Most Famous Tool "PSCAD"

PSCAD/EMTDC is a general-purpose time domain simulation
program for multi-phase power systems and control networks.
It is mainly dedicated to the study of transients in power systems.

A full library of advanced components allows a user to precisely model interactions
between electrical networks and loads in various configurations. A graphical user
interface and numerous control tools make PSCAD a convenient and interactive
tool for both analysis and design of any power system.

Intuitive and visual design environment

PSCAD seamlessly integrated visual environment features all aspects of
conducting a simulation, including circuit assembly, run-time control,
analysis and reporting. Users can easily interact with the components
during the simulation because of the variety of control tools.

The solution meters and the plotting traces are also visible and
available during the simulation. Signals can be analysed in real
time

 Extensive Components Library.

PSCAD features a broad range of models for power system and power electronic
studies such as:
● Frequency dependent
transmission lines and cables,
● Transformers (classical model
with saturation/Umec model)
● Various machines,
(synchronous, asynchronous, DC)
● Various turbines
(hydro, steam, wind),
● Converters & FACTS,
● Drive & control blocks,
● Relays.

Fast and Accurate

The time steps interpolation technique combines accuracy and quickness: it allows
the simulation to precisely represent the commutations of breakers and switches
in the electrical model, for any model’s size, up to extremly large models.
PSCAD results are solved as instantaneous values, and can be converted to phasor
magnitudes and angles via built-in transducers and measurement functions
such as true-rms meters or FFT spectrum analysers. The PSCAD simulation tool
can duplicate the response of a power system at any frequency, because the
computation step chosen by the user can go from several nanoseconds to several
seconds.
