a powerful conversion tool is at your disposal to migrate your power system models from SKM to e tap
the built in conversion tool automatically maps and transforms the complete SK and power tools
projects including dapper and capture models into e tab this conversion tool provides a
detailed parameter mapping and conversion engine a smart protective device setting
library mapping interface an intelligent time current characteristic curve import option and
an enhanced one-line diagram schematic generator and auto layout tool to highlight how easy it is
to convert skm models into e tab this video will demonstrate the import process using a sample skm
project every e tab license includes a conversion utility to import skm projects created in power
tools version 6 7 & 8 the import tool can be accessed by selecting the import skm project
option from the data X menu in e tab after selecting the project file the import utility
will automatically find and list all of the sk and project 1 line drawings for conversion to
schematic layout options are provided for improved one-line diagram conversion choose between either
skm original drawing layout or e type auto layout to generate the one-line diagram model
option is provided to place the individual model drawings such as MCCS into e tabs
composite networks to generate intelligent multi-layered graphical presentation views
you can also choose to convert the skm capture time current characteristic or TCC curves into
e tap start TCC views before we continue with the project import let us explore how protective
devices are mapped between the skm project data and the e tab library parameters an intelligent
library mapping is provided to map the project specific protective device models and settings
the protected device library mapping interface makes it easy to view verify and modify the
setting between the skm project data and the selected tab library after the initial protected
device auto-mapping a log file is generated to show the status of the library mapping the
status will indicate fully mapped partially map incomplete or on map settings protective devices
such as fuse low voltage breaker and relay are automatically mapped from SKM project to their
equivalent a tab library manufacturer model and settings this allows the user to identify
and later update any missing settings that may not be a map automatically protected devices
can also be manually mapped where the equivalent library mapping is not found auto update mapping
provides a time-saving feature for batch updating of the library mapping for all components that
have the same manufacturer model and setting once the desired library mapping is confirmed
the cross-reference tables can be saved as a template for later use with other SK and project
conversions all available electrical parameters in sqm project are converted and transferred to
e tab the e tab one-line views are systematically generated to significantly reduce the man-hours
needed for one-line diagram rearrangement the auto-generated layouts can be further
enhanced using a tab Auto Bild and auto spacing and alignment tools to improve the representation
of the converted Model eat a bell ament's are created based on the original project components
along with all the required parameters to perform system analysis for example protecting device
settings are updated based on the library mapping references and displayed in the start TCC views
equipment such as transformers generators and loads are converted such that all their parameters
are automatically transferred for performing the relevant system studies the converted skm
project can now be used to full-spectrum system studies with in etabs verified and validated
power system analysis platform from load flow short-circuit protect the device coordination
our clash calculations - harmonics and transient stability studies and many more this powerful
model conversion tool significantly reduces the man-hours required to migrate from skm to e tab
by providing intelligent and custom mapping features to make the process easy efficient
and more complete in fact the model conversion process helps identify hidden limitations and
problems with the original model that can now be addressed and mitigated using the e taps offer
