Electrical Transient Analyzer Program
open-in-new
<p>Infobox company</p> <p>Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) is an <a href="/facts/Electrical_network/zt94kTW0">electrical network</a> <a href="/facts/Modeling_and_simulation/cx2QVflW">modeling and simulation</a> software tool used by <a href="/facts/Power_systems_engineering/0EWEmAVW">power systems engineers</a> to create an "electrical <a href="/facts/Digital_twin/CIajYd9S">digital twin</a>" and analyze electrical power <a href="/facts/System_dynamics/EPI2wWsI">system dynamics</a>, transients and protection. </p><p><a href="/facts/Schneider_Electric/8DEQxsAw">Schneider Electric</a> took controlling stake in ETAP on November 16, 2020, to spearhead smart and green electrification. The current CEO of ETAP is <a href="https://etap.com/company/news/in-the-news/2022/03/23/tanuj-khandelwal-ETAP-CEO">Tanuj Khandelwal</a> who previously held the role of CTO and has been employed at ETAP for over 20 years. </p><p>ETAP was developed for utilization on MS-DOS operating system and intended for commercial and nuclear power system analysis and system operations. </p><p><a href="/facts/Power_system_simulation/seR6tXmb">Power system simulation</a> requires an electrical <a href="/facts/Digital_twin/CIajYd9S">digital twin</a> consisting of a power system network model that includes system connectivity, <a href="/facts/Topology_(electrical_circuits)/rEeoJRC9">topology</a>, electrical device characteristics, historical system response and real-time operations data in order to make offline or online decisions. ETAP <a href="/facts/Power_engineering_software/W0kYzcxa">power engineering software</a> utilizes an electrical digital twin in order for <a href="/facts/Electrical_engineering/YYXW1KLW">electrical engineers</a> and operators to perform following studies in offline or online mode. </p>
