There are approximately 3200 electric utilities in the United States. Each utility has their own standards, procedures, workflows, and more for designing substations. To solve the overwhelming task of automating substation design to fit each utility's specific situation, Autodesk and AutomationForce partnered to develop the Substation Design Suite, an add-in for Inventor software and AutoCAD Electrical software. This class describes Nashville Electric Service's (NES) experience in adapting these software packages for their unique work processes. The class includes discussion of the challenges NES faced in the beginning, the pros and cons of using provided content versus creating customized content and provides examples of customizing Substation Design Suite content and templates in Inventor and adapting AutoCAD Electrical to meet specific design requirements.

This class will cover some of the challenges faced when adopting AutoCAD Electrical software for use in the design of substation control and communications systems. We will also look at the Solutions found during a single company's journey from simple 2D AutoCAD software drawings to a fully integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach. Topics will include strategies for adaptation, possible areas of interest within your company, and thoughts on training and standards.
