ETAP
ILS Gets High Marks at Indonesian Gold Mine |
| |
PT
Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT), operator of one of Indonesia’s
largest copper-gold mines, has been running the ETAP
Real-Time enterprise power system solution for eight
months with great success.
The
organization selected the enterprise solution mainly
to reduce production losses due to faults caused
by a variety of environmental disturbances. In
addition, the company is using ETAP Real-Time to monitor,
control and optimize power generation and transmission.
The
company’s
installation of ETAP Real-Time employs two primary
products: ETAP
Intelligent Load Shedding (ILS) and ETAP
Power System Monitoring & Simulation (PSMS).
Together, these products provide PTNNT with a fully
integrated system to optimize electrical power management,
resulting in lower generation cost and fewer process
time losses due to unnecessary load tripping. Click

ETAP
Deployed at the Largest EPR Nuclear Plant |
|
 |
Framatome
ANP, a division of AREVA, has deployed ETAP for
its new nuclear generation facility in Olkiluoto,
Finland. Framatome ANP, formed when Framatome
and Siemens merged their nuclear businesses,
is using ETAP to design and analyze the facility’s Electrical Distribution
System. The facility will be the continent’s
largest European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR)
nuclear power plant when it begins commercial operations
in 2009. |
|
| |
The
facility joins the family of international nuclear
generation plants using ETAP, with installations ranging
from Canada to South Korea. Within the U.S., the nuclear
version of ETAP has been deployed in more than two
thirds of all U.S.-based nuclear generation plants
thanks in part to OTI’s
status as a nuclear certified software developer. Click

2006
ETAP Training Events |
|
 |
Reflecting
the growing need for enterprise power system solutions around
the globe, OTI has scheduled a variety of international workshops
in 2006. Locations include Canada, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore,
the United Arab Emirates, and the U.S.
ETAP
workshops provide the skills, knowledge, and techniques necessary
to become proficient in using ETAP to conduct power system
studies from modeling to analysis. A calendar of events is
posted on etap.com. Events
are added throughout the year. Click

Module
Spotlight: Arc Flash |
| |
| Engineers
seeking to design safer power systems are looking to ETAP Arc
Flash Analysis to estimate the arc flash incident energy under
a bolted three-phase short circuit fault and determine the
flash protective boundary to live parts for shock protection.
By
applying
ETAP Arc Flash Analysis, engineers can ensure compliance
with OSHA, NFPA 70E, and IEEE 1584 Standards.
In
addition, Arc Flash Analysis can be used to determine the suitable
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) rating requirements based
on calculated incident energy and arc flash boundaries integrated
with coordination time of protective devices.
The Arc Flash
Analysis is conducted in conjunction with the ANSI/IEEE and
IEC Short-Circuit Device Duty calculations.
