Master Grid Compliance Studies Using PSCAD

A complete simulation and project-based live training that helps you model, analyse, and validate renewable energy plants for grid code compliance using PSCAD

What Makes This Course Stand Out?

Perfect for Beginners

Start from scratch

EMT-Level Training

RMS won’t get you here

Live + Hands-On Format

Learn while you build

Learn Applications

Grid Code, Overvoltage, Inverter Modelling & More

I don’t want to just understand PSCAD... I want to use it with confidence in real projects

What Makes This Training Worth It?
