ETAP or SKM or other design software?
(OP)
My company wants to purchase some EE design software.
Does anyone have any experience or recommendation about ETAP or SKM or any other design software?
Is ETAP getting to be the most popular?
We want something that can connect at our power plant and record and analyze transients there
causing buses to nuisance trip.
And then we would know what parameters to change to avoid the nuisance tripping.

I thought the GUI was nicer in ETAP.
I don't think SKM can record live data of your system? You should install some PQ meters for a week or so and take it from there.

I don't know what parameters you are adjusting but we ,a utility, use relay test sets and playback comtrade files to verify the performance of a relay to unique or new settings. I don't know how much confidence you can have as to how your relays will operate during a transient event without testing them directly with the waveforms.
