Powerful Tool of Power Systems Analysis
PSCAD is a professional simulation tool for analyzing power systems transients, known as PSCAD/ EMTDC TM, as well. EMTDC™ is the numerical simulation engine that is now the integral part of GUI based package, called PSCAD.
PSCAD’s one distinction lies under its ability in the time domain simulation, instantaneous responses, also popularly known as electro-magnetic transients (emt) of electrical systems. PSCAD is the first ever fully integrated professional GUI based emt program and now used by professionals and academics worldwide.
Graphical Interface of the PSCAD greatly boosts the efficiency of the simulation model. It allows the user to schematically construct a circuit, interactively run the simulation, visualize and analyze the results, and manage the data in a completely integrated graphical environment.
Horizons
PSCAD™/EMTDC™ is more than just an electromagnetic transients simulation tool. Lean Power Solutions, along with MHI provide support expert advice on electromagnetic transients studies, customized training, and assistance with installation and licensing.
Types of Studies
Utilities, manufacturers, engineers, consultants, researchers and academicians are regular users of PSCAD. Followings are exemplary studies that could be accomplished in PSCAD:
- Investigation of over-voltages in a power system due to faults or breaker operations
- Investigation of over-voltages in a power system due to lightning strikes
- Insulation coordination studies
- Investigation of the harmonics generated by a SVC, HVDC link, STATCOM, machine drive (virtually any power electronic device) using accurate models of thyristors, GTOs, IGBTs, diodes, etc. along with the detailed either analog of digital control systems.
- Investigation of the energy in a surge arrester in case of over voltages
- Investigation of the the Sub-Synchronous Resonances (SSR)
- STATCOMs or Voltage Source Converters modelling with in-detail control models
- Scrutinizing the interactions between SVCs, HVDS and other non- linear devices
- Study of the instabilities in the system
