The latest release of ETAP includes a comprehensive renewable energy model for wind turbine generators, full scale power converters and photovoltaic array with manufacturer specific libraries of P-V and I-V curves.
ETAP 11 enables designers and engineers to conceptualize wind and solar collection, determine renewable energy penetration levels and perform grid interconnection studies.
ETAP engineering services vice president Tanuj Khandelwal said the ETAP power system platform has filled this void by providing engineers, operators and managers with the capabilities to monitor, analyze and control energy fluctuations.
ETAP 11 also offers a graphical user-defined dynamic modeling module that is completely script free for fast and reliable simulations taking the guess work out of control systems.
Operation Technology is the designer and developer of ETAP, an analysis software for the design, simulation, operation, monitoring, control, optimization, and automation of power systems.
