Substations & Switching Stations

The heart of the power supply

The energy transition requires robust grids. We support grid operators in the refurbishment of existing facilities and the construction of new substations at all grid levels. Our approach is multidisciplinary: from civil engineering works through primary and secondary technology to the highly sensitive commissioning of protection and control systems.

Project workflow at Cteam Energietechnik Austria

Behind every successful project is a well-coordinated and highly qualified team. At Cteam Energietechnik, in-depth engineering expertise is combined with solid installation skills. Our project managers are your key points of contact: they manage deadlines, budgets and processes with precision and a strong commitment to getting things done.

1 Consulting & Engineering (The Foundation)

    Before the ground-breaking ceremony takes place, our engineers ensure technical clarity during Phase 1. We use state-of-the-art software to plan and dimension your systems in a future-proof manner.

    • Planning & Calculation: Network calculations using NEPLAN, switchgear sizing in accordance with IEC 865 and comprehensive approval procedures.
    • Detailed engineering: Primary and secondary technical design using leading CAE tools such as EPLAN, RUPLAN, ELCAD and ECSCAD.
    • Protection concepts: Development of intelligent protection and field control technology for maximum plant safety.

2 Installation & Commissioning (Implementation)

    In Phase 2, our highly qualified installation teams ensure that the plans are implemented on site.

    • Precision installation: Professional electrical installation and complex cable connection work up to 36 kV using all standard connection techniques.
    • Commissioning: Systematic system checks, protection testing and final commissioning to ensure smooth grid operation.

3 Service & Diagnostics (Maintaining Value)

    We support your installations throughout Phase 3 for decades. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic methods, we identify weak points before they become a problem.

    • Condition analysis: High-voltage tests (HV tests) and partial discharge measurements (PD measurements) on MV systems and transformers.
    • Maintenance: Regular cable tests, maintenance services and fault management.
