come2ENERGY GmbH, founded in 2010 as HEICON ENERGY GmbH, offers any kind of services relating to electrical power supply plants. The company is a full-service provider. Its portfolio encompasses power supply plants and the corresponding services for customers from trade and industry, from public authorities, and from the railway. Energy efficiency consulting is also an important aspect. Continuously growing sectors are photovoltaics, wind energy, and biomass power plants. Together with Phoenix Solar AG, the company has already projected large solar parks with over 240.000 modules under its former name, e.g. in Senftenberg and Preschen. Several plants with maximum power outputs of 18 and 10 megawatts respectively are already installed there or are under construction.
Unique industry knowledge
come2ENERGY relies on AUCOTEC for the engineering of these major projects as well as for all other electrotechnical systemes of its ENERGY portfolio. With rising market demands for power supply plants, simple CAD software was no longer sufficient, and an intelligent, reliable engineering tool was required. The most important demands were compatibility and access to existing projects but also comfort functions such as easy integration of photos into drawings. RUPLAN EVU offered the required professionalism and a unique branch experience: „Many of our customers and also power companies already have appropriate interfaces; further more RUPLAN was familiar to many employees“, explains Simone Maschke, division manager Power Engineering and Supply.
More safety, more time
The complete medium-voltage network from the general diagram via equipment to cross references is projected with RUPLAN. „Due to templates the quality is now uniform and the time economy achieved by reusing project components has resulted in a distinct improvement“, says the division manager; besides she notes that the central database has considerably improved the data integrity. In addition to the central database for all projects, the come2ENERGY engineers also see great advantages in the copy functions, in the clearly laid out function menu, and in the continuous updates. Her conclusion: „Our customers expect quality – just like us. The documentation is a very important component in this context. In order for things to remain like this, we attach great importance to further development, regular training and information about innovations; we are sure that we can rely on AUCOTEC in these respects.“
