The Electricity Market Report 2023 released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted that global electricity demand will accelerate starting this year, despite a slowdown in demand growth last year. “As a leader in sustainable development, Schneider Electric has continuously accelerated digitization and electrification in its sustainability journey over the past 15 years and is committed to facilitating Hong Kong’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050,” said Jonathan Chiu, President of Schneider Electric Hong Kong. “The new ETAP Digital Twin Platform will strengthen the digitization of the entire lifecycle of modern power systems to help the industry achieve an energy transition and reduce carbon emissions. Through the ETAP platform, we aim to enhance grid flexibility, deliver the benefits of point-to-point energy management, and promote the sustainable development of renewable energy in Hong Kong.”
Combining energy management and engineering solutions, ETAP integrates software suites such as ALPI, IGE+XAO, and BIM Electric, further optimising energy management systems. By expanding its software portfolio to include the SEE Electrical software suite, Caneco ONE, and Advanced Electrical Design for Revit, ETAP has developed a comprehensive energy management platform, providing virtual modelling and comprehensive analysis for the entire lifecycle of power systems, from design, construction, operation, and maintenance. This in turn offers innovative software solutions that meet the diverse needs of utilities, data centres, public transport systems, power plants, and end users. To date, ETAP has provided services to over 20,000 corporate users worldwide. In the foreseeable future, ETAP will achieve full data integration to support the infrastructure, building construction, and manufacturing industries in achieving point-to-point management.
The new integrated ETAP Digital Twin Platform provides a complete solution and systems delivery for the entire lifecycle of renewable energy usage, from design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Its functions, such as distributed energy access analysis and verification and electrical power quality analysis and optimisation, effectively ensure the safety and stability of power systems before and after the integration of renewable energy sources and enhance the value and economic benefits that renewable energy delivers to society.
“ETAP enables power system operators, engineers, and facility managers to better design, analyse, visualise, and optimise their power system operations effectively. The multi-dimensional digital twin technology of ETAP accelerates digital transformation and enables power system design with automation knowledge and network operations to be carried out with design knowledge. ETAP customers leverage our integrated, secure, cost-effective, and sustainable platform to drive electrical system lifecycle transformation and achieve efficient energy management,” said Tanuj Khandelwal, Chief Executive Officer of ETAP.
