Introducing PSCAD v5

PSCAD (Power System Computer Aided Design) is one of the most powerful and advanced electromagnetic transients simulation software solutions for power systems in the world, developed by the Canadian company Manitoba Hydro International. This software is a global standard for transient analysis, power system design, and power electronics equipment simulation in utilities, research centers, and universities worldwide.

Version v5 was officially released in March 2021 and is recognized as one of the largest updates in the software’s history in terms of new features. This version features significant improvements in High-Performance Computing (HPC), Python automation, new models, and a cloud-based licensing system.

Main Features of PSCAD v5

This software offers a wide range of simulation and analysis capabilities to power engineers, the most important of which include:

New & Improved Features in Version v5

• Embedded Python Scripting: Users can use Python scripts for complete simulation process automation and action recording
• Cloud-Based Certificate Licensing: Easier license management with free version availability
• Parallel High-Performance Computing (HPC) Support: Simultaneous simulation of multiple projects and accelerated computation using all processor cores
• New Model Library: Addition of over 20 new models including MMC (Modular Multilevel Converter), single-phase induction motor, 3/5-limb transformer model, and new IEEE 421.5-2016 exciter models
• MANA Algorithm (Modified Augmented Nodal Analysis): Improved speed and accuracy for large network equation solving
• Load Flow Data Transfer Capability: Easier data transfer from other software
• New Binary Output Format (*.psout): Smaller file size and faster access to simulation data, maintaining data from multiple runs and animation information

General Features of PSCAD v5

• Modern User Interface: Brand new look and feel with customization capabilities
• Unicode Support: Use all writing systems in Sticky Notes
• Electrical Network Blackboxing: Hide and protect network models (except transmission lines and cables)
• Smart Paste: Intelligent object pasting with automatic context detection
• New Fortran Compiler Support: Intel Fortran 16-19 and GFortran 8.1
• Parallel Multiple Run (PMR) Capability: Simultaneous execution of multiple simulations with different parameters on separate cores
• Co-Simulation Interface: Integration with other external software via API
• Resources Branch: Centralized management of all project-related files including Word, Excel, Python files, and images

New Main Library Models

• MMC Model Library: Modular multilevel converter models for HVDC and FACTS
• Single-Phase Induction Machine Model: Single-phase induction motor
• 3/5-Limb Duality-Based Transformer Model: Transformer model based on duality concept
• IEEE Standard 421.5-2016 Exciter Models: New exciter models
• PV Source Component with Datasheet Entry: Solar source models with datasheet input
• Z-Domain Controls Library: Z-domain control library

PSCAD Free Edition

PSCAD also offers a free edition that runs on Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows 11 (64-bit) and requires an internet connection. This version is suitable for familiarization with the software and small projects. However, our full and unlimited version does not require a license.
