PSCAD Course: Grid Compliance Study Training with a Real 30 MW Solar Case Study
This PSCAD course teaches you how to perform grid compliance studies using PSCAD — from modelling grid-connected plants to validating fault ride-through, voltage, frequency and dynamic performance against utility grid codes. Because every module is built around a real 30 MW solar plant, you leave this PSCAD training with validated, ready-to-use simulation templates, not just theory.

Why Choose This PSCAD Course?
Not every PSCAD course gives you a full, validated case study. This one does. Here is what sets this PSCAD training apart from a generic software walkthrough.
Taught by an 18-Year Veteran
This PSCAD course is led by Er. Selvakumar S, a gold medalist in Power System Engineering with 18 years of industry experience at PRDC, Tata Consulting Engineers and ABB.

PSCAD Course FAQs
Is this PSCAD course live or pre-recorded?
It's a live session with lifetime access to the recording, so you can attend live and revisit the material whenever you need to.
Do I get a certificate after this PSCAD course?
Yes — you'll receive a certificate of completion for this PSCAD certification course.
Can I ask doubts after the session ends?
Yes — you'll be added to a private support group to continue the conversation with instructors and fellow participants.
What is a Grid Compliance Study?
A Grid Compliance Study is an analysis performed to ensure that a power plant or electrical system meets the technical requirements and grid code regulations set by utilities and grid operators before connection to the grid — the exact skill this PSCAD course teaches.
Why is PSCAD used for grid compliance studies?
PSCAD is an advanced electromagnetic transient simulation tool that accurately models dynamic system behaviour during faults, switching events and grid disturbances, which is why this PSCAD course centres on it.
Do I need prior PSCAD experience to join?
No — this PSCAD course starts from grid compliance fundamentals before moving into modelling and simulation, so engineers new to PSCAD can follow along and benefit.
