Supervisory Control allows the operator to apply objectives and constraints to achieve an optimal operation of the system. In this mode, recommendations are implemented based on the predefined set of objectives. ETAP utilizes optimal power flow algorithms and user-defined logics to determine the best operating settings for the system.

Optimization can be used to assist energy consumers to automatically operate the system and minimize system losses, reduce peak load consumption, or minimize control adjustment. For energy producers or co-generators, system optimization can be set to minimize generation fuel cost, optimize system operation, and maximize system security.

The appropriate application of system optimization leads to a more reliable and economical operation, while maintaining system voltages and equipment loading within the required range and constraints. System optimization provides intelligent load flow solutions to minimize system operating costs and maximize system performance while maximizing the value of your energy investment.

Control System Simulator
Control System Simulator is an automated testing tool for control and instrumentation systems. This is achieved through customizable mapping of control device settings (governor, exciter, etc.) within ETAP and continuously simulating the system response.
