Switching Optimization Switching Optimization is a tool to automatically determine the optimal system configuration to achieve a single or multiple user-specified objectives.
Volt / Var Optimization
ETAP utilizes optimal power flow algorithms and user-defined logics to determine the best operating settings for the system. ETAP can advise the operator or automatically control generators, capacitors, and transformer tap changers.
Optimal Capacitor Placement Optimal Capacitor Placement allows engineers to strategically place capacitors for voltage support and power factor correction while minimizing installation and long-term operation costs.
Generation Optimization Economic Dispatch provides guidelines for optimal electrical system operation in order to meet power requirements, steam requirements, and minimize fuel cost per generator.
