Eplan thinks in systems
Advancing the energy system transformation is a common goal for all stakeholders in the energy industry. To fully decarbonize the supply many renewable energy systems must be built. Due to their size and the volatility of the supply they often only function well in combination with one another.
For instance, wind farms can be connected to energy storage systems to balance loads, and photovoltaic systems can supply energy directly to charging infrastructure. Furthermore, it may also make sense to connect many smaller renewable energy systems into a virtual power plant network. This is why we consider the systems in the entire decentralized energy landscape.
Eplan software makes it possible to network all participants in the construction of a system into one single project and thereby serves as the single source of truth which ensures standardized access to all high-quality data. Aside from speeding up the design and construction phases of a project, the operations team also benefits.
For instance, field work on wind turbines often takes place under extreme conditions. By using the digital twin in Eplan the number of service missions can be reduced considerably. The associated documentation, which is always reliable and up to date, makes the operator’s work much easier and improves overall data quality.
Eplan in the energy sector
- Enercon
- Global Hydro
- G&M Automation
“Around 40 developers across multiple sites carry out cloud-based engineering work using EPLAN."
“So we got a real solution for our requirements, not just software.”
“Eplan enables us to efficiently create complex circuit diagrams for charging infrastructures. The automated creation of terminal diagrams, circuit diagrams and parts lists saves us time and reduces potential sources of error.”

Support with the challenges of the energy system transformation
Eplan software helps planners and operators advance the expansion of decentralized energy systems. For about the past twenty years, it has been able to be customized to the specific needs of companies in this sector. The software digitizes the planning of new constructions – thereby making it faster.
Planning reliability & network effects
Eplan Electric P8 is a future-oriented software tool that is continually being improved and developed. Furthermore, electrical engineering with Eplan is widespread: many suppliers are already using the software.
Overview & validity
The electrical engineering construction for systems takes place in 3D design. This makes the documentation valid, meaningful and clear. Eplan Electric P8 offers this added value when used in combination with Eplan Pro Panel.
Standardization & time savings
Our software allows you to establish standard formats and even fixed processes. The standardization of electrical engineering starts here in the design and project planning phases.
The fact that suppliers, system integrators and service technicians are all also operating from the foundation of standardized specifications is just icing on the cake.
Consistency & efficiency
The same, standardized data is used throughout the construction and manufacturing processes. Operators benefit from the fact that suppliers are working with the documentation from the project planning phase and can supplement it with their detail engineering.
Planning and construction processes can thereby be completed in half the time. Any maintenance or service calls during operations are also accelerated.
