In most cases, SCCAF (Short Circuit Coordination Arc Flash) studies are done by engineering firms, which then submit reports to facility owners. The challenge is that those reports tend to be lengthy (up to 5,000 pages), not engaging, and hard to grasp for facility personnel. ETAP's powerful graphical and presentation tools can help make those reports livelier, informative, and more engaging. This case study will discuss how you can summarize lengthy power studies reports within just a 30-minute interactive meeting, and highlight how the final ETAP model can be used, with its powerful graphical interface and presentation tools, including Data Blocks, Multiple Presentation layers, Sequence of Operations, and Arc flash calculator.
This case study discusses the challenges faced by BBraun Medical, a manufacturing facility of medical products, due to unplanned outages and the lack of an optimized load shedding system. This demonstration discusses the use of ETAP Real-Time Intelligent Load Shedding (ILS), and ETAP's digital twin modeling capabilities, to distinguish between different subsystems and validate the ILS solution. The ILS solution provided a quick response to islanding conditions, ensuring the continuous operation of critical loads while shedding non-critical loads, thus minimizing production loss during outages. The solution also offered load optimization, flexible load priority modifications, and real-time monitoring capabilities. Overall, the ETAP ILS solution helped BBraun Medical operate safely during disturbances and minimize the impact of utility disturbances, providing an effective load shedding solution.
Gila Al-Tawakol electric, an electrical solutions provider and panel builder, started their digitization transformation by switching from a general CAD software program to SEE Electrical. In order to satisfy the increasing need for specialist electrical design capabilities, this change was crucial. In order to guarantee a seamless transition, our change management strategy included thorough training programs, active stakeholder participation, and a phased implementation approach was essential to this process. This product demonstration discusses this journey, overcoming early resistance, encouraging a culture of continual development, and utilizing SEE Electrical's cutting-edge capabilities to increase our design accuracy and efficiency. This presentation reveals how this change is leading to more innovation and quality in our industry by streamlining our operations, reducing errors, shortening project timelines, and most importantly exploring new customizations and enhancements.
The escalating demand for fleet electrification across the U.S. presents a significant challenge to existing distribution infrastructure, necessitating EV charging management strategies to meet electrical energy demands and address power quality issues. Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers, equipped with power electronic converters and PWM technology, generate non-sinusoidal currents, exacerbating power quality concerns at individual sites. The effect of rapid voltage changes (RVC) introduced by this equipment is also discussed. This case study features insights and observations from field-recorded measurements of unbalanced (per-phase) harmonic distortions at a site with over 300 electric van charging stations. The unbalanced harmonic analysis (UBHA) conducted by Eradeh Power Consulting using ETAP Software for the site, revealed distortion limits being exceeded for individual phase currents and voltages as well as power distribution equipment rating overloads (such as transformer K-rating and cable thermal limits). The presentation also discusses how unbalanced harmonic distortions calculated within the site and at the point of common coupling (PCC) can be mitigated using techniques such as the use of active / passive harmonic filters amongst others.
Engineers face unique challenges when calculating DC Arc Flash incident energy for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Battery short circuit current is highly variant, and factors such as battery chemistry, and how the installation arrangement of BESS have significant differences in short circuit behavior. As well, traditional methods of calculating DCAF have been determined to fall short when it comes to BESS. In this demonstration, these variations will be discussed, including PPE considerations. Following this, a demonstration of the Transient DC Arc Flash solution provided by ETAP solutions will be presented. The presentation will show the usefulness of model validation, and the importance of high quality analysis methods to provide better accuracy in DC AF analysis for BESS.
Stellenbosch Municipality is a local municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa serving more than 200,000 customers. They were in search of a capable OEM partner to provide them with end-to-end support in establishing a SCADA Master Station in their Control Centre to supervise and operate their distribution network. Further, they needed assistance to prepare the configuration of the SCADA Master Station system and allow for a completely integrated substation protection and control solution. With the help of Altek Solutions (System Integrator of ETAP in South Africa), this project was executed to meet the customer’s objective. This demonstration discusses the new SCADA Master Station at the Municipal Control Centre, which was implemented in various phases. The first phase was establishing SCADA at the Control Centre and connecting 7 substations. The next phase will be to add-on DMS & OMS capabilities to the SCADA system. ETAP was selected for this phase due to its modular and scalable platform to build on top of the ETAP SCADA system to meet their need of a Distribution Management System easily in future.
Multiple arc flash incident energy mitigation methods are available, but how does an engineer know which is best for their client? This presentation identifies an approach to follow to pick the method, considering effectiveness, practicality, feasibility, and overall best option for realistic study results. With extensive experience with arc flash studies for many clients of all sizes, Mangan provides a real world demonstration of a project for a refinery client. The interplay between motor starting and arc flash analysis was evaluated, and mitigation recommendations were customized for the system. The challenges encountered during mitigation are identified, and the proposed solution is analyzed using ETAP Load Flow, Short Circuit, Arc Flash and Motor Acceleration Analysis. Safe motor operation, safe motor starting and arc flash protection are provided through customized mitigation methods and thoughtful system design.
This Red Sea Project is a groundbreaking endeavor in Saudi Arabia under the Saudi Vision 2030 economic development program. The project is powered by a fully renewable energy system, including large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) system and a substantial 1.3 GWh energy storage system, effectively providing 100% clean energy to the development. As the Engineering, Procurement and Construction firm for this project, SEPCOIII has been involved with the design and construction of a wide range of permanent utility assets, including support facilities such as desalination plants, power generation facilities and distribution networks for water, electricity and natural gas. In this presentation, learn how SEPCOIII relied on ETAP's Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) to assist with the technology challenges for the project’s distributed energy power system, and how the solution is being used to manage and supervise the power distribution system to achieve better optimizations and improve system stability.

Discover the new Feeder Hosting Capacity module provided in ETAP 2024 to support solar PV systems being integrated into modern distribution networks. Incorporating PV arrays into existing feeders presents several challenges, including overvoltage, backflow, thermal overloading, protection mis-coordination, and increased harmonic distortion. To address these issues, it is essential to perform feeder hosting capacity (FHC) studies, which assess the optimal amount and placement of PV installations. By leveraging ETAP 2024's Feeder Hosting Capacity module, engineers and utilities can confidently integrate renewable energy sources into their grids while ensuring optimal performance and sustainability. The three key analysis options provided in ETAP FHC, Nodal HC, Stochastic HC and Impact Analysis are described in detail, along with how smart inverters are addressed.
