Simulation of power system transients with EMTP®

Course Highlights

The course is based on the usage of EMTP®. All presentations are based on EMTP® examples.

1. Introduction to power system transients

2. Introduction to modeling methodology

3. Presentation and demonstration of various transient phenomena

4. Advanced models and tools

5. Study of complex systems with renewable energies

6. HVDC transmission theory

7. HVDC system modeling and studies

8. Training on EMTP® software and applications

The duration of the training is 3 days.
The training starts at 8 am and ends at 5:30 pm every day.
The training is presented in English.

The participants will be given access to EMTP® software during the course and can also receive a trial licence for 15 days.
