Abstract: In order to avoid the inaccurate listing of substation secondary cable quantity under the two-dimensional design mode, which cannot meet the requirements of current precise investment, the paper proposes to use BRCM three-dimensional software modeling to realize automatic laying of substation secondary cable according to the optimized path. Firstly, the process of cable laying design by BRCM software is introduced in detail. Secondly, taking a certain 110 kV substation as an example, the three-dimensional model of substation cable trench, cable bracket and electrical equipment is established. The cable laying principle is set, and the cable list with optimized path can be exported with one click. Finally, the estimated cable consumption of two-dimensional design and the actual cable consumption of three-dimensional simulation optimized path are compared and analyzed. The data show that,with the application of BRCM software, the investment is reduced by 10.8% compared with the total amount of two-dimensional design cable, and the result of precise investment is achieved. The error between BRCM software and the actual cable laying amount is less than 5%, which meets the requirements of engineering specifications.It shows the feasibility and reliability of the path optimization of BRCM 3D modeling.
