Title: Efficient Graphical Output Management in Power System Studies: The ETAP Plot Manager

Abstract: In electrical power system analysis, post-processing of simulation results is as critical as the simulation itself. ETAP (Electrical Transient Analyzer Program) incorporates a dedicated module known as the Plot Manager. This paper explores the functionality, data architecture, and application of the Plot Manager for visualizing, comparing, and exporting simulation data. The tool facilitates enhanced decision-making by providing engineers with customizable, multi-case graphical outputs for transient stability, harmonics, and protection coordination studies.
