Secondary Grid Networks Modeling and Analysis: With this module, heavily meshed electrical network systems, such as low-voltage secondary networks and spot networks, can be modeled and analyzed.It allows comprehensive analysis to calculate technical losses and identify overloaded equipment down to the customer meter. Low-Voltage Secondary Distribution Modeling: This module supports the detailed modeling and simulation of the radial secondary distribution system with single-phase center tap transformers and service drop cables.The simulations then take into account the effects of these installations on the overall distribution system to produce results that closely reflect reality. Enhanced Substation Modeling: This module enables the accurate representation of all the major components of a distribution substation as well as any sub-network, such as a vault, a switching cubicle or an industrial facility.I’ll see your silver lining and raise you two black clouds. So, mostly a bit of a rant against the need to go back and forth and the near impossibility of smoothly doing so. Over the years here, most of the modeling questions seem to focus on how do I do something in ETAP? That suggests that ETAP may not be the most user friendly package out there. In the utility T&D realm, there wind up being at least four similar but incompatible models all with their own data sets and no easy way between them.

That's why I'd really like to see an industry standard equipment parameter database format, but there doesn't seem to be much of a driver for it. It's much easier to find a package that does everything you need than to go back and forth. A basic model has a hard time making a round trip from package A to B and then back to A.

My experience is that despite promises of compatibility between competing software packages it often doesn't work well. Protection Operations RE: CYME to Etap Conversion AAffoonnjjee (Electrical) Sorry, not much help, but push for a common base data layer. So, best to stick with the smallest set of modeling packages you can get away with. One of the huge problems is that OneLiner and Cape model in the three symmetrical components, all the “PS…” software only uses the positive sequence, but all of the distribution system and facility focused packages work in the phase domain to allow single phase taps and loads. If that existed I could push my OneLiner studies well into the distribution system and the CYME users could easily grab a better picture of the source configurations. I’d really like to see a common base data format that then allows one to run whatever analysis front end the user desires. (Used SKM, a lot once upon a time, never used Easypower.) Now I live in a OneLiner world and find the gulf to to CYME side of things to be far greater than it should be. For something at a plant/facility/campus level I’d lean toward SKM or Easypower. It seems to me that CYME is bad and ETAP is horrible. Nothing I know about either would lead to selecting either from the available field. Why? Never really worked with either, but we have CYME.
