ETAP OPERATOR TRAINING SIMULATOR

The all-in-one solution for electrical design in buildings and infrastructure

With increased focus on elimination of overdesign, system validation using digital twins, safety and emission compliance, as well as realized savings through virtual readiness and preparation, utilization of Operator Training Simulators has become a key factor in better design and improved operation of power systems.

ETAP eOTS – Model-Driven Power System Training Simulator helps to develop and improve operator competency through real-world simulated learning.

From simulation to operation, eOTS utilizes the ETAP Digital Twin foundation to provide operators and engineers with an effective learning environment to improve and augment their knowledge of the actual system. eOTS can save hundreds, thousands or millions of dollars by minimizing capital cost expenditures (CAPEX) on new design or upgrades, startup time reductions to reduced overall operating cost (OPEX) from improved system efficiency, reliability, safety, and availability resulting from improved operator skills.
