ETAP is utilized in mission critical facilities as an integrated electrical power system design and digital twin driven electrical control & power management system (EPMS) from design to operations.
Multi-Platform & Non-Unified Lifecycle leads to negative impact in terms of errors & omissions, rework, lost time, and increased costs from design to commissioning and operations.
ETAP Multi-Dimensional Foundation unifies design engineering and real-time applications enabling digitization of power systems at every stage of the electrical installation life cycle, from design and build to commission, operate, and maintain. ETAP enables efficient design, analysis, management, operations, and a complete digital transformation of projects, while adapting to evolving system changes, accelerating productivity, and increasing efficiency while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).
An innovative design alone does not ensure a well-built data center that will remain efficient and reliable throughout its life cycle. For each phase, proper care and action are required to meet the mission-critical facility's business needs continuously.

Strong incentives exist to faster plan, build, and commission data centers. However, the common reality of tighter budgets, understaffing, uncertain and dynamic IT load, and an obsessive need for high availability makes it difficult to do this optimally. Planning mistakes & sequential tasks can magnify and propagate through later deployment phases, resulting in delays, cost overruns, wasted time, and ultimately a compromised system.

No matter how experienced an operator or a commissioning engineer is, a new site or design can constantly challenge them with abnormal situations not considered during the electrical power system design & analysis. Changes in and commissioning sequence can get them into a position where it becomes imperative to validate an action before commissioning or operating the system.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure—or in this case, millions of dollars. Apart from the immediate financial costs, the impact of reduced productivity, lost opportunities, brand damage, and potential data loss can impose lasting trickle-down effects that may affect a business for years to come. Data centers can leverage their digital twin model to identify and avert potential failure points, saving both themselves and their customers time and money.

Typical data centers are designed with a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. However, most IT equipment refresh cycles are 2 to 5 years. Datacenter operators need to scale critical infrastructure (power and cooling) and space to accommodate explosive growth in computing power and storage. Critical power needs to be deployed modularly within an operating data center while it remains fully operational and reliable.

Sustainability is becoming a vital issue for data center operators. Investors, customers, and legislators are increasingly demanding carbon emissions reporting and 100% renewable energy use. Purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) or Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) is a reasonable first step in a sustainability strategy towards Carbon Neutral, yet is insufficient on its own. While a virtual PPA may make a new renewable farm possible, if the farm and the data center operations are not on the same grid, it does not address carbon emissions from those operations. Data centers must move to Net Zero and deploy renewable sources of energy on the local grid, so that the data center will consume renewables at all times.
