Power Grid Planning & Design Series-Forever Technology

Power Grid Planning and Design Series

Power grid planning and design covers project planning, preliminary feasibility study, preliminary design and detailed design (construction drawing), etc. Forever Technology provides power design systems for both transmission and distribution networks. Developed for electrical designers and engineers, the design system is a quality tool for intelligent, effective and accurate power design.

- Transmission line design system
Functions: Integrating GIS and 3D technology, it utilizes precise and complete data about power grid state, 2D and 3D topographic and geomorphic conditions plus various design resources. It enables engineers quickly and accurately design lines, select conductors, arrange poles or towers. Also it allows 2D or 3D display of design results, automated matching of accessories for poles or towers, materials statistics, simulated calibrating of design results and selection of substation location. Thus it accelerates the designing process and improves design quality while relieving designer’s workload.

Advantages: Through calculation of factors like design standards geographical and meteorological conditions, it is able to determine the number and models of necessary communication, measurement or monitoring devices. Those devices provide functions like sensing, data transmission and alarming. Thus, Internet of Things is actually implemented in the first stage of power grid full lifecycle management.

Distribution line design system

It is a fully integrated design tool including three modules: overhead transmission line design, cable design, switching room (substations) design. It performs project management, graphic plotting, equipment model selection, optical arrangement and project costs calculation. And it helps designers adhere to design standards and improve their work efficiency. It unifies construction norms and equipment specifications.

Advantages: It standardizes the process of power grid planning and design. Digital design results could be transferred to the other systems. And it enables seamless integration with the next construction system. Furthermore, it is the precondition for data utilization in the process of operation, maintenance and marketing

Features: It is developed on the basis of Forever Technology GRP. Through huge amount of data entry and classified presentation, it simulates a wide range of planning, feasibility study and preliminary design and other scenarios of design by virtue of satellite images, 3-D topographic and geomorphic conditions overlaid with equipment 3-D device models.

Users: State Nuclear Electric Power Planning, Design & Research Institute, State Power Grid Beijing Economic & Technological Research Institute, etc.
