HUNTSVILLE, AL, May 13, 2008 - Operation Technology Inc. (OTI), developers and designers of the ETAP enterprise solution for electrical power systems, has joined the Intergraph SmartPlant alliance program. Using OTI's ETAP software analysis platform together with Intergraph's SmartPlant Electrical solution, the combined interface allows for the design and validation of power distribution systems prior to delivery and installation, promoting higher quality, greater reliability and safer designs in less time.

ETAP is the most comprehensive analysis platform for the design, simulation, operation, control, optimization and automation of generation, transmission, distribution and industrial power systems. ETAP offers a suite of fully integrated software solutions including arc flash, load flow, short circuit, relay coordination, cable ampacity, transient stability, optimal power flow and more. Its modular functionality can be tailored to fit the needs of any company, from small to large power systems.

SmartPlant Electrical addresses the electrical needs of the entire life cycle of the plant, from concept to detailed design through operations and maintenance, including start-up, continuous operation, emergencies and shutdowns. It generates single-line diagrams and schematics automatically, creating graphical reports based on data provided by the engineers.

Together, SmartPlant Electrical and ETAP provide a total engineering solution where the power distribution system is designed with SmartPlant Electrical, interfaced to ETAP for validation and verification, and then imported back for updates as required to create the deliverable system for owner operators and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms. This solution is viable for all areas of the process, power (including nuclear for which ETAP is fully certified), and marine industries that require power distribution designs.

"Some of the largest design firms, power utilities, nuclear power plants, and government agencies are ETAP and SmartPlant Electric users and they need an easy and intelligent way to transfer design and analysis process across their organizations, regardless of location or solution platform," said Farrokh Shokooh, president and CEO of OTI. "Our participation in Intergraph SmartPlant Alliance program means offering a unified electrical design solution - delivering to our customers a higher-quality user experience, with greater reliability and lower total cost of ownership."

"We are pleased OTI has joined our SmartPlant Alliance program to provide our mutual users additional electrical design capabilities," said Patrick Holcomb, executive vice president, Intergraph Process, Power and Marine. "The functionality of our SmartPlant Electrical solution, combined with ETAP, provides a superior offering for owner operators and the EPC companies that design and construct industrial power systems. We look forward to building on this relationship to continue to provide even better solutions in the future," he said.
