Design of electrical system using ETAP for BAHARESTAN subway station
BAHARESTAN Subway Station is the last station of BAHARESTAN Metro Line, Isfahan, Iran. This line begins from the last station of line 1 of Isfahan Metro and continues to BAHARESTAN town. The customer of this project was HEXA consulting engineering company, the main consultant of BAHARESTAN subway station. The main challenge of this project was providing a safe, reliable, and economic design that was compatible with architecture, structure, and mechanical installation according to IEC & IEEE standards.
Project procedure:
Step1: architecture plan reviewing and negotiations for the needs of the customer and input data for basic design and detailed design
Step2: generating basic design report and basic DWG file of electrical systems.
Step3: Revising the basic design according to the customer comments.
Step4: generating detailed design file based on the basic design.
First of all, the lighting system was designed with the DIALUX program. In continue, other subsystems and load calculation was created respectively. Afterward, a power flow study and short circuit study were run by ETAP for low voltage systems for checking the cable size and circuit breaker characteristics with the acceptable limits of international standards and handbooks. Furthermore, the earthing system was designed according to IEEE80-2013 by ETAP.
Step5: Final DWG file and calculation reports were provided after revising them according to the customer comments.
Step6: financial estimation of the project presented in the last step of the project.
