Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) is an electrical network modeling and simulation software tool[1] used by power systems engineers to create an "electrical digital twin" and analyze electrical power system dynamics,[2] transients and protection.[3]

Dr. Farrokh Shokooh is the founder of ETAP. While Dr. Shokooh worked at Fluor Corporation[4] he was made in charge of selecting electrical engineering software. Realizing a lack of comprehensive, efficient and intelligent power system analysis software, the vision of Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) was born. Dr. Shokooh left Fluor Corporation to develop ETAP and founded Operation Technology, Inc (OTI) in 1986. OTI dba ETAP is an ISO 9001-certified electrical power system design and automation software company headquartered in Irvine, California, with international offices in India, UAE, KSA, Brazil, Mexico, France, UK, Malaysia and China.

Schneider Electric took controlling stake in ETAP on November 16, 2020 to spearhead smart and green electrification.[5] The current CEO of ETAP is Tanuj Khandelwal who previously held the role of CTO and has been employed at ETAP for over 20 years.

ETAP was developed for utilization on MS-DOS operating system and intended for commercial and nuclear power system analysis [6] and system operations.

Power system simulation requires an electrical digital twin consisting of a power system network model that includes system connectivity, topology, electrical device characteristics, historical system response and real-time operations data in order to make offline or online decisions. ETAP power engineering software utilizes an electrical digital twin in order for electrical engineers and operators to perform following studies in offline or online mode:

Steady-state Design Dynamics & Power Quality Protection & Safety Resiliency & Optimization
Load flow or power flow study[7] Transient or dynamic stability.[8] Protective device coordination, discrimination or selectivity[9] Optimal power flow
Substation design and analysis[10] Harmonic or power quality analysis[11] Short circuit or fault analysis[12] Optimal capacitor placement[13][14]
Motor starting and acceleration analysis[15] Arc flash hazard assessment[16] Battery modeling and simulation[17]
Voltage stability analysis[18] Ground loop impedance calculation[19] Optimal placement of distributed generation[20]
DC arc flash hazard assessment[21] Reliability[22]
Lightning risk assessment
Grounding grid, Earth Mat, Earthing[23]

Software applications

ETAP software applications include:

  • Power system design for ANSI and IEC networks[24]
  • Electric supply substation simulation[25]
  • Monitoring and feeder analysis[26]
  • Simulation of distributed photovoltaic power[27]
  • Study of a DC network[28]
  • Open-phase fault analysis[29] - Multiple events across the nuclear power industry have highlighted the need for greater understanding of what happens during an open phase fault. These open phase events have occurred on the high side of offsite power supply transformers and have involved loss of one or two phases.
  • Diesel power plant analysis[30]
  • Combined cycle power plant analysis[31]
  • AC/DC hybrid system simulation[32]
  • Wind turbine design and analysis[33]
  • Harmonics in railway power systems[34]
  • Rural distribution system analysis[35]
  • Distributed generation protection[36]
  • Reliability assessment of renewable energy systems[37]
  • Wind and PV penetration studies[38]
  • Microgrid power system design[39]
  • Power system analysis of High-Rise Buildings[40]
