NEWS: Schneider Electric and ETAP launch physics-based grid digital twin

Schneider Electric and ETAP are merging the worlds of grid planning and operations with a new physics-based digital twin solution. (Engineering)

  • Unveiled at DTECH, the new solution integrates ETAP’s engineering-grade simulation with Schneider’s operational platforms (One Digital Grid and ArcFM Web) to create a unified model that runs on live data.

  • Unlike standard digital twins that focus on visualization, this system is rooted in electrical physics—allowing operators to simulate switching actions, validate protection schemes, and analyze arc-flash risks before execution.
