 Objectives
The main objectives of this experiments is given below:
1. To introduce about ETAP software
2. To introduce about Matlab software
3. To analyze the different ETAP and Matlab Simulink toolbar
4. To design the power system network and analyze it

Apparatus: ETAP 16.0.0 and MATLAB R2013a software.

Background Overview:
ETAP 16.0.0 software
Modeling & Simulation software’s hold great value for Power System Designers.
Engineers have to use these software’s all the time to analyze and test their designed
before actual implementation. Software’s are used for various analyses e.g., cost-
benefit analyses, feasibility analysis, and protection coordination etc. before deploying
the system. Electrical Engineers use industry standard software’s to test their proposed
designs.
ETAP abbreviated as Electrical Transient Analyzer Program. ETAP is a full spectrum
analytical engineering software developed by Operation Technology Inc. (OTI). The
software specializing in the analysis, simulation, monitoring, control, optimization, and
automation of electrical power systems. ETAP software offers the most comprehensive
and integrated suite of power system enterprise solution that spans from modeling to
operation.

MATLAB
MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates
computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where
problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. Typical uses
include:
✓ Math and computation
✓ Algorithm development
✓ Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
✓ Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
✓ Scientific and engineering graphics
✓ Application development, including Graphical User Interface building

MATLAB is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not
require dimensioning. This allows you to solve many technical computing problems,
especially those with matrix and vector formulations, in a fraction of the time it would
take to write a program in a scalar no interactive language such as C or Fortran.
The name MATLAB stands for matrix laboratory. MATLAB was originally written to
provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK and EISPACK
projects, which together represent the state-of-the-art in software for matrix
computation.

MATLAB has evolved over a period of years with input from many users. In university
environments, it is the standard instructional tool for introductory and advanced courses
in mathematics, engineering, and science. In industry, MATLAB is the tool of choice
for high-productivity research, development, and analysis.
MATLAB features a family of application-specific solutions called toolboxes. Very
important to most users of MATLAB, toolboxes allow you to learn and apply
specialized technology. Toolboxes are comprehensive collections of MATLAB
functions (M-files) that extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes
of problems. Areas in which toolboxes are available include signal processing, control
systems, neural networks, fuzzy logic, wavelets, simulation, and many others.

MATLAB Simulink
Simulink (Simulation and link) is developed by Math Works as an add-on with
MATLAB. It is a graphical programming language which offers modelling, simulation
and analyzing of multi domain dynamic systems under Graphical User Interface (GUI)
environment. The Simulink have tight integration with the MATLAB environment and
have a comprehensive block libraries and toolboxes for linear and nonlinear analyses.
The system models can be so easily constructed via just click and drag operations. The
Simulink comes handy while dealing with control theory and model based design.

Creating Model
Selecting Blocks

✓ For a sine wave sources

Simulink –>Sources –> Select sine wave from the list

✓ For Integrator

Simulink –>Continuous–>Select integrator from the block list

✓ For Multiplexer

Simulink –>Signal routing –> Select Mux from the list

✓ For Display

Simulink –>Sink –> Scope

Don’t worry if you don’t know where your component is. There is a Search bar
provided in the library browser where you can type your component and search for it.

Block Creation & Making Connections:
Select and drag all components to the model window and make connections: For
making connections first select the input port and ‘+’ symbol will appear and drag the
cursor to the output port ‘>’ symbol on the block.

Running Simulation
As the connections are made now your model is ready for running. Click on play
button in the model window. Alternatively Ctrl+T or Simulation –>Start in the model
window can be used to run the simulation model.
OUTPUT :

Figure 03: Simulink output

You can change the attributes of the axis by right click and specifying the axes
properties. You can also auto scale the axes for a better view of the output.
