation. The plans are intelligent network models that can be analyzed with power system analysis / engineering analysis and other tools. Flexible plan management allows for creating alternative scenarios and, after construction, incorporating the new model effortlessly into the existing digital twin of your network.

The plan information is seamlessly integrated into the existing network model. This minimizes the time and effort required to enable the operative use of the network information when the newly constructed network part is commissioned.

​Seamless life-cycle management

Utilize in-depth data
  • Construction costs, land use data, environmental and mapping data
  • Electro-technical calculations, reliability and spatial analyses
  • Investment plans, network value and regulation

Explore the wide customization possibilities
  • Flexible network model that can be adjusted to various needs
  • Support for multiple user roles and workflows
  • Extensive access control, e.g. contractor use

​Use Case Examples

Picture
Construction from Drafts to Details
​

Start your construction planning by sketching network changes on a general level and get quick estimates of the construction costs. Later, make detailed construction plans for accurate estimations of the materials, actions and costs.
Picture
​Workflow for the Entire Life-Cycle
​

Throughout the network designing process, manage your workflows smoothly with both in-house parties and external contractors. Assign plans to the right people, and follow up on the progress of your active projects.

​​Technical Impact Analysis
                           
Design network changes of any kind, from a single new connection to broad areal re-development to increasing distributed energy resources. Carry out electro-technical calculations to examine the impact on your network.
Trimble NIS plays an important role in  improving  the network reliability and managing network-related assets. That's why we didn't see the deployment as an IT project but as a business development project.

​​Economic & Construction Planning

For network construction planning, our tools offer efficient means to manage materials, actions and costs. Construction planning data is automatically generated from the network digital twin in combination with configurable, standard material packages and price lists. Construction projects are effortlessly created from the network digital twin plans, including actual budgets with material and work costs.
​
The results of construction planning can be utilized, for example, in external ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems through standard interfaces. Using outsourced contractors also in the construction planning phase is smooth with extensive access control.

​Electro-Technical Planning

Picture
​Our built-in calculation tools allow technical planning and dimensioning with numerical and graphical presentations. The analyses are based on the intelligent network digital twin in combination with hourly measurements, load profiles and annual energy.
​
Our tools offer versatile calculation possibilities for both symmetrical and asymmetrical networks - radial and meshed. The calculations include load flow calculations for dimensioning cables and other network components, as well as short-circuit and earth fault (symmetrical) calculations for checking dimensioning of protection devices with maximum & minimum short-circuit and earth fault currents of all parts of the network.
