ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS COURSE
(USING ETAP Software)
This course is designed for electrical
engineers, system operators, and planners to introduce the fundamentals of
Transmission and Distribution engineering using ETAP. Theoretical and practical
concepts and examples will be explored to assist the technical professional
with their primary functions. Effects of system unbalance and solutions,
optimization techniques using optimal power flow and capacitor placement will
be analyzed as well as system operations such as switching and contingencies
will be studied.
This course provides the skills, knowledge, and techniques
necessary to become proficient in ETAP to conduct power system studies, from
modeling to analysis. The purpose of this Course is to develop a thorough
understanding of ETAP’s capabilities and analytical techniques to solve a
variety of practical problems.
