Substation Design Suite: Protection & Control
Built to work with the tools you already use, SDS P&C is an advanced design platform that automates tasks in protection and control schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts. It’s a proven solution for improving accuracy, speed, and consistency across every project.
Talk to usA smart solution for P&C substation design
Built on AutoCAD Electrical, SDS P&C helps utilities and engineering firms design faster, more accurately, and with consistent quality across every drawing and diagram. You get:
- Automated schematics, wiring diagrams, and control cabinet layouts that reduce manual drawing time
- Consistent standards applied automatically across projects to ensure accuracy and compliance
- Faster design cycles that minimize rework and keep projects on schedule
- Collaboration with clarity based on up-to-date information for all project team members
How it works
SDS P&C brings automation, validation, and collaboration to substation design while maintaining quality and accuracy.
Automated wiring and schematic design
Save time and reduce errors:
- Automatically generate wire connections, terminal diagrams, and cable schedules.
- Place multi-component templates with protection relays, terminal blocks, CTs, PTs, and associated wiring, all in a single action.
- Update drawings instantly when changes are made to maintain alignment and eliminate rework.
Dependable design consistency
Apply standards at every step:
- Enforce utility-specific drawing standards and naming conventions with configurable templates
- Automatically generate cross-references and intelligent annotations to ensure drawing clarity.
- Standardize designs across teams and projects using a common library of protection and control components.
Improved quality and collaboration
Deliver high-quality packages faster:
- Eliminate the need for manual drawing tasks, reducing human error.
- Maintain traceable links between logic diagrams, wiring schematics, and device placement.
- Share standard AutoCAD DWG files across design and engineering teams for streamlined review and updates.
Purpose-built for P&C engineers
Integrate with real-world systems and workflows:
- Design with “GEO-enabled CAD” to ensure the right projections and coordinate systems are used.
- Use intelligent network models in the CAD environment to include features, classes, attributes, specifications, relationships and connectivity.
- Work seamlessly with GIS and ERP/EAM systems through model mapping and two-way data synchronization.
