The ETAP AFAS product provides Real-Time and after the fact analysis of electrical faults in your electrical system. Using the ETAP digital twin combined with automatically extracted disturbance records, engineers have a clear picture of any electrical fault in the network.
Using the proven analysis engines, the AFAS solution provides for fault identification by determining the fault type, start time, trip time, fault magnitudes, and fault impedances. The signal injection features allow users to playback recorded data into the relay model to validate the as designed versus as found relay response. The electrical digital twin is used to validate the system response by leveraging the Sequence of Operations engines to validate that the correct protection scheme was executed within the expected time cycles.
To further analyze an event, the waveform viewer is a full featured tool which offers engineers key insight into an event with signals provided by the disturbance recorder as well as key calculated signals available for analysis.
In Industrial applications, time is money. Quickly identifying faults and restoring assets is crucial to minimize downtime and costs. The ETAP AFAS (Advanced Fault Analysis Software) leverages disturbance records and telemetry data to locate faults and provide steps to restore assets while the fault is being addressed, increasing the chances of a quick resolution. Furthermore, ETAP AFAS seamlessly integrates several other ETAP software applications such as with the centralized relay management software (eProtect), eSCADA, and Intelligent Load Shedding (iLS) to provide a fully integrated solution for managing your industrial system. With this complete solution, engineers and operators can manage faults efficiently, minimize downtime, and maximize operational efficiency.
ETAP Automated Fault Analysis System (AFAS) solution provides Real-Time and advanced analytics of electrical faults for your complex networks. Using the ETAP digital twin combined with disturbance records, engineers and operators have a clear forensic picture of any electrical fault in the network. Using proven ETAP analysis solvers, AFAS identifies faults, including fault type, start time, protection trip time, fault magnitudes, and fault distance/impedances. A novel signal injection features allow users to playback recorded data into the protection model to compare "as designed" vs. "as found" relay response. This comparison using ETAP electrical digital twin is used to validate system response per the configured protection scheme, and the sequence of operation was followed within expected time durations.
