General Design software features

5,0 há 3 anos

Comentários: ETAP is generally the best software i have used. I would love to see features like infinite busbar being able to be implemented

Vantagens:

The software is good for asset management, real time simulation and for everyday problem solving on all designs

Desvantagens:

They software is only forward compactible. Exchange of models between clients and designers wont be easy if we are using different versions. I would to see the features such as lightning protection modelling using rolling sphere, EGM and shield angels. The software can only perform grid design for substation earthing only

Hello Percy, thank you for your positive feedback. We always add new and innovative features to our annual releases and take suggestions from our customers into consideration for future releases. In regards to your question about lightning protection, you can utilize the ETAP emtCoSim module; and your feature request for "infinite busbar" you can utilize the bus editor and select "swing" to model an infinite bus. See the latest ETAP innovations and feature updates at https://etap.com/whats-new.

12 Years of Experience with ETAP Software

4,0 há 5 anos

Comentários: Overall, I'm a happy customer with ETAP software. Good work team ETAP! :)

Vantagens:

There are a few things in ETAP that are actually very attractive. 1. The very attractive thing about ETAP is its user-friendly graphical interface which is very attractive with state of the art graphical symbols having both IEC and ANSI options selectable on simple clicks along with color coding according to voltage levels. This helps visually a lot in classifying one's systems based on voltage levels. 2. Help Desk support is an excellent feature with FTP support area for large file handling. 3. One click report generation with study/scenario wizards saves a lot of time for complex projects.

Desvantagens:

There are a few things in ETAP that are actually annoying sometimes. 1. First is the dumpster. Once you delete an element, you can't simply undo to restore it from dumpster. You need to be super smart to get it back. The undo / redo should be smartly management as in many other software. It will save a lot of hassle and time. 2. Backward compatibility is also a major concern. Projects created in newer versions can't be opened in older versions at all which is required sometimes to review the work of contractors. It should have some backward compatibility, say, to 4 previous releases. 3. Static studies such as load flow, short circuit etc do not consider turbine rating to generate alerts as the same is needed in some plants where turbines are under-rated than associated generators. No documentation is also available in this regard. 4. Library updates are also not available until next version is released. Limited models are available for ASD/VFD drives for harmonic studies even for very common drives. One has to create every common model manually which takes a lot of time.

Comments for ETAP

4,0 há 5 anos

Comentários: Good but something should be improved otherwise customer would seek for other brand.

Vantagens:

User friendly and thus easy to use than any other power system analysis softwares.

Desvantagens:

Grounding system study is inferior than other competitor such as XGSLab, CDEGS. Main Ground Grid analysis of ETAP is suitable only for a simple soil condition. I experienced very difficult soil condition with resistivity in the range of 800-1500 Ohm-m which ETAP cannot help and Electricity Authority disapproved analysis using ETAP. Thus we have to seek for other software to solve the problem by modeling a customized grid conductor such as using clay covering bare copper conductor and analyze touch and step voltage. Cables sizing calculation still has no capability to calculate according to IEC60287 standard which calculate from heat transfer theory. I have to purchase other software, CYMCAP, to calculate correctly. So ETAP is used for power system analysis only except cables sizing calculation and grounding system study. Another cons is ETAP support. I experienced that sometime I found problem using ETAP in analyzing GCB, I asked ETAP for technical help but unfortunately EATP ignored my request and after several follow up I got a very simple words which is not any useful. I felt very bad with ETAP support team. I hope that ETAP support would be improved.

Comentários: 1) Electrical Design Validation (Switchgear/Transformer/Cable etc. Rating)
2) Protection Coordination
3) Personnel & Plant Safety thru Arc Flash

Vantagens:

1) Load Flow 2) Short Circuit 3) Motor Starting 4) Relay Coordination: Sequence Operation

Desvantagens:

1) Harmonic Analysis - Result Difficult to Compare IEEE 519 2) Relay Coordination - Taking More Time to Prepare TCC 3) Not Having Feature to Change the TAG Nos. At A Time All Together (Like in Word Find/Replace) 4) Not Having Feature to Prepare Any Component Library User Friendly. 5) Not Having Feature to Change Model Component Symbols from IEC to ANSI or reverse all together at a time.

