Applications of EMT Simulations for Insulation Coordination and Renewable Integrations
Workshop Highlights
This workshop provides an introduction to EMT simulation methodologies and their role in modern power system studies. Through real-world case studies and practical examples, attendees will learn how EMT simulations are applied to utility and industrial power systems to address complex engineering challenges.
The presentations will cover insulation coordination and transient studies, illustrating proven approaches to the analysis of switching transients, temporary over-voltages, ferro-resonance phenomena, and lightning impacts. The workshop will also explore renewable energy integration studies, including system modeling, inverter performance assessment, and wide-area impact evaluations.
Participants will benefit from the extensive experience of Manitoba Hydro International specialists, who will share practical insights gained from utility and consulting projects worldwide.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is intended for utility engineers, industrial power system engineers, planners, consultants, researchers, academics, and technology providers interested in advanced power system analysis. It will also be valuable for graduate students and young professionals seeking to expand their knowledge of EMT simulations and their applications to modern electrical networks.
No prior experience with PSCAD is required. The workshop is presentation-based and includes live demonstrations by the instructors; attendees are not expected to perform hands-on exercises or bring laptops.
Registration Fee
Participation in the workshop requires registration for the IEEE IAS Annual Meeting 2026. The workshop is available as an optional add-on during the conference registration process. The registration fee is USD 75 for IEEE Student Members and USD 125 for all other participants.
