Substation design
DNV creates basic designs and specifications and executes feasibility studies for high voltage substations and installations such as short circuit laboratories.
As ever more suppliers tender for projects, the clarity of design studies and tender documents is increasingly important for success – whether you are requesting tenders or bidding for projects. DNV helps you evaluate or create technical documentation for substations or other high voltage installations, bringing transparency to decision-making and solution details.
On the procurement side, we support you in setting clear and fair requirements at system and component level. While for bidders, we help you provide sufficient detail on the proposed solution to allow potential customers to take clear, acceptable and explainable choices.
