About ETAP

ETAP is a power system analysis software platform from Schneider Electric that provides tools for electrical network modeling and analysis. It includes features for load flow analysis, short circuit analysis, and protective device coordination so users can effectively manage and analyze their electrical systems. ETAP supports various types of electrical systems including industrial, commercial, and utility applications. The software allows for real-time monitoring and control, along with detailed reporting capabilities to help users make informed decisions regarding system performance. Key capabilities: load flow analysis short circuit analysis protective device coordination real-time monitoring data reporting Best for: electrical engineers and system operators that need to analyze and manage power systems efficiently.

ETAP, or the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program, has established itself as a leading software platform in the field of electrical power systems. Developed by Operation Technology, Inc. and now a key part of Schneider Electric, ETAP is more than just a design tool; it is a comprehensive "digital twin" platform that spans the entire lifecycle of an electrical system, from initial design to real-time operation and automation. This makes it an invaluable asset for a wide range of industries, including utilities, oil & gas, manufacturing, and transportation, all of which rely on robust and efficient electrical infrastructure. The software's global reach is evidenced by its use by over 20,000 enterprises worldwide, supported by a global team of over 1,000 employees. The strength of ETAP lies in its integrated, modular architecture. It provides a single, unified environment for electrical engineers to perform a multitude of tasks. Its core functionality is centered on a comprehensive set of analysis tools. Users can perform detailed studies such as Load Flow, Short Circuit, and Arc Flash analysis to ensure system safety and reliability.
