Challenge for wind energy
When converting wind energy into electrical energy, a range of factors, including wind direction yaw, drive
shaft, rotor blade adjustment and generator, need to be perfectly tailored to one another. This means the
optimum interaction between all components and disciplines needs to be taken into consideration as early as
the configuration stage for a wind power plant. This is the only way to guarantee top-notch quality and
seamless documentation.
Cross-disciplinary engineering
Ensure seamless interaction among all those involved: the EPLAN Platform and your expert system can work
together to configure your wind power plant in record time. The measurement and control engineers work with
EPLAN PPE to configure all relevant measurement points, e.g. for wind speed. The consistent core data used
for the EPLAN Platform gives the electrical engineers clear access to this information so they can plan the
controller in EPLAN Electric P8. At the same time, the fluid engineers process the relevant hydraulic brake
systems in EPLAN Fluid.
Perfect documentation – from planning through to decommissioning
The EPLAN Platform offers you first-class, interdisciplinary documentation with no media transitions.
Throughout the entire service life of the wind power plant, you can always access up-to-date information –
from planning through design, implementation, operation, maintenance and decommissioning. EPLAN View is
a simple navigation medium for cross-site troubleshooting – to enable fast repairs and minimise downtimes.
Added value through energy expertise
Our experienced EPLAN consultants will work with you to investigate your workflow, define potential for
improvement and work out standardisation guidelines. Precisely specified guidelines for internal departments
and external suppliers guarantee a consistent documentation format, consistent content and high quality.

Effective energy management provides
Energy costs in production companies are a major element of business
overheads and minimising them can considerably improve company results.
Connected load is an important component of the pricing of supply contracts.
They are based on peak loads which can result from multiple systems or
machines running at the same time. If you can ensure effective load distribution,
you can reduce your peak consumption: Consistent documentation provides
the basis for a more balanced power consumption profile.

Convincing benefits
Consistent plant documentation enables effective load manage-
ment and leads to reduced costs
Integral revision management ensures protocol-based documentation
and allows traceable energy management
Central data filing in the PDM system allows a consistent status
and version management for the plant – transparency throughout
the system
Documentation – the foundation for energy management
Effect load management is based on complete, consistent documentation of all systems and plants – from
automation through controlling through energy distribution. Against this backdrop, it is crucial that conversion
measures and expansions are documented with proper revisions and administered accordingly. Approval
processes and protocolling of all measures play a vital role in the overall documentation process.
Consistency with standardised core data
Put your faith in the tried and tested solutions from EPLAN Software & Service and create the foundations for
optimisation of your load distribution: The EPLAN Platform provides consistent documentation with its EPLAN
PPE and EPLAN Electric P8 systems and its interfaces to PDM systems. For example, you can record
measurements and control elements in EPLAN PPE. You can benefit from a graphical overview of all relevant
regulations within your plant and from the intelligent functional structure which makes navigation easy. The
EPLAN Platform provides the core data to link this information to the control and automation documentation in
EPLAN Electric P8 and provide you with consistent plant documentation. Revision management and the PDM
interface mean that the data is available and up-to-date at all times – in intelligent PDF format or in native
format within EPLAN View.
Stock-take and migration of old data
Existing plants and systems are often configured using a range of different engineering tools. The documentation
is in different formats and locations. Expert EPLAN consultants support you with stock-taking and can work
with you to combine all your documentation onto the central EPLAN Platform to provide a basis for your energy
management system.
