Load Flow Analysis using etap

Create & Validate System Models with Ease


& Accuracy

 With ETAP’s advanced Load Flow module, you can


create and validate your system model with ease and
obtain accurate and reliable results. Built-in features like
automatic device evaluation, summary alarms /
warnings, result analyzer, and intelligent graphics make it
the most efficient Load Flow program available today.
 ETAP calculates bus voltages, branch power factors,
currents, and power flows throughout the electrical
system. ETAP allows for swing, voltage regulated, and
unregulated power sources with multiple power grids
and generator connections. It is capable of performing
analysis on both radial and loop systems. ETAP allows
you to select from several different methods in order to
achieve the best calculation efficiency and accuracy.
