Implementación del módulo etapPy de ETAP para realizar el estudio de flujo de carga y cortocircuito en un sistema eléctrico de potencia

Abstract

This academic project is focused on the application of the etapPy module of the ETAP software to perform load flow and short-circuit studies in electrical power systems. As a result, a series of audiovisual material was created as a tutorial, published on the YouTube channel belonging to the Power Electrical Systems Research Group of the Universidad Distrital (GISPUD), to facilitate the understanding and use of the module. The development of the material was the result of a continuous process of research and practical interaction with the software. The project covered the use of several libraries, the implementation of the ETAP API and advanced aspects such as remote connection, data graphing, electrical parameters adjustment and extraction of electrical variables during the execution of the studies, all of the above using Python as the main programming language. The methodology employed allowed a comprehensive understanding of the etapPy module and its capabilities, demonstrating its effectiveness in the analysis of electrical power systems. The tools provided by the software developers were mainly used, structuring topics and examples that illustrated in detail the use of the module. The resulting video tutorials present and explain these examples, facilitating access and understanding for both students of the institution and others interested in the application of this specialized software.
