Shorten Project Delivery Time & Improve Design Quality

Network Project Modeling & Management

Overview

ETAP Network Project Management (NetPM™) provides a platform for collaborative engineering using smart management tools to shorten the time for power system modeling and studies from months to weeks. 

• Change Management
• Review and Approval Process
• Simultaneous Modeling and Analysis
• Joint Operation and Control
• Collaborate in Parallel from Anywhere ETAP NetPM™ offers a powerful time-saving solution for topology synchronization, data integration, model coordination & validation, and information transfer across the entire life cycle of the electrical network from modeling to operation and from engineering-consultants to owner-operators.

NetPM Key Features

• Collaborative multi-user model creation, data collection and validation
• Concurrent system studies, analyses, and reports
• Topology synchronization and data validation between ETAP Desktops and etapAPP™
• Single source repository for all data changes
• Seamless synchronization of annotations & graphics
• Manage one model between consultants and owner-operators
• User Access Management with role-based and password authentication manager
• Revert data using local change queue

Key Benefits

• Cut disparate, uncoordinated work on a project from contributing members and save not only time but also resources and effort
• Remove sequential, re-circulation, and repetition of studies due to conflicting project solutions
• Allow engineers to model and analyze projects simultaneously from anywhere
• Track project changes, progress and share study results with team members
• Automatic cloud-based project synchronization and distribution to authorized team members
• Manage projects between consultants and owner-operators
• Supports real-time and asynchronous operation

Increase Engineering Design Quality

Quickly identify changes from multiple engineers made to a project and synchronize the changes. NetPM provides a platform for improved design validation through collaboration.

Improve Productivity

Increase productivity by having multiple engineers working in parallel on the same project. NetPM removes the time delay associated with the traditional sequential process of single engineer project access by allowing multiple engineers to simultaneously work on the same model and run various studies.

Accelerate Project Schedules

With tools for a complete multi-user management system, efficiency of project completion will drastically increase. Whether data collection and project updates are done from etapAPP™ or from an engineering workstation, all changes are simultaneously reflected on the master model and approved updates are broadcasted to selected users.
