Advanced training with EMTP - Montreal

Training objectives

The objective of this course is to give to beginner and intermediate participants a good hands-on experience on the simulation and analysis of power systems transients in general. The course is based on the usage of EMTP for demonstrating concepts and teaching through practical problem cases. EMTP contributes greatly to the simplification of complex power system studies and to the visualisation and accurate simulation of large systems. 

 

Training structure 

The duration of the course is 5 days.
The course starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m. every day.
Lunch breaks are from noon to 1:00 p.m.

 

Computer and temporary EMTP license:

Each participant will have access to a personal computer to learn about presented topics and to analyze available practical examples.

 

Intented audience 

EMTP users that want to increase their level of knowledge on the software usage and applications.

Engineering personnel familiar with the basics of electric power system analysis that need to get more in-depth practical knowledge of power system transients simulation and analysis in areas such as:

•  Insulation coordination of HV substations and transmission lines;

•  Electromagnetic and electromechanical transients;

•  Practical system studies
