Overview

This training will be held in English.

The course objectives are: 

• To understand EMT IBR models 
• To know how to build EMT IBR models 
• To understand which model to use for what studies
• To know how to verify the quality and the conformity of an IBR model 
• To know how to perform important EMT studies:
  • LVRT/HVRT
  • Temporary overvoltages
  • Switching
  • Stability 
  • Sub-Synchronous Control Interaction (SSCI)

Training structure 

The training lasts for 5 days, running daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The sessions will be conducted in English.
