Load Flow (or Power Flow Analysis) is one of the most important analysis to be performed on a Power System. Load Flow results help in maintinaing proper operation of a Power System and also to design and extend the existing Power System. Various industry standard softwares are used for load flow studies. ETAP is such an application for performing various analyses on simulated power networks.

This tutorial series is based on using ETAP for Power System Modeling, Design and Analysis. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to build one-line diagram of a power network in ETAP and how to perform Load Flow Analysis of the system using Load Flow Toolbar. For an introduction to basics of ETAP and an overview of ETAP toolbars, there’s a tutorial Introduction to ETAP for Power System Modeling & Simulations .

ETAP Load Flow Analysis Software offers an extensive set of power flow analysis and simulation tools to calculate bus voltages, branch power factors, currents, and power flows throughout the electrical system.

The Power Flow Simulation is a fundamental analysis module for demand evaluation, power flow analysis, losses, power factor correction, and voltage drop calculations.

As the industry benchmark, ETAP Load Flow Software offers built-in features such as autorun load flow simulator, equipment evaluation, alerts / warnings summary reports, load flow result analyzer, and intelligent & interactive graphics, making it the best and most efficient electrical power flow analysis software available today.
