ERACS is ERA Technology's suite of power systems analysis software. It allows network design and planning engineers to simulate electrical power system networks quickly and easily to judge their correct, safe and timely operation under user defined, and sometimes arduous, situations. ERACS power engineering software is at the forefront of development taking account of both the continuing pressure for ever easier operational software and the increasing technical needs of modern engineering. The name ERACS has been synonymous with quality, reliability, accuracy, ease of use and adaptability to changing market needs.
The economic design of power systems is critically dependent on being able to predict the system behaviour under both normal and abnormal operating conditions. Hand calculations and estimates are possible but increasingly expensive in engineers' time and run the risk of introducing errors resulting in significant safety and reliability implications. ERACS saves costs, reduces risk, improves quality, and increases reliability and safety.

System
ERACS is PC-based,
fully integrated and has an easy-to-use interface.
The data is entered once only in a central database,
making data management a very simple procedure. Networks
for simulation by ERACS may be either radial or fully
interconnected systems or a mixture of both.
ERACS can be
used in power systems engineering for modelling, loadflow
analysis, fault analysis, harmonic analysis, system
stability and protection co-ordination on all types
of power system, including wind turbine modelling,
AVR modelling and governor modelling.

Quality
ERACS is developed under ERA's ISO 9001 and TickIT certified
quality system.
Why ERA?
The ERACS suite of power systems analysis software is
in constant use by experienced ERA power engineers for system
design and planning purposes. Therefore, they have direct
input into the program development to incorporate best practices
currently in use within the electrical industry . ERACS' wide
user base (including offshore, marine, mining, utilities,
transport and academia) is also encouraged to contribute to
the development and direction of the programs. In this way
the ERACS programs are constantly moving forward, providing
real benefits in terms of reduced study times and improved
technical capability to users, and in meeting the specific
needs of engineers with practical problems to solve.
The provision of a dedicated ERACS user website and support 'hotline' further
benefits its user base. Staffed by electrical/software engineers
with a great depth of understanding of the latest programming
techniques and tools, they also have direct access to ERA's
own leading power systems engineers for technical support
in times of need. ERA prides itself on its fast response time
to technical queries from its software users.
