Get started with EMTP® - Beginners

Overview

This training will be held in English. 

This course is designed to help participants gain a solid foundation in electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation using EMTP^®. By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of EMT simulation

• Create and configure circuits in EMTP^®

• Simulate and visualize waveforms

• Model key power system components

No prior experience is required - the course includes hands-on exercises and guided examples to build both theoretical understanding and practical skills.

Computer and temporary EMTP^® licenses

Every participant is required to bring their own personal computer. Temporary EMTP^® licenses will be provided to participants for the course's duration. 

Intended audience

• T&D electrical engineers  
• Consultants  
• Industry electrical engineers  
• Research personnel in industry, utilities, universities and consulting companies involved in power systems studies
•  Post-graduated students.

The course objectives are:

•    Understand the basics of EMT simulation 
•    Know how to create a circuit in EMTP
