Description
Please note: Previous experience in PowerFactory basics and some experience in handling of PowerFactory time domain simulation functions, or attendance at an introductory course, is essential. The Self E-Learning course Introductory Course: Load Flow and Short Circuit Calculation, for example, can be used to acquire the necessary basic knowledge and the Introductory Course: Time Domain Simulation, can be used to acquire the necessary basic knowledge on time domain simulations.
The course gives an overview of electromagnetic transients in power systems and the simulation techniques available in pf for their assessment. As such, it provides the participant with the necessary background to understand complex transient mechanisms in the power systems while emphasising the models required for EMT-type simulations.
The training introduces the different transient categories, from temporary, over switching up to lightning transients, in the sequence typically required for an insulation coordination study. Besides the review of the theoretical fundamentals, multiple hands-on exercises will assist the participant to familiarise with the EMT-simulation in PowerFactory.
Important hint: This training will be held for PowerFactory 2025. Older versions may have a different structure in the menus or do not yet have some of the functions presented.
