PSCAD EMTCD Software overview

Discover the world’s most advanced power systems EMT simulation software!

With PSCAD (Power System Computer Aided Design ) you can build, simulate, and model your systems with ease, providing limitless possibilities in power system simulation. The EMTCD (Electromagnetic Transient including DC) is the numerical simulation engine that resolves complex mathematics equations involved in the simulations.

Traditionally, an EMT-type program has been used to study very high-frequency, fast, short-duration transients. Currently, with the integration of renewable energy into the grid, EMP-type programs play a critical role in the design and modeling of IBRs (Inverter-based resources).  Therefore, EMT simulations are readily applicable to the design and integration of HVDC (High-Voltage DC), FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System), and other power electronics-based power system devices.
