Power System Studies on PSCAD (Learning Note)

Last update: 13/May/2026 by Di Wang

This page covers my learning note of PSCAD, it contains the content of my hands on experience on applying PSCAD to design power system related tasks and analysis.

The learning resource is from: Course: PSCAD Essentials: Simulate and Analyze Electrical Grids | Udemy

The bullet points of the learning outcome are outlined below:

Intro:
- Sinewave production in PSCAD
- Three-phase fault design in PSCAD
- One line drawing in PSCAD
Transmission line configuration based on industrial datasheet
X/R ratio impact on three-phase fault analysis
Coaxial cable design based on industrial data sheet and IEC 62067 standard
Simple protection design
Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV) analysis
Harmonic study on PSCAD

The below attached pdf is the summary of my learning note for PSCAD:
