Training: 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

• Know how to create a circuit in EMTP

• Know how to simulate and visualize waveforms

• Know how to model 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

This training is ideal for T&D electrical engineers, consultants, industry professionals, researchers, and post-graduate students involved in power system studies.
