Grid Integration of Renewables using PSCAD

Issued by UNSW

The course provides a basic knowledge of grid integration studies for renewables. PSCAD is the preferred software used by Network Service Providers (NSPs) and Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) in the National Electricity Market (NEM) for grid integration studies. Participants will learn to model a simple power system and perform both steady-state and transient analysis on the network. Also build and model the components for a grid-connected voltage source converter (VSC).
