I actually remember PSSE Dominating the market like 10 years ago*
never even heard of ETAP back then...
look at him now...

Nice analysis...hehehe

this only reflects egpet users interest and the results are being highly influenced by users area (i think many if not most are from arabic countries). i doubt the real global usage/interest looks even closely related to this (could be that ETAP is at 95% there/lol/i hope not). also many software packages cannot be really compared (PSCAD with ETAP or CDEGS with PLS-CADD for eg) so it's not really a market analysis but more one to reflect the biased interest egpet users have. some other very good (imo) electrical software is basically neglected here (PSS Sincal is just one of them). at my place for eg ETAP is not even in top 3 and in many other european countries is the same.

Here's the ETAP user list:

We need more focus on PLS Cadd:
Here's their cool user list

Plus Digsilent Power factory makes up my top three SW.

Man that's a top analysis chart you did Ionioni. Once a gain a Great Contribution. Thanks; as I was wondering that very question this week and here's a list I was going through to figure out the best SW to brush up on but it's an overwhelming list:

Egpet should be called Iranpet as that's where most of the contribution is coming from I thinks. (Iran has always had the best forums; even I know that and I'm not from an Arabic Nation) ETAP is popular because it was promoted as being able to be used by any one with no prior electrical or engineering knowledge and from what I've seen it's pretty well true. It has dumbed down consultancies completely and those users that operate it have no idea of the theory behind it or why or how it works and that's what ETAP was designed to be for; so the real engineers with the real knowledge can be working elsewhere on other parts of the project that require their full comprehension. ETAP also has so many integrated modules and that's why PSCAD and PSS-Sincal have withered away. ETAP is Digsilent PF for dummies; but you pay for that usability in its price. None the less ETAP is one super smart program even if its users aren't.

I love going through the old 1940's; 50's; 60's and 70's pre-computer engineering designs; back when engineers really had to know what they were doing and when they worked out the calculations with their trusty slide rule. They had to understand every concept and worked often from first principles. Now we think we're so smart with our smart SW but the reality is the SW is smart and not us. No matter how smart we are we can't match the SW speed; iterations and accuracy. So AI wins. (I do love those iterations though) We instead become facilitators and not Engineers. At best we've become technicians.

I know Surveyors who walked away from the profession because in minutes a drone* with radar GPS and SW can do the calculations and triangulation that would have taken a surveyor years to do. Surveyors have become obsolete. Engineers are next.

in my place* etap is gaining lead due to the effort of their marketing staff.. there are also some clients who preferred a certain software because the existing electrical model they have is for that software.

i think etap is leading the market mostly in arab countries (middle east). my company owns several analysis software e.g. etap* skm* paladin (edsa). i remember one our project uses two analysis software (skm & edsa)..

I agree* I think ETAP popular America and Middle East.

For me* favorite software: DIgSILENT PowerFactory* SKM* CDEGS.

Where is easypower?
