IBR Models Verification & Compliance for Power Systems - Online Training

Overview

This training will be held in English.

This course is designed to deepen your expertise in EMT Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) models using EMTP^®. By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Understand EMT IBR models

• Build EMT IBR models effectively

• Choose the appropriate model for specific studies

• Verify the quality and conformity of IBR models

• Perform key EMT studies, including:

  - LVRT / HVRT

  - Temporary Overvoltages

  - Switching

  - Stability

  - Sub-Synchronous Control Interaction (SSCI)

This course includes hands-on exercises and guided examples to build both theoretical understanding and practical skills.

Training structure 

The training lasts for 5 days, running daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., except for the last day, which ends at 11:00 a.m. The sessions will be conducted in English.      

Computer and temporary EMTP^® licenses

Every participant is required to bring their own personal computer. Temporary EMTP^® licenses will be provided to participants for the course's duration. 

Intended audience

This training is ideal for T&D electrical engineers, consultants, industry professionals, researchers, and post-graduate students involved in power system studies.

Ticket types

Regular Ticket (Full Admission)

Includes a temporary EMTP® license, access to live Q&A, and participation in small hands-on labs with personalized support. Ideal for those who want to actively practice during the training. 

Listener Ticket  (Listen Only)

Grants full access to all presentations and sessions but excludes EMTP® licenses and lab participation. Best for those who prefer to focus on listening only.
