After this episode students are well aware of the content of the course which they are going to learn as well as overview of all tools of ETAP software.
Creating new project in Etap software using library project.
Open an existing ETAP project by clicking the open icon or File open project, select Test Project, confirm username and access level (ED), then begin editing the first one-line diagram.
Explore ETAP toolbars that organize a power system workspace, including project, card presentation, more, system, and element toolbars to create projects, manage scenarios, and build a one-line diagram.
One line diagrams are the basic modeling of the Etap simulation.In this lecture students will creat the same in software.
Composite networks are the essential to reduce the one line overview space.
Create a template from your one-line diagram in ETAP, name and save it, then retrieve it via right-click and get from template beside the diagram.
Build a practical ETAP load flow study by creating a new one-line diagram, configuring transformer and bus settings, and modeling new 50 hp compressors with consistent breakers and cables.
Switch to load flow analysis mode and run a simple load flow. Observe real and reactive power, voltage, and current changes.
Build an arc flash study with a one-line diagram, protective devices, and a low-voltage circuit breaker; run short-circuit analysis, approve PPE per NFPA 70E, and generate labels and reports.
Explore motor start in ETAP, using static analysis to identify marginal devices and voltage dips during a 100 hp motor inrush, with adjustable acceleration time and dynamic plots.
Run an ETAP static motor starting analysis with three events, adjust accelerations, and set marginal and critical voltage limits to observe bus voltage dips and recovery.
Learn to run a dynamic motor start in ETAP, defining load model, motor inertia, and polynomial load, then analyze motor current, voltage, speed, and bus voltage during startup.
Explains motor start using a variable frequency drive in ETAP, modeling a 500 hp motor with a 12.47 kV grid and 480 V transformer, and performing dynamic start analysis.
Explore how the system dumpster copies, deletes, retrieves, and purges elements from the one line diagram in ETAP, showing tag, type, and consecutive numbering for cables, loads, and transformers.
Build a sample one-line diagram in ETAP for adding two 50 hp air compressors from the existing MTC, set transformer, breakers, cables, and label the scope of work.
Run a load flow analysis on the one-line diagram to visualize real and reactive power flow, voltage drop, and branch current as new loads are added.
Perform a short circuit analysis in ETAP by faulting the main bus and running the maximum study to obtain fault current, voltage, and arc flash data, then generate labeled reports.
Explore protective device coordination in ETAP by analyzing time-current curves, adjusting relay and breaker settings, and predicting which device trips during a fault.
