OpenUtilities Substation 2024 (24.00.00.082)

The OpenUtilities Substation product team is pleased to announce the availability of OpenUtilities Substation 2024 (24.00.00.082) is integrated software application for intelligent electrical and physical substation design.

New and Changed in OpenUtilities Substation 2024
The following items summarize the new features and enhancements in the OpenUtilities Substation 2024 release:

3D Model - Conductor Improvements
- Conductor Level Selection List – Alphanumeric Sort.
Levels are now sorted Alphanumerically in the selection list.


New Modify Conductor Level Tool
Use this tool to quickly change conductor levels for existing cables and ridged bus (pipe).
Usage:
1. Select existing conductors in your model using Element Selection tool.
2. Click “Modify Conductor Level” button from 3D Design > Cable ribbon group.


3. Select desired Level from list. Then Click Apply button to finalize change.


Panel Layout
- Improved Macro Placement with Engineering Design Consideration
General Macro information: A Macro is a user defined “template” stored in a catalog. For example, your organization has standardized device arrangements for different types of switch racks. In this case, you can create an electrical device arrangement for each type and store it as a macro in your catalog. To promote consistency across designs and projects, users can select and place desired macro (template) from the catalog rather than performing device arrangements separately for each occurrence of same switch rack.
To prevent duplicated electrical devices tags, an Engineering Design Consideration now appears in the event of device tag duplication when placing macros.


EDC Options:
- Yes – Duplicates selected device. Multiple panel layout symbols will have the same electrical device tag.
- No – Device not duplicated. A “?” is automatically appended to the active electrical device tag.
- Yes to All – Same as selecting Yes button. Applies to all remaining devices in placement set.
- No to All – Same as selecting No button. Applies to all remaining devices in placement set.

Resolved issues in OpenUtilities Substation 2024



Bentley OpenUtilities - enables global utilities to embrace digital transformation with software applications that help streamline the design, planning, and operating processes for utility networks and asset infrastructure.
OpenUtilities Substation provides a comprehensive, integrated set of capabilities that make the design process faster, easier, and more efficient. Avoid rework, reduce errors, and enhance collaboration with linked and cross-referenced 3D layouts and electrical drawings. Capture best practices and enforce standards with automatic error checks, bills of material, and construction prints. Easily create intelligent 3D substation models from a database of intelligent objects. You can use the model to seed, create, link, and maintain consistency across 2D drawings, electrical schematics, and reports. And maximize efficiencies when your project moves beyond the design phase, speed construction and enhance operations by sharing the 3D model produced.
