Here in lesson 5, we will further understand the load flow module of ETAP. Load flow analysis is very helpful not only in determining the voltage and power flow but most especially through this we will be able to compute for line loss in transmission lines. ETAP is very effective in simulating the transmission and sub-transmission lines but it has a slight disadvantage if you would like to run a distribution line analysis.
What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.
There's another excellent article on power flow studies using ETAP. Have a look!
