Power plant design and configuration

When designing a power plant, you’re often constrained by a complex and fragmented approach to engineering design and grid configuration. You also face pressure to continually keep pace with changing customer needs and regulatory requirements. Further challenges arise from poor engineering collaboration, software interoperability and a limited degree of engineering design reuse and repeatability. Combined, all of these factors can create major sources of value loss throughout the construction supply chain.

Fortunately, there are new energy design software solutions that can help you overcome power plant design challenges. These tools give your engineering teams the ability to:

• Synchronize your design processes, making use of multidiscipline design and reuse to engineer better designs faster
• Use advanced design automation to rapidly engineer custom solutions
• Ensure on-going contractual and regulatory compliance with an integrated, systems approach

For power plant design, our software and solutions include:

• Bill of materials (BOM) management
• Mechanical design software
• Formula design management
• Product configuration management
• Requirements management
• Product lifecycle management

Yes, our power plant design software establishes a highly collaborative, multi-CAD environment for managing, sharing and visualizing design data authored in a variety of engineering tools (Siemens + 3rd party). Our solutions include integrated workflow capabilities for automating business processes, as well as document management, change management and much more.

The three challenges engineers overcome with a power plant design software are:

1. A complex and fragmented approach to engineering design
2. The need to continually keep pace with changing customer needs and regulatory requirements
3. Poor collaboration, interoperability and a limited degree of engineering design reuse and repeatability
