Caneco Electrical
Specialized LV, PV, and HV electrical design software for buildings and infrastructure projects
Available now for France, Spain and German compliance standards.
Overview
Caneco Electrical is dedicated to the design of low voltage (LV), photovoltaic (PV), and high voltage (HV) installations. Subscription to this software is offered as an add-on for Caneco. Caneco Electrical PV is also offered as a standalone package.
With full integration of regional compliance standards and robust manufacturer equipment content, this cloud-based add-on software modules handle the complexities of engineering calculations and deliver detailed reporting with regional requirements included, ready for inspection authorities and commissioning agents. Included with Caneco Electrical are these three modules:
PV Module
Tailored to the design of photovoltaic installations, including DC and AC system integration, EVSE, and battery storage projects. The module enables alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) calculations with built-in regional compliance. The PV module is available in France, Spain and Germany. Standards are supported for Germany, France (NFC 15-100, C15-712, and NF 13-200), and IEC.
LV Module
Enables multi-source design for low voltage systems and interoperability with Caneco BT. Includes France standard NF 15100, Spain standard REBT, German standard VDE, and IEC standards.
HV Module
Provides design solutions for high voltage for France to size the cable, protection and MV cell according to NF 13200 between the transformer and the delivery substation.
Subscription Options
Standalone package for the design of grid-tied and islanded photovoltaic installations, including cable sizing and protection device calculations
