Load Flow (or Power Flow Analysis) is one of the most important analysis to be

performed on a Power System. Load

Flow results help in maintinaing proper operation of a Power System and also to
design and extend the existing
Power System. Various industry standard softwares are used for load flow studies.
ETAP is such an application for
performing various analyses on simulated power networks.
This tutorial series is based on using ETAP for Power System Modeling, Design and
Analysis. In this tutorial, we’ll
show you how to build one-line diagram of a power network in ETAP and how to
perform Load Flow Analysis of the
system using Load Flow Toolbar. For an introduction to basics of ETAP and an
overview of ETAP toolbars, there’s a
tutorial Introduction to ETAP for Power System Modeling & Simulations .
