LV network planning was not consistently supported by simulations. In special cases LV models were manually created, for a limited area of interest only and including many assumptions.
Changing grid infrastructure and increasing penetration of DER assets calls for more frequent investigations in LV area.
Manual creation of planning cases from various source data systems (GIS, billing system, etc.) very time-consuming and not flexible.
Many assumptions were used in the manually created models, this was time-consuming to perform and resulted in reduced model consistency and accuracy.

PSS®SINCAL as central tool for network planning activities
Automated end-to-end PSS®SINCAL model creation out of GIS data (and further databases for electrical parameters, load and feeder data)
Interfaces between tools: improved data sharing across systems
Seamless data exchange thanks to data consistency and streamlined processes

With the ability to automatically create PSS®SINCAL models from Esri GIS data, we are now able to completely model and simulate our entire LV grids for the first time. Giving us a new level of insight with higher accuracy than before.

Volkmar Henschel, Project Management & Strategic Network Development, Stadtwerke Quickborn

Ability to have entire LV network modelled for the first time
Efficiency increase in planning team of ~30%
Improved data quality and level of detail: Grid planning consistently based on the latest data from the GIS and other internal master source systems
High-quality models give confidence to leverage existing assets
Reduced cost for data management with efficient asset data exchange
Error avoidance: Improved grid model quality across multiple update interactions
