ElectricalTransient Analyzer Program (ETAP) is an electrical network modeling and simulation software tool[1] used by power systems engineers to create an "electrical digital twin" and analyze electrical power system dynamics,[2] transients and protection.[3]

Schneider Electric took controlling stake in ETAP on November 16, 2020, to spearhead smart and green electrification.[4] The current CEO of ETAP is Tanuj Khandelwal who previously held the role of CTO and has been employed at ETAP for over 20 years.


Power system simulation requires an electrical digital twin consisting of a power system network model that includes system connectivity, topology, electrical device characteristics, historical system response and real-time operations data in order to make offline or online decisions. ETAP power engineering software utilizes an electrical digital twin in order for electrical engineers and operators to perform following studies in offline or online mode.[citation needed]


Unlike the previous generation Checkpoint, which was offered in aluminum as well as a carbon model, the new generation is offered in an aluminum option and two tiers of carbon. This review will focus primarily on the SLR model; however, it is safe to say that the SL and SLR models will ride nearly the same. With this being the SLR7 Etap model, the price is just over $11,000cad.


The biggest difference for most potential riders will be the build kits. The SLR models come with higher spec builds, not just in terms of groupsets, but the finishing kits, carbon wheels, as well as all of the SRAM, builds come with power meters.


Unlike other brands who took their existing bikes and slackened the head tube and called it a day, Trek went a different direction. While the head angle remains the same at 72.2, the bikes have been lengthened by 2 cm in the top tube. Not only does this eliminate the toe overlap that the previous generation suffered from, but it also allows riders to run a shorter stem should they want to.


Adding to the comfort on the rough terrain is the isospeed seat mast system. While isospeed has been around for years, this is the latest iteration of it, which seems to offer quite a bit more compliance due to the carbon strut design. Unfortunately, mine has given me a bit of grief, which has required a frame replacement. Trek has assured me that this is not a common issue. (I look forward to putting more miles on the new frame next year to test this theory.) The SL frame has a less complex design that utilizes flex in the seat tube for compliance. Thankfully, Trek has not gone the way of other brands where they introduce suspension forks and frames. As we gravitate towards larger volume tires, I am starting to question the need for these complex, weight-inducing, ride quality improvements.


Gravel bikes see the worst of the worst conditions so having an easily serviced bottom bracket is a really big deal. The previous model had a pressfit90 bottom bracket. Not only are these not easily serviced at home, unless you have a bearing press, but there have also been reports of the housing enlarging with wear and causing bottom bracket fitment issues. The new model has a threaded T47 bottom bracket, one of the few things that manufacturers are starting to agree on. A threaded bottom bracket is less prone to creaking and is much easier to remove and service than one of the press-fit variety.


With many people looking to upgrade their first generation gravel bike or wanting to step up from a cyclocross bike to a proper gravel bike, the Checkpoint is definitely worth a look. The changes that were made to this generation, while more evolutionary than revolutionary, have taken the bike from pretty damn good to almost perfect. Not only is it extremely comfortable on the roughest of terrain, it is also extremely quick when you hit the long, open stretches of gravel.


SKM is probably the most widely used software package in the industry, providing a complete line of electrical engineering software that includes SKM Power Tools for Windows and Arc Flash Hazard Analysis. As with any software or tool, it is only as good as the operator and information put in. Our engineers have received extensive training and have the field experience to get the job done accurately and correctly. We also have years of experience the allow us to look at the results from the software and recognize when those results do not match expectations. SKM has proven, time and again, it is reliable with an extensive library, and a great customer support team for those times we need them.


ETAP is another widely used electrical system analysis software package that offers a host of integrated solutions including: arc flash, load flow, short circuit, transient stability, relay coordination, cable ampacity, optimal power flow and more. Both SKM and ETAP provide our team of highly skilled engineers the option of drawing the whole electrical system as a one-line diagram. Once the engineer inputs the information in for each component, the program conducts all the necessary calculations at once and makes necessary updates in calculations as changes are made. This helps to ensure the highest levels of quality control. Additionally, SKM and ETAP model files can be imported into AutoCAD, and both software systems allow for customizable labels though Microsoft Word.


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.


The ETAP Software provides an easy to use, user friendly environment along with a comprehensive user manual that helps user through any problem encountered during simulation. The Basic interface of ETAP is shown in figure below.


ETAP software is intelligently divided into different toolbars according to their functionality. User can easily access each toolbar while creating one line diagram of a power system model. Besides toolbars, there are different options available to perform analyses on the system model through study cases, configurations, edit toolbars. Each one of them is described in this tutorial.


Mode toolbar is located on top of GUI jus tbelow the file menu. Different Analysis Modes can be selected from this Mode Toolbar according to the requiremnt of the project. In ETAP 16, a complete set of analyses has been provided through the mode toolbar as given in the list below:


As depicted clearly from above toolbar, once Load Flow Mode is selected; we can select any option from its Analysis Toolbar to run the load flow calculations, display results & alters, generate and export report and even collect live data from a real power system.


Could I please ask a specific question regards the ETAP software out of the box.

Does the software include basic starter models for equipment such as generators?

Can we build a model for an Islanded network using parameters already included within the software library?

Back in January 2018, we announced the validation of a new model of atopic dermatitis in mice using topical applications of 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) over a period of 5 weeks in Balb/c mice (Newsletter #1). This validation allowed us to show that the model reproduces the essential characteristics of human pathology, and in particular:


2019 has been a busy year so far; we have been able to carry out several studies on this model for international customers, including the induction of more than 300 mice in total. In addition to confirming the robustness of the model, these independent studies have allowed us to evaluate 5 new reference treatments. All this work combined serves to strengthen the value of this model as a preclinical pharmacology tool.


Intra- and inter-test variabilities were assessed on the basis of the Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (ADSI), the most widely described and used primary endpoint in rodent studies (Bak et al., Exp. Dermatol., 2019). The ADSI, running from 0 to 12, was measured after 32 days of induction of atopic dermatitis, just before treatment initiation, in 4 independent studies having strictly identical induction protocols. The data show very high repeatability, with intra-test CVs of between 3.3% and 8.7%, and a repeatability CV of 7.1%. In addition, the induction of atopic dermatitis is reproducible from one study to another with a reproducibility CV of 10.1% (Fig. 1).


Initial validation of the model focused on 3 dermocorticoids for topical application. Over the past year, we have expanded our range of reference treatments using molecules having clinically proven efficacy from several pharmacological classes and/or administered by different routes (Tab. 1). All these treatments resulted in a significant decrease in ADSI and an improvement in other parameters measured, in comparison with control animals. They are now available for your preclinical studies.


It affects about 10 million people in the world, leading to a significant reduction in quality of life, and its incidence is continuously rising in westernized countries. The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is unknown, but the disease seems to be correlated with specific immune and inflammatory mechanisms. Keratinocytes, which are the main type of epidermal cells, play a key role in the pathogenesis as they release various inflammatory mediators. The majority of atopic dermatitis patients have elevated serum IgE levels and infiltration of immune cells such as mast cells, eosinophils and lymphocytes in the skin. Mast cell activation by IgE releases inflammatory mediators such as histamine, as well as cytokines, which play an important role in allergic inflammation.
