Workshop C4: Wide Area EMT Simulations for Stability Analysis

Presenter : Babak Badrzadeh

This workshop will explore practical applications of wide-area EMT simulation in power systems with high shares of inverter-based resources and inverter-based loads. It will focus on real studies and events where RMS or phasor-domain simulation was insufficient, and where EMT analysis revealed material issues such as multi-inverter interactions, protection behaviour, weak-grid sensitivities, non-local voltage dynamics, or control interactions that influenced planning, connection, operation, commissioning, or remediation decisions.
The workshop will bring together perspectives from network operators, OEMs, software vendors, regulators, developers, consultants and large inverter-based load providers. Discussion will address how wide-area EMT studies can be made feasible, scalable and credible, including model governance, confidentiality and IP management, network equivalencing, scenario selection, cross-tool benchmarking, validation where field measurements are limited, and the cost, schedule and risk-management value of EMT compared with conventional RMS/PDT workflows.
