Requirements

Basic knowledge of electrical engineering concepts such as voltage, current, power, and frequency.

Familiarity with power system components (generators, transformers, transmission lines, loads) is helpful, but not mandatory.

No prior experience with EMTP is required — the course starts from the fundamentals and gradually moves to advanced applications.

An interest in learning how to simulate and analyze power system dynamics and transients.

Description

The Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) is one of the most powerful tools available for simulating and analyzing power systems, especially when it comes to capturing fast and complex transient phenomena. This comprehensive course, developed by Power 2 Human, is designed to take you from the fundamentals of EMTP to advanced applications, giving you the skills to confidently model, simulate, and interpret real-world power system behavior.Throughout the course, you will learn how to build accurate system models, configure simulations, and analyze results using EMTP’s intuitive yet advanced interface. We begin with the basics—understanding the simulation environment, component libraries, and parameter settings—before progressing to more complex topics such as transformer inrush, lightning surges, harmonic analysis, and control system integration.You will gain hands-on experience modeling key components including generators, transformers, transmission lines, loads, breakers, and power electronics. Through practical exercises, you will simulate different fault scenarios, evaluate protection system responses, and assess the impact of switching operations. Special emphasis is placed on transient and harmonic studies, enabling you to diagnose and solve real engineering problems related to power quality, insulation coordination, and equipment stress.Advanced sections of the course cover frequency scans, hybrid EMT–phasor simulations, and custom component creation, preparing you to handle specialized and large-scale projects. You will also explore real industry case studies, from renewable energy integration to HVDC systems and offshore networks.By the end of this course, you will have developed a deep understanding of EMTP’s capabilities and the confidence to apply it to utility, industrial, and research applications—equipping you with skills that are highly sought after in the power engineering field.Author: Power 2 Human
