Wind Power – Modeling & Simulation in an Electromagnetic Transient platform –
Training Course Outline
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will cover the fundamental of wind power and its integration into the electric grid.
Electromagnetic transient program based simulation plays a vital role in a wide range of wind integration
aspects. These are highlighted and discussed in the classroom. Several case studies will be applied in
detail to highlight practical situations encountered by engineers in the field. Course attendees will be
able to experiment with the case studies in an interactive hands-on workshop environment using the
PSCAD Simulation software. No previous experience with PSCAD software is required.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course is intended for practicing engineers, graduate students, and researchers in power systems
and power electronics, who are interested in developing an in depth understanding of the modern tools
available for the analysis of transient events in the network.  The course is for existing PSCAD users as
well as introductory users.
