Design Intelligent Substation Infrastructure Up to 30% Faster
with Bentley Substation V8i
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 utility infrastructure, enabling the entire grid to become more intelligent, resilient, and efficient. This is why Bentley is helping utilities switch to intelligent infrastructure.
Electric substations are a critical component of 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 as valuable for brownfield projects as greenfield projects, being able to import legacy 2D designs, and work with point clouds. Bentley Substation is a valuable productivity tool for utilities, engineering firms (EPCs), and rail owner/operators who design and operate substation infrastructure. Bentley Substation is in use at Central Southern China Electric Power Design Institute, CPS Energy, Enmax, ETSA, Iberdrola, LTL Holdings, Chinese State Nuclear Electric Power Planning Design and Research Institute, TransGrid, and many other utilities and EPCs.
| "Bentley Substation represents a tremendous step forward for engineering in the area of substation design. Combining the electrical and physical design environment in a single application which utilizes a common database, has the potential to shorten the timelines associated with the design process, resulting in a measurable increase in productivity." |
