The module offers the first assessment of electrical network requirements, early in the master plan stage, including the number and preferred locations of distribution substations.

It is of great help for the urban planner as typically electrical criteria differ from the urban design principles. Land value, visual impact and other urban living priorities tend to push the source of power to development boundaries, away from load centers.

The output of the module is a guide for the planners and developers in achieving synergy between infrastructure cost urban design requirements.

The core module of LV design

It provides the solution for the LV network, including equipment proposed locations (subject to user verification and confirmations) and rating selection, cable sizing, preliminary cable layout, Single Line Diagrams and corridor verification, highlighting critical routes.

Following this stage the user is allowed to adjust the design, including clash analysis with other services and/or with other elements of the design (driveways, parking spaces etc).

The module is the final step in the design process. It updates all electrical parameters and recalculates Voltage drops, cable size according to equipment locations selected or confirmed by the designer following clash analysis or the resolution of other constraints.

The outputs automatically generated

• Cable layout
• Duct layout
• Single Line Diagrams,
• • Protection devises selection, cable selection, type of substations, Feeder Pillars and SMBD
• Material take-off
• Corridor verifications with a graphical presentation of critical areas

All the above in AutoCAD format ready for printing and delivery.
