Connect the plant.
Reach the load.
Model the LV/MV powerlines between generation and customers. Work through routes, poles, conductors, transformers, service connections and cost. Then check the electrical performance.
A real development-build view with vector routes, poles, buildings, costing and design findings. The example retains its findings and assumed prices. It is not an approved construction design.

01Connected planning
Use a consistent basis for generation and delivery.
Use the saved consumer-demand assumptions for plant planning and network sizing. Check the coincident demand relevant to each branch, rather than adding independent customer peak values.
- Vector map
Geography
Locate sources, customers and routes. Review mapped building evidence against the site information you have.
- LV · MV
Equipment
Develop LV feeders, MV connections, transformer zones and service drops. Refine poles, conductors and routing.
- PF · SC · Prot
Engineering checks
Read the design estimates and findings. Use the committed electrical model for separate solver-based checks.
02The network workflow
Develop the route. Review each decision.
Keep layout, equipment, cost and electrical findings connected as you compare a design.
- 01Describe the service areaStart from site geometry, demand assumptions and a source. Review customer locations and the basis of the consumer mix.Site & demand
- 02Lay out the networkBuild LV routes, transformer zones, service connections and an MV backbone where required. Review the proposed geometry.Network layout
- 03Refine the equipmentEdit routes, poles and services. Compare conductor alternatives while retaining the layout or allowing the design to reroute.Design alternatives
- 04Review findings and costInspect voltage and thermal estimates, design findings and quantities. Apply project prices to compare the alternatives.Checks & quantities
- 05Solve the electrical modelCommit the supported design to the network model, supply required equipment data and run the applicable power-flow and other studies.Electrical results
- 06Prepare the handoffExport the network geometry and supported design records for GIS review. Carry the assumptions and outstanding findings with the design.GIS & design records
03Alternatives & handoff
Compare more than the line on the map.
A conductor choice changes equipment cost and electrical estimates. A route change also affects length, poles and service connections.
Conductor alternatives
Rerun the design with other conductor choices. Retain the current poles and routes where supported, or allow a new route calculation. Review the resulting voltage, thermal and cost estimates.
Cost with a declared basis
Use per-kilometer or supported itemized costing. Review the unit prices and quantities. Import finished network quantities into the financial model’s capital costs when appropriate.
GIS export
Export a styled QGIS bundle, GeoPackage, GeoJSON or KML. Use the supported bill of materials and staking records for further review. Imagery is not bundled with the exported design.
Findings that remain visible
Review blockers and other design findings before accepting a proposal. Keep unresolved assumptions in the handoff. Map geometry is evidence of a layout, not a substitute for a field survey.
Separate checks, connected model
Check the network under electrical conditions.
Design estimates help compare layouts. Power flow checks a declared operating case. Short-circuit, protection and time-series studies answer further questions when their required equipment and study data are available.
Take the plant design through to delivery.
Follow the network-design guide, or return to the plant workflow to establish the generation and demand that the network must serve.
