Bentley Substation V8i: Intelligent Substation Design
First Intra-Operable Software Product for Electrical and Physical Substation Design Provides Intelligent Information Models, Broad Range of Tools, and Integrated Workflows
Utilities face an unprecedented scale of change as they move to embrace the smart grid. These changes will inevitably involve building and retrofitting existing utilities infrastructure, enabling the entire grid to become more intelligent, resilient, and efficient. This is why Bentley is helping to engineer the 21st century utility.
Electric substations are a critical component to the smart grid with approximately 10% of a utility's revenue spent on building, refurbishing, and operating substations. Until now, no single software product has been able to address the challenging requirements for the efficient design and modeling of substations. Bentley Substation V8i makes the substation design process up to 30% faster, reduces errors and re-works, and improves the productivity of a utility’s substation engineering team. Bentley Substation is a valuable productivity tool for utilities, engineering firms (EPCs), and rail owner/operators who design and operate substation infrastructure.
