Substation Engineering & Digital Design Solutions

primtech3d – Substation Design & Engineering

primtech3d, developed by entegra GmbH, is an advanced 3D substation engineering platform designed to automate and standardize substation design workflows. It enables utilities and EPCs to transition from traditional 2D design methods to fully digital engineering environments

Key Capabilities

• 3D modelling of substations (AIS / GIS)
• Automated generation of layouts, sections, and drawings
• Template-based standardized engineering
• Digital twin creation for lifecycle management
• Integration with BIM and CAD platforms
• Interdisciplinary coordination (electrical, civil, structural)

Engineering Calculations

• Electrical clearance checks (phase-to-phase, phase-to-ground)
• Equipment spacing and safety distance validation
• Busbar configuration and connection design validation
• Cable routing feasibility and trench planning
• Layout optimization for space and maintainability

OEM Integration

primtech3d supports integration of OEM-specific equipment libraries, allowing accurate representation of manufacturer-specific components such as breakers, disconnectors, transformers, and structures.
