Applications of PSCAD & Transient Studies

This course will cover the fundamental phenomena applicable to the study of electromagnetic transients in electrical networks. Several applications areas such as AC transients, fault and protection, transformer saturation, wind/solar energy, FACTS, and renewable integration, as well as other power systems topics will be discussed with practical examples serving to illustrate the subject. Several case studies will be applied in detail to highlight practical situations encountered by engineers in the field. 

Other power systems topics will be discussed with practical examples serving to illustrate the subjects. Several case studies will be applied in detail to highlight practical situations encountered by engineers in the field.

Course participants will be able to experiment with the case studies in an interactive hands-on workshop environment using PSCAD Simulation software. Attendees can request coverage of specific topics of interest.

Duration: 3 Days

Who should attend?

This course is intended for practising engineers, graduate students, and researchers in power systems and power electronics who are interested in developing an in-depth understanding of the modern tools available for the analysis of transient events in the network. The course is intended for existing PSCAD users as well as introductory users.

PSCAD Experience

Previous experience with the PSCAD software tool is not required.
