EMP is a universal program system for digital simulation of transient phenomena of electromagnetic as well as electromechanical nature. It has extensive modelling capabilities and additional important features besides the computation of transients. It has been continuously developed through international contributions over the past 20 years.
This course is designed to give participants a good first-hand experience on EMTP, an overview of its capabilities, concepts for power system modelling by way of practical problem cases.
Objective
The objectives of this course are to get participants familiar with the usage of EMTP-type software and the study of power system transients: how to model power systems, what scenarios to run, how to simulate complex networks and control systems, and how to interpret and verify results.
Target Audience
The course is intended for those who do not use EMTP to study power-system transients, switching transients, lightning transients & insulation coordination. The audience could be from various disciplines such as supervisors, engineers, electricians, technicians and technologists, and also to those in the engineering and construction companies and manufacturers, wind project developers, consultants, and others who require an in-depth understanding of electromagnetic transient modelling and simulation.
Upon successful completion of this course, the participants will have reliably demonstrated the ability to:
- Get familiar with the usage of EMTP software and the study of power-system transients, switching transients, lightning transients & insulation coordination 2. Understand the basics of EMTP, its applicability and benefits as modeling tools for power systems transients over conventional transient stability programs
- Simulate real control systems interacting between control systems and power network components represented in a power network system
- Pursue studies in power system engineering designs and for solving problems and unexplained failures
- Determine the ratings of sub-station equipment and insulation levels for the selection of surge arresters (ratings and locations) to protect substation equipment from lightning and switching surges considering the frequency dependence of parameters of lines and cables connected to the substation
- Model nonlinear inductance, capacitance, hysteresis reactor and voltage source to study, analyze and eliminate ferroresonance
- Advance a career in power systems operation, planning and design, for professional development, and/or conduct post-graduate studies in system transients and abnormal conditions during the equipment’s operating life cycle.
