Southern California User Group #33 - January 24, 2012 - Dynamic Parameter Tuning

Southern California User Group #33 - January 24, 2012 - Dynamic Parameter Tuning Dynamic Parameter Tuning

The ETAP Southern California User Group met January 24, 2012 to hear a presentation on Dynamic Parameter Tuning.

Electrical network models form the basis for most power system studies, thus power system model validation is an essential procedure for maintaining system security and reliability. NERC compliance standards require that periodic system model validation be performed to ensure that the power system models are accurate and up to date.

Determining the parameters and validating the dynamic model requires comparison of simulated values versus generator test measurements. Dynamic models have to be tuned (often manually) in order to match simulation results with actual field measurements consuming man-hours and requiring expertise that may not be available in-house. This presentation will discuss the capabilities of ETAP Dynamic Parameter Tuning (DPT) that can be used to automatically tune dynamic model parameters for exciter, governor, PSS, etc. significantly speeding up NERC compliance testing for your generation system.

European User Group #2 - January 18, 2012 - ETAP 11 Release: Modeling Low Voltage Railway Signaling Power Systems

European User Group #2 - January 18, 2012 - ETAP 11 Release: Modeling Low Voltage Railway Signaling Power SystemsETAP 11 Release: Modeling Low Voltage Railway Signaling Power Systems

The ETAP European User Group met January 18, to hear a presentation on the ETAP 11 Release: Modeling Low Voltage Railway Signaling Power Systems.

The ETAP LV User Group provides a conduit to steer the ongoing development of ETAP features, libraries and modules for the design and operation of mission critical low voltage electrical systems across a range of industries including:

  • Railway Signaling
  • Nuclear
  • Mission Critical Process & Manufacturing
  • Ships & Marine
  • Spacecraft & Aircraft Power Systems
  • Hospital
  • Data Center
  • Utilities (Power Distribution, Water, Gas, Telecoms)

The main objective of this user group is to offer a technical forum to learn and share experiences on ETAP’s features and capabilities as well as to exchange views on standards and applications for the Low Voltage sector.

In addition to the above, the User Group promotes the development of training courses for LV ETAP users and acts as a foundation for an annual conference for attendees to share technical papers, exchange experiences and further their knowledge on the use of ETAP for LV systems.
