This
presenta1on
is
intended
to
introduce
the
basics
of
using
PSCAD
as
a
power
system
simula1on
tool.
It
will
introduce
opening
a
new
simula1on
(or
“case”),
inser1ng
components
and
genera1ng
output
waveforms
and
values.
This
presenta1on
accompanies
“Lab
1
–
Introduc1on
to
PSCAD”
of
EE175L.
Refer
to
the
lab
manual
for
further
details
on
the
laboratory
requirements.
Note:
try
exploring
the
various
se_ngs
and
learn
what
they
do
by
clicking
on
the
Help
bucon
in
the
Symbol
Se_ngs
Dialog
box.
11.
Use
the
wire
tool
located
in
the
top
tool
bar
to
connect
the
components.
The
wire
tool
is
not
very
intui1ve
as
it
does
not
show
nodes
to
confirm
that
they
are
connected.
Just
click
close
to
each
point
and
it
will
connect
automa1cally.
Use
ESC
to
exit
the
tool.
Use
ENTER
to
finish
a
wire
segment
and
stay
in
the
tool.

To
view
the
1me-‐domain
waveforms
for
the
voltage
and
current
measured
with
the
mul1meter,
we
need
to
insert
a
data
label
and
acach
it
to
an
output
Data
Label
channel.
Name
the
data
label
the
same
as
the
data
you
are
measuring
(the
names
from
step
10)
and
connect
it
to
the
output
channel
with
a
wire.
Double-‐click
on
the
output
channel
to
give
it
a
name
as
well.
This
doesn’t
have
to
be
the
same
as
the
data
label
but
it
should
be
similar
so
you
don’t
get
confused.
Note:
to
go
back
from
a
sub
library
to
the
main
library
use
the
green
back
bucon
highlighted
below.
16.
Acach
the
data
labels
to
the
appropriate
inputs
to
the
mul1ply
symbol
and
send
the
output
to
an
output
channel.
Ctrl
+Drag
the
output
channel
onto
the
graph
frame
and
rerun
the
simula1on
to
see
the
instantaneous
power.
Note
that
the
frequency
is
twice
the
frequency
of
the
voltage
and
current
as
expected.
17.
Since
the
values
for
the
current
and
voltage
are
in
the
1me
domain,
in
order
to
view
magnitudes
and
phase
angles,
(phasor
domain)
we
must
use
the
FFT
(Fast
Fourier
Transform)
to
analyze
the
frequency
component
of
the
signals.
Insert
the
FFT
symbol
from
the
CSMF
library
and
connect
it
as
shown
below.
Use
the
bus
tap
to
select
only
the
first
order
frequency
component
from
the
7-‐bus
outputs
for
magnitude
and
phase.
Insert
a
Control
Panel
to
view
the
scalar
values
by
Ctrl+Draging
the
channel
outputs
onto
the
panel.
