This study looks into the use of ETAP software for SCA on a power system's single line diagram (SLD). The goals of the study are to Emphasize the role that SCA plays in power system protection strategies. Use SLDs to illustrate how the power system is represented. Describe the SCA functionalities of the ETAP software. A summary of the methodology section will be given, detailing how to create and run a SCA within ETAP with the supplied SLD. The main conclusions will be discussed, including the following: • Determination of fault currents at systemically important places. • Determining whether possible equipment overloads occur in fault circumstances. Short circuit analysis (SCA) Power system protection Single line diagram (SLD) ETAP software Fault current calculation Equipment overloading Power system resilience Protective device selection Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
