ETAP is beautiful and has a backbone that almost none of its competitors have: Revision, Presentation, and Configuration. It is POWER at your fingertips without sacrificing time; power with such ease.
Call out 1- Revision: You can create several revisions of your electrical facilities with different engineering data. For example, revision A with Motor 1 at 100 HP and Transformer X at 2 kVA, Revision B with Motor 2 at 50 HP and Transformer Y at 5 kVA
Call out 2 - Presentation: You can have different views, one showing component names, one showing CT, one hiding all component names, one with a black layer, and one with a white layer.
In this picture, there are 2 presentations with different layouts: Black and white. One presentation shows all the protective settings.
Call out 4-configuration: You can create several configurations with breakers in both ON and OFF states.
Configuration 1: Tie breaker ON
Configuration 2: Tie breaker OFF
Call out 3- Existing composite in the presentation
When you run studies, you use an infinite combination of Revisions, Presentation, and configuration with almost no effort. Moreover, there is an interface that summarizes all the worst- and best-case scenarios.
I built and quickly ran a 1,000 MW wind farm on ETAP using a single interface. What if we add capacitors? What if we curtail? What if we lose 1 transformer? What if we replace a transformer with undersized transformers? Can we do X, Y, Zโฆ
All the answers were summarized in 3-D: Revision, Presentation, Configuration.
Notice the power of 3!
Symmetrical components: 3
3 phases: 3
XYZ plane: 3
Christian Trinity: 3
Real, reactive, and apparent power: 3
Yes, ETAP knew the power of 3! 3-D Database.
