PSCAD is a simulation tool for analyzing power system transients. PSCAD™ is the professional’s simulation tool for analyzing power systems transients. It was also known as PSCAD/EMTDC™ or simply EMTDC™. EMTDC is the numerical simulation engine, which is now an integral part of the GUI based package, simply called PSCAD. PSCAD is most suitable for simulating the time domain instantaneous responses, also popularly known as electro-magnetic transients (emt) of electrical systems. The basis of EMTDC is the same as the emt algorithm invented by Hermann Dommel in the mid-sixties and used in his original program called EMTP®. PSCAD is the first ever fully integrated professional GUI based emt program and now used by professionals and academics alike worldwide for nearly...