Resposta do ETAP

Thank you for your positive review and feedback. In regards to the items you pointed out in your review: 1) Harmonic Analysis: The new plot manager introduced with Version 18 should make results easier to compare. Is there a specific feature that you think we should add? 2) Taking More Time to Prepare TCC I would like to recommend trying our zones of protection viewer which sets the zones of protection and allows you to plot all the TCCs in one shot. The feature comes with protection device coordination. 3) Change TAG Nos. all at once: Feeture for future release 4) Prepare Any Component Library User Friendly. We have How-To tutorials https://youtu.be/oD4Ox7xzVTE or reach out to our ETAP HelpDesk & ask them to create these models for you. 5) Change Symbols from IEC to ANSI or vice versa: Select all the elements in your project, right-click and select symbol. You can then switch from ANSI and IEC symbols

ETAP Used for Nuclear Power Stations

5,0 há 4 anos

Comentários: ETAP is used for all our nuclear plant power system analysis and assists us with all necessary design changes. Their customer support is known throughout our industry to be world class.

Vantagens:

ETAP has supported the nuclear power industry by designing and supplying software for our specialized analytical needs for over 20 years. They have become the defacto standard for nuclear plant power system analysis throughout the U.S. with over 90% of plants and utilities standardizing on ETAP.

Desvantagens:

Although it may sound like I’m making this up, after using this software through all of its many evolutions over the years, I honestly can’t think of anything.

Comentários: I have 18 years experience with ETAP Software and compared to comparable software, I believe that ETAP has the most features they keep developing more features and tools to use.

Vantagens:

Provides many of the engineering calculations for design and analysis of electrical power, protection and control systems in one software package. It is a necessity in providing our customers the best designs and arc flash analysis.

Desvantagens:

I have to set up my defaults and tools the way that I like to use them and display them when I get a new version. I would like ETAP to add L-G faults for 1-Phase center-tapped sources.

Incredibly powerful with many improvements needed.

Comentários: We are solving the requirements set up by NFPA 70E and IEEE requirements to keep workers same.

Vantagens:

TCC, Arc Flash and short circuit studies help keep facility personnel safe and help identify where changes are needed.

Desvantagens:

Running large study wizards needs to be able to produce the reports at the end. It is extramely troublesome to have to generate EACH report from a 200+ node compressor station where you have 20+ configurations for studies that are scheduled to run. Also printing TCC with the elements shown in the curves needs to be easier.

Review of Etap Software from GW Engineering Inc.

5,0 há 5 anos

Comentários: I have used Etap for over 12 years and have used it for design, installation, and troubleshooting of many power generation systems over this period. These systems primarily include relay coordination, and protection schemes, arc flash, and motor starting. It is a great product.

Vantagens:

Etap utilizes all of the components the model and integrates them all together so it is easy to go from one module to the next and still work with all data and information from other modules. "Star" systems is an example.

Desvantagens:

Alignment and viewing results on the one-line can get crowded but it can be edited to view only the critical information.

Resposta do ETAP

há 5 anos

This can be resolved by using Auto-Build which is modeling based on a spacing rulebook. You can modify the rulebook to evenly space out all the elements in your one-line, allowing for a less cluttered view.

A Happy ETAP User

5,0 há 5 anos

Comentários: Overall experience has been good. We've experienced some troubles but we've always gotten the problem fixed by the customer support. We try to use ETAP whenever possible.

Vantagens:

I like it the most how user friendly it is and that it gives me the comfort that the results are correct.

Desvantagens:

There are a certain things that are different in this software compared to others. E.g. there is no "save as", only "copy project to" and you have to open it afterwards (if you want to work on the new project). And copy - paste is different than in any other software. It doesn't bother me anymore, but it's weird.

Resposta do ETAP

há 5 anos

We use "copy project to" instead of save as since SQL is installed locally on the machine which allows for faster performance. Copying the files directly disconnect the local database which is why we have this option instead.

Comentários: We use ETAP for modelling power systems to check overload on cables, we also mainly use it to evaluate short circuit and find values for the short circuit contribution as is required by DNOs during applications for new generation

Vantagens:

It is easy to pick up most of the features, has good displays of information in real time and in report form. Flags issues visually with red so can quickly identify where the system is facing an overload

Desvantagens:

Sometimes it is unclear what error is stopping the simulation running, The same diagram sometimes will work and sometimes throws and error and not always clear what it is that is changing between iterations
