Analysis of Transients in Power Systems

Why do power system disturbances occur?

How do you find the causes of transient events?

Can you analyze the complexities of your power system?

Register for this training organized by the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The course is set up to have instructor-led lectures and discussions intertwined with instructor-led hands-on software analysis exercises.

In this course you will:

• Learn to predict the outcome of transient events on power systems.
• Construct power systems models, apply and analyze various transient events.
• Design mitigation options and compare the effectiveness of such options.

If you are familiar with power systems, you will benefit. The case study approach introduces the various families of transients and allows you to develop understanding on transient phenomena. If you already have a background on power system transients, you will still expand your knowledge on various aspects related to transient phenomena and novelties in this field. 

All exercises are based on EMTP®. Attendees will receive time-limited access to the current version of EMTP®.

Course highlights:

• Introduction to modeling tools for power systems analysis 
• Introduction to EMTP® using case studies 
• Introduction to combined load-flow and time-domain simulations
• Power system stability studies and prediction of unstable operating modes
• Analysis of unbalanced systems 
• Inverter-based resources (IBR) 
• Renewable energy studies 
• Switching transients
