Plataforma BIM: o potencial de sua implementação em projetos de subestações.

Abstract

Brazil is going through a great advance in the implementation of renewable energy generation, resulting in the need to implement new substations to connect to the existing electrical system. In addition, it is noted that the electricity transmission and distribution companies are carrying out several renovations in their substations, whether the replacement of old equipment or the expansion train the greater demand. Within this context, this work aims to prepare a literature review on power substations and the BIM platform, present the potential and benefits of using the platform in substation projects, as well as verifying the possible challenges of implementing the BIM platform without thread. Thus, an investigation was carried out with professionals who work directly in the development of substation projects, through the application of a questionnaire containing 8 questions. A total of 21 professionals participated in order to precisely identify the level of knowledge of substation designers in relation to BIM technology, how lagging the sector is in relation to new computer modeling technologies, the benefits that BIM technology can generate to the segment and the difficulties/challenges of implementation. It was observed that the greater interaction between the areas of development and the greater level of detail of the projects are the great benefits that BIM can provide to the sector, with the lack of specialized labor followed by the cost of implementing the technology of the greatest challenges to be surpassed by the segment.
