About Course

The ETAP Renewables Course is designed to provide engineers, researchers, and professionals with a deep understanding of renewable energy system modeling, simulation, and analysis using ETAP software. This course covers a wide range of renewable energy technologies, including photovoltaic (PV) systems and wind turbine generators (WTG), as well as their impact on the grid.

Participants will gain hands-on experience in modeling central and string inverter-based PV plants, wind farms, and hybrid renewable energy systems. Additionally, the course covers essential topics such as power flow analysis, fault calculations, harmonic analysis, and transient stability assessment.
