RatedPower Substation is a specialized module within the RatedPower platform that automates the engineering, modeling, and optimization of substations for utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants. The software enables users to generate complete single-line diagrams and detailed engineering reports for step-up substations, supporting both feasibility studies and full-cycle engineering. Users can customize substation parameters, select transformer arrangements, and ensure compliance with IEC or IEEE standards. The module supports various substation configurations, including line-to-transformer, single busbar, and double busbar layouts, each tailored to different operational and reliability requirements. RatedPower Substation integrates with the broader PV plant design workflow, allowing for seamless interconnection design, hybrid and storage integration, and site-specific optimization. The platform is available in Basic, Advanced, and Enterprise editions, each offering increasing levels of engineering detail, site analysis, and team management features. This module is essential for developers and engineers seeking to accelerate substation design, reduce project risks, and ensure regulatory and technical compliance for grid connection.
