In order to offer high quality products, Vestas invests heavily to optimize the design of wind turbines with one priority: increase efficiency. Vestas believes that the design stage is equal to, or even more important than the manufacturing stage. Selecting IGE+XAO’s SEE Electrical as the electrical design reference software was key to Vestas China. The company was looking for a software package which would allow to design both electrical schematics and wiring diagrams, manage wires, cables and shielding and hence generates automatically all types of lists (product, wire, cable and terminal lists).
The first project for which SEE Electrical was deployed was the V60-850KW project. When this project was finished, engineers found that design time has been considerably shortened, efficiency has been significantly increased and the probability of making mistakes has dramatically been reduced. Diagrams are now standardized and the audit work has become much easier. In addition, importing product information through Excel, allows the precise match of wiring diagrams and real products. Also some design works, which was hard to make in the past due to the huge workload, could also be performed after implementing SEE Electrical.
“We are very pleased with SEE Electrical” declared Mr. Zhang Yanmin, Head of Vestas China Engineering department. “What we really appreciate is the fact that SEE Electrical is very intuitive and therefore easy to learn. We believe that SEE Electrical has significantly contributed to the success of our project”.
