QUICK BASIC ENGINEERING DESIGN OF YOUR STEP-UP SUBSTATION
PV substation engineering and design in a few clicks
You can use our software to easily choose elements such as your facility interconnection type, overhead line type and grid requirements to achieve the highest rated power for your plant while also considering your grid operator, the utility, and the country where it is located.
- Get easy access to all the necessary documents for your plants’ electrical substation
- Choose the most efficient transformer arrangement for your plant’s substation
- Calculate your substation transformer losses for more accurate project estimations
- Enjoy flexibility in your interconnection and select the best configuration for your transmission line designs
- Optimize power generation by defining your substation grid requirements
Transitioning from 1MW ground-mounted projects to 250MW in 9 months
«RatedPower really helped us eliminate our bottlenecks. It goes beyond other tools because it helps us design not just the low voltage or medium voltage, but also the connection point to the grid.»
AUTOMATE THE BASIC ENGINEERING OF YOUR SUBSTATION AND REDUCE DEVELOPMENT TIME
Increase the efficiency, power output, and ROI of your plant’s substation in just a few clicks
Generate the best interconnection solution
- Increase power production
- Increase the electricity voltage generated by optimizing the conversion level of your substation, with power transformers.
- Choose the best arrangement type
- Optimize the interconnection flow in your substation using single busbar, double busbar, or line-to-transformer arrangement and ensure your plant design is connected to the grid.
- Include pile length and slopes measurement
- Satisfy load growth and transmission capacity in a fast and easy way by choosing the substations that better suit your plant’s infrastructure.
Customize your substation and overhead line design
- Meet the requirements of the TSO/DSO
- Manually choose the circuit arrangement and power transformer size required to comply with your manufacturer’s requests relative to the project type and location of the plant.
- Design multiple interconnection facilities in minutes
- Gain more flexibility and a more in-depth scope when creating your designs to better meet the requirements set by off-takers. Choose between substations or switching & breaking stations.
- Include more than one overhead line in your design
- Easily define the infrastructure of your projects’ power lines by choosing how to connect the power generation facilities to the substations and ultimately to the wider electrical grid.
Access cost-effective calculations
- Increase your project's reliability
- Calculate and design multiple switching and breaking stations, regardless of the evacuated capacity. Save time and money by better controlling the flow of electricity in your PV plants and maintaining high reliability.
- Achieve competitive pricing
- Choose the number of transformer bays and busbars to optimize pricing and increase the attractiveness of your project with off-takers.
- Access detailed documentation
- Evaluate and access the results of your calculations in the documents necessary for a complete and detailed design of your plant.
