Network Design

Ipsum are experts in the field of electrical power engineering design and a preferred designer for clients including IDNO’s, ICP’s, construction companies, developers and consulting engineers for the private and public sector.

WE HAVE DESIGNED PROJECTS FOR:

OUR TEAM & OUR EXPERIENCE

Our design team are highly trained and experienced in using the latest power systems software technologies. We provide optimum design solutions, whilst using the latest software technologies, we provide optimum design solutions whilst ensuring safety, network integrity and compliance with national and international standards.

The myriad of plant and equipment, differing design policies and DNO design assessments can be a minefield. Our significant knowledge is used to our advantage – we prepare and issue network designs ensuring all technical aspects are carefully considered and design policies implemented.

Regardless of complexity you will have a multi-disciplined team which includes ex-DNO personnel trained in the design and planning of electricity networks. Our design engineers are some of the most skilled in the industry, producing detailed and yet value engineered solutions for your projects.

Rest assured we take full accountability for our design work that we are commissioned to carry out. If you haven’t worked with us before then give Ipsum a try and we’ll show you our design capabilities. We’re sure you will want to work with us again.

Our design accreditation ranges from LV up to 132kV, including substations. From a simple connection, through to a complex HV network with multiple substations. We design and value engineer all types of electrical distribution networks including IDNO networks.

We have been appointed as designers for a major IDNO client and this has been one of our most significant achievements to date. Underpinned by our substantial design client base, this key appointment has made Ipsum one of the foremost ICP design houses in the UK.

Our in-house designs are used as benchmarks for some of our Independent Distribution Network Operators and ICP’s in the UK to compare against, as we set the highest of uncompromised standards with our unimpeachable attention to detail rarely seen in the industry.

Our design portfolio includes:

Commercial and industrial sites
The design of distributed generation networks up to and including 132kV
Detailed substation design for 11kV and 33kV substations
Switchgear, transformer, protection and control scheme specifications
Substation earthing including: site measurements, software modelling, and detailed earthing reports
Motor starting calculations
Fault level, load flow analysis and system stability
Cable sizing and trench profiling
The design of LV distribution networks for small, medium and large residential schemes

Ipsum are fully accredited under the industry recognized National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS). Our company continues to grow and we are currently working towards obtaining our Gas Industry Registration Scheme (GIRS) accreditation for early 2018.

We produce electrical engineering designs using the following software: ERACS, WInDebut, CDEGS, Amtech Protect HV, Design Base, Ground Grid, ‘Cable High Voltage’ and ‘Cable Pulling’
