ETAP Canada Ltd. Launched A Successful Free Live National ETAP® 101 Event

On May 23, 2012, ETAP Canada Ltd., an Authorized ETAP Representative, hosted a 4-hour ETAP 101 simulcast, broadcast live from ETAP’s corporate headquarters in California for its Canadian audience.

This first of a kind event from ETAP Canada Ltd. was viewed from PC, Boardrooms, and at six separate Cineplex Theatres located throughout Canada. Participants attending the theater venue networked with peers, enjoyed the presentation in an engaging large screen format, and snacked on complimentary food and beverages.

ETAP 101 Seminars provide an introduction to the Design, Analysis, and Operation of Power Systems. Participants gained a better understanding of how to solve some of the challenges of power systems design and operation, and how ETAP Software simplifies and speeds work. Topics covered included:

• ETAP Overview – AC & DC System Modeling
• DataX – Electrical Data Conversion from SKM Dapper^® and Import/Export from MS Excel^®
• Project Management & Merge
• Renewable Energy – PV Array (Solar) & Wind Turbine Generators
• Cable Systems, IEC & BS Ampacity, Sizing, PE, & Shock Review
• Load Flow Analysis & Short Circuit Analysis – Review only
• Evaluation of Protection & Coordination Devices
• Arc Flash – AC & DC Arc Flash Hazard Assessment
• ETAP Real Time Intelligent Load Shedding

ETAP Scholarship Update

ETAP Scholarship Program

The ETAP Scholarship program is in full swing, and reaction to it has been very positive. In addition to a monetary sum, all students selected will receive an ETAP 5 day training session at our main office in Irvine, California (travel not included). While there, you will meet and interact with the engineers that have developed this world-class program.

This hands-on workshop provides the skills, knowledge, and techniques necessary to conduct power system studies, from modeling to analysis, in ETAP. The purpose of this workshop is to develop a thorough understanding of ETAP’s capabilities and analytical techniques to solve a variety of practical problems.

An overview of the ETAP user interface will be covered including System Modeling (sources, branches, loads, protective devices, etc.), One-Line Diagram, Libraries (data and interface), 3-Dimensional Database (presentation, configuration, and engineering data), Cable Systems (ampacity and sizing), Transmission Lines (line constants, ampacity, and sag and tension), Report Manager, Wizard and more!

The knowledge gained will arm you with power engineering skills that put you in the driver’s seat of your future.

Scholarships are still available but please remember that the cut-off date for the Fall and Winter round of scholarships is November 1st, 2010.
