16.7 Hz converter station next to housing
Compliance secured pre-build
01 · Challenge
A planned converter station faced objections from neighbours concerned about magnetic exposure.
02 · Simulation
Traffic-based, time-variable simulation of realistic load profiles instead of static worst-case assumptions.
03 · Solution
Optimised cable routing, a shielded cable trench and a partial wall shield on the neighbour-facing façade.
04 · Execution
Design integrated into the civil works package; no retrofit required.
05 · Result
Authority approval obtained on first submission, with a documented margin of 55% below the limit.
