PROJECT LOAD ANALYSIS

• Definition of basic information
— Operation conditions
— Electrical consumers Groups
— Electrical Load Types
— Security margins
• Load analysis in consumers groups
— Assign main electrical equipment to consumer groups
— Calculate load in each operating condition
— Assign load factors
— Demanded power
• Generator dimensioning
— Design of the electrical plant requirements
— For each operating condition
◦ Generators required
◦ Unit power
CABLE CATALOGUES
• Cable types: Main
— Power, instrumentation, communications, ...
• Cable specs: Cable composition:

— Sets
— Conductors
— Insulation / Protection layers
• Cable section tables: Available cross section for each

cable spec:
— Electrical data (resistance, voltage drop, max.
Current, etc.)
— Mechanical data (weight, bending radius, etc.)
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT LIBRARIES

• Class/Component/Element Hierarchy
— Class is a generic type
— Component is a specific dimension of a class
— Element is an actual instance in the project
• Electrical equipment may be defined as

— Data extension of ship equipment
— New items from scratch
• Equipment models defined from:

— “Static” collection of parametric primitives
— Parametric macros (programmed in tcl)
— Import available in JT, STEP, IGES, DXF 3D, others
• System attributes

EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE
SINGLE DATABASE – ORACLE BASED

• Elements (equipment instances) may be defined in:
— 2D diagrams
— 3D layout of the project
— Entering data in an input window
— Imported from Excel Spreadsheets
• Single database entity for all occurrences of the same item in

different diagrams or 3D
• Different operation modes:

— Fill in equipment schedule first, then place in 2D or 3D
— Draw diagram first, equipment schedule as a
consequence
CABLE SCHEDULE
• Populated either from 2D diagrams or manual data input
• Enriched as project progresses with:
— Routing data
— End glands and connectors
— Conductor connections data
— Nesting and cutting
— On board installation

• Printable in multiple formats (Excel, PDF, etc.), with
different report arrangements and filters
2D SCHEMATICS
• All diagrams of the project organized in a
configurable tree.
• P&I, electrical, symbol contexts
• Easy drag & drop symbol insertion.
• Cables/equipment database populated as inserted in

the drawing.

mature compartments (outputs sent to
production)
CABLE ROUTING – CHECK ROUTING INFO
