Workshop Description
- The purpose of this introductory 4-day hands-on workshop is to learn how to apply engineering knowledge in power system modeling, design & analysis using ETAP software.
- This workshop covers ETAP functionalities to design & solve practical power system problems.
- ETAP capabilities for modeling & managing power systems will be discussed. Workshop instructions also include equipment sizing in steady-state and short-circuit conditions, motor acceleration scenarios, protection of the equipment, selectivity, & device coordination, arc-flash assessment & mitigation, and effects of harmonics in the system & properly sizing filters.
- Additionally, learn how to conduct an arc-flash incident energy study using the latest standard, IEEE 1584-2018.
- An ETAP workstation is provided for each attendee.
Who should attend
- New ETAP users and power engineers who wish to increase their skills using the ETAP application to perform system studies.
- Current users seeking a refresher course.
- Knowledge of power system engineering concepts is highly recommended for those attending this workshop.
