PSCAD Grid Compliance Training Course

This 39-session video-based training is designed to equip electrical and power system engineers with practical skills to perform grid compliance studies using PSCAD/EMTDC — the industry-standard electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation software for renewable energy integration.

The course covers all phases of grid compliance studies: from building power system component models (sources, loads, transmission lines, cables, transformers) to advanced topics like inverter modeling, power quality analysis, OEM inverter validation, BESS modeling, and dynamic performance testing.

????‍???? Primary Users
