Use of PSCAD-EMTDC in Power Systems Education and Research y

This document discusses the use of PSCAD-EMTDC electromagnetic transient simulation software in power systems education and research. It provides examples of how PSCAD-EMTDC can be used to model different power system components in detail, obtain realistic waveforms, act as a "digital laboratory", and study various power electronics, transients, and power quality issues through examples like transmission line modeling, HVDC transmission, short circuit tests on machines, thyristor controlled reactors, line energization, and switching overvoltages.
