01What is being requested

This market consultation focuses on exploring solutions for automated parametric design, with an initial focus on insulator strings to automate and optimize the design process.

See scope document market consultation further defined in paragraph 1.2: To define the scope for this market consultation, we have adopted a functional, solution‑agnostic perspective. Instead of prescribing specific tools or technologies, we describe what our business units must be able to achieve in the domain of automated parametric design. We refer to these as functional demands, which we define as follows: “A solution-agnostic definition of the functionalities required by the business, outlining what is needed from technology without specifying how they must be implemented”.

09Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of this market consultation?
The purpose is to explore market capabilities for 'Automated Parametric Design' to automate design processes. The focus is on shortening the lead time from design to realization, starting with insulator strings.
What functional requirements are imposed on the solution?
The solution must meet three functional requirements: automated parametric design, design automation, and the automated generation of drawings, parts lists, and the Bill of Materials (BoM).
Which technical components is the scope focused on?
The initial focus is on insulator strings. Following successful implementation, the intention is to expand the automated parametric design to other components, such as mechanical tower parts, civil engineering works, and foundations.
What is expected of respondents during the consultation?
Respondents should present their proposed solutions for insulator strings, provide a high-level roadmap for scalability to other components, and provide a high-level implementation strategy.
