Objectives:

• Static analysis of electrical power systems using the ETAP software
• Acquiring the following skills:

- Knowing the necessary information for modeling different network elements (including generators, lines, transformers, loads, capacitors, switches, etc.)

- Skill in upstream and downstream network modeling when studying part of the electrical network

- Carrying out symmetrical power flow studies of the electrical network, extracting the amount of losses and network voltage profile, analyzing the results and finding the cause of undesirable voltages (if any)

- The skill of finding a solution to modify the voltage profile of real networks based on the results obtained in the previous section

- Completing symmetrical and asymmetrical short circuit calculations and analyzing how voltage changes in different parts of the network during each type of fault

- Getting familiar with the impact of transformer grounding and transformer connections on the voltage of different network buses during a fault and also on the amount of fault current (for all types of faults)

- The skill of determining the size of network keys

- The skill of modifying the design of new power networks (type of network arrangement, changing the size of equipment, etc.) by using power flow and short circuit studies and their analysis

- The skill of performing the necessary technical checks when connecting two different networks together or when developing a part of the network
