Case Study: SELECTY achieves faster, system-wide protection coordination validation with ETAP

SELECTY completes system-wide protection validation in one click with ETAP

SELECTY, an engineering consulting firm, faced challenges in validating the protection coordination and compliance of an existing FPSO vessel's electrical system. Their difficulties included maintaining consistency across multiple protection devices, assessing fault levels, verifying device configurations matched the installation, and managing setting revisions. To address this, they turned to ETAP's solutions, including its Power Simulator and Star™ Evaluation tools.

By implementing ETAP, SELECTY gained automated tools for protection zone identification and auto-generated TCC curves, which enabled rapid analysis and correction of settings. The solution from ETAP allowed for quick online corrections, consistent rule-based verification, and efficient handling of revisions. This resulted in a complete system-wide evaluation with a single click, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of their internal review process and ensuring alignment with electrical standards and best practices for their client.
