Introduction to PSCAD for Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) Studies
Workshop Overview
This workshop is designed to provide a practical introduction to Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) studies and their application in modern power systems using PSCAD. The session focuses on industry-oriented use cases such as switching transients, GIS applications, and lightning studies,TRV, HVDC. It is intended to help participants understand the relevance of EMT studies and evaluate whether a detailed PSCAD training program aligns with their career goals.
Topics to be Discussed
1. Overview of EMT Studies
- - Introduction to electromagnetic transients, time-domain analysis, and their importance in EHV/UHV systems.
2. Limitations of Conventional Studies
- - Why load flow, short-circuit, and RMS-based tools are inadequate for fast transient phenomena.
3. Introduction to PSCAD
- - Overview of PSCAD features, modeling approach, and its acceptance in utility and consultancy projects.
4. Industry Applications of EMT Studies
- - Practical use cases including transformer energization, switching transients, VFTO in GIS, TRV, and lightning overvoltages.
5. Live PSCAD Demonstration
- - Demonstration of a basic EMT case with model setup, key parameters, and result interpretation.
6. Interpretation of EMT Results
- - Understanding waveforms, peak values, and insulation coordination from an engineering perspective.
7. Interactive Q/A Session
