PSCAD is a Windows program for modeling and analyzing various types of electrical power systems. It leverages modern calculation algorithms and multi threaded processors to deliver fast and accurate simulations. Please note that PSCAD is discontinued and no longer supported by the developer. The installation files are not available.
Electromagnetic transient models
Users can capture real time dynamics of any power system with exceptional precision. This fidelity enables accurate modeling of different conditions and phenomena. Moreover, it is possible to quickly iterate and analyze resulting models, saving valuable time and effort.
Similar to DesignSpark Electrical, there is a comprehensive library of electrical components for streamlining model creation and modification. Additionally, you are able to draw geometric shapes and insert text annotations into the project. This is helpful for designing educational materials or inspection reports.
Analysis
Tools for visualizing waveforms and extracting meaningful metrics to gain crucial insights into the behavior of the system are included. Users can perform advanced frequency domain analysis as well.
