EMTP-RV is the end result of the "EMTP Restructuring project" undertaken by the DCG in 1998 for modernizing the EMTP96 software. EMTP-RV is the enhanced computational engine and EMTPWorks its new graphical user interface (GUI). The package is a sophisticated computer program for the simulation of electromagnetic, electromechanical and control systems transients in multiphase electric power systems. It features a wide variety of modeling capabilities encompassing electromagnetic and electromechanical oscillations ranging in duration from microseconds to seconds. Examples of its use include switching and lightning surge analysis, insulation coordination, shaft torsional oscillations, ferroresonance and power electronics applications in power systems.
The objective of this course is to provide beginner and intermediate participants good hands-on experience in the simulation and analysis of power systems transients in general. The course is based on the usage of EMTP-RV for demonstrating concepts and teaching through practical problem cases. EMTP-RV, the recently released version of the DCG/EMTP, contributes greatly to the simplification of complex power system studies and to the visualisation and accurate simulation of large systems.
Note: This is a comprehensive 4-day course and involves hands-on computer work sessions. For software information, please visit www.emtp.com.
