ENERTECH performs contract software development and has produced many custom applications for the electric utility industry, EPRI, DOE and commercial clients. We have experience with the latest software development tools for generating Microsoft Windows applications for Windows 3.x, 95 and NT. We also have experience developing database applications, custom mapping software, and specialized embedded software for data recorders and medical instrumentation. ENERTECH has a strong team of software designers, developers, testers and support staff. We understand the entire software development life cycle from inception and design to documentation and final acceptance. We have the resources to address each phase of a software development project with a strong commitment to quality. The following paragraphs briefly describe some of the types of software that has been developed at ENERTECH
Database Applications Development
ENERTECH has designed and developed database-driven software applications for large
research projects and custom engineering applications. We have developed the complex
schema’s and the software to access each database. The databases are SQL and ODBC
compliant, having multi-user (network) and single user (workstation) access. We have
experience with Microsoft Access, WATCOM SQL, dBASE, and R:BASE.
3-D Graphics
ENERTECH has developed applications that make use of CAD style graphical inputs with 3-D
views of the data. The 3-D views can be rotated and zoomed to obtain the desired
perspective. We have also developed routines for displaying calculation results of
engineering parameters as 3-D surface plots. All graphics are interactive and can be
displayed in several different views. All graphics are displayed in color and support
output to color printers for optimum presentation impact.
User Interface Design
ENERTECH has designed and developed sophisticated, but intuitive graphical user interfaces
for several engineering applications that operate in the Microsoft Windows environment.
Our interfaces range from simple dialog box and spreadsheets to advanced graphical input.
Custom Mapping Applications
ENERTECH developed a custom mapping application that enabled a utility client to
graphically enter the location of its underground transmission feeders which were then
overlain on city street maps. The data was stored in a database so that a multitude of
information about the feeders could be displayed for later reference. In addition to
routing information, data such as voltage, pipe diameters, flow rates as well as service
dates and repairs were all stored in the database. All the information could be quickly
called up for review and all maps could be panned, zoomed and printed.
DOS to Windows Application
Conversion
ENERTECH has experience moving existing DOS applications to the Microsoft Windows
environment. We have completely rewritten some FORTRAN programs in C as we moved them to
Windows. For more autonomous engineering applications we have left the core computation
code as a DOS application and opted to add a Windows user interface front end. This
preserved the integrity of the calculations while making the software easier to use.
CD-ROM Tutorials
ENERTECH has developed tutorial software for other clients that teaches users fundamental engineering
concepts and how to use instrumentation. The tutorials make use of a
variety of multimedia formats including audio and video. We have designed and developed
the tutorials using many of the most popular authoring tools. We have created all of the
media content ourselves. We have the capability of developing CD-ROM tutorials
for your special interests and subjects, and can assist you in the development
of custom tutorials.
Web Site Development
ENERTECH designed and created all of the content at it’s web site. We have the
capability to develop HTML, tables, frames, forms, animated graphics, audio, PDF files and
variety of files formats for downloading. We have developed an engineering calculation
applet called B-FAST that was written in the Java programming language and resides on our
web site. You may visit our web site at www.enertech.net to see the kinds of content we
can produce.
