Drakenstein Municipality's Digital Transformation: ETAP ADMS for Efficient Electrical Network
Drakenstein is a municipality in the western Cape province of West Africa supporting the electrical needs of 5 towns and close to 300,000 people. With limited visibility for our existing electrical network, the decision was made to upgrade the legacy equipment. With this, our vision is to embark on a digital journey to improve network efficiencies, reduce downtime, time of outages, and inadvertent tripping. In this case study, the phased approach to this transformation will be discussed, and the use of ETAP applications, analysis modules and the implementation of a digital twin to design and model the new electrical network.
