Description

Are you an electrical engineering student, fresher, or power system professional looking to get started with ETAP?

This beginner-friendly course introduces you to ETAP (Electrical Transient Analyzer Program), one of the most widely used software tools for power system modeling and analysis. Through a practical industrial case study, you will learn how power system engineers create and model electrical networks using ETAP.

In this course, you will build a real-world industrial power system from scratch. Starting with project setup and configuration, you will learn how to create single line diagrams, define voltage levels, model transformers, transmission lines, generators, and loads, and perform basic load flow analysis.

The course is based on practical engineering workflows rather than theoretical demonstrations, helping you understand how ETAP is used in actual industrial projects.

What you'll learn:

• ETAP fundamentals and user interface
• Creating and configuring ETAP projects
• Setting project standards and voltage levels
• Developing industrial single line diagrams
• Modeling transformers, transmission lines, generators, and loads
• Understanding industrial power system architecture
• Running and interpreting load flow analysis results
• Introduction to advanced studies such as short circuit, protection coordination, harmonics, motor starting, and transient stability

This course is ideal for:

• Electrical engineering students
• Fresh graduates preparing for power system careers
• Power system engineers new to ETAP
• Protection and substation engineers
• Industrial electrical engineers

No prior ETAP experience is required. Basic knowledge of electrical power systems is helpful but not mandatory.

By the end of this course, you will have the confidence to create your own ETAP models and take the next step toward advanced power system studies and engineering projects.

Who this course is for:

  • Electrical engineering students who want to learn ETAP from scratch
  • Fresh graduates seeking careers in power system studies and design
  • Power system engineers looking to get started with ETAP modeling
  • Protection, substation, and industrial electrical engineers interested in ETAP
  • Professionals who want practical exposure to industrial power system projects
  • Anyone interested in learning power system analysis using ETAP
