### "Powerful tool for simulation of Electromagnetic Transients" — 4.0/5

> **Anny** | *20 de junio de 2018*
> 
> **Puntos a favor**: It has a fairly complete library of devices for electrical components and control, I used it for simulation of ElectroMagnetic Transients to achieve the current intensity under which the backflashover occurs in voltage dischargers of 115 kV transmission lines, useful value for the coordination of isolation and for the statistics of how many faults the line can have during a year, this function can be done in this software manually increasing the discharge current or automatically with the use of multiple run, everything will depend on the skill and of knowledge that you have of this application, that is, it is quite powerful, but you have to know all its functions very well. It also allows the simulation of the elements of the line as detailed as the user requires, of course the results will depend on the accuracy of the data that is entered.
> 
> **Puntos en contra**: The management of the software is not intuitive, it requires previous training to be able to start with its use, as well as the mastery of the electromagnetic transients is required. On the other hand, the way in which the library is stored could be improved in order to perform the selection of devices by dragging them, as is done with the palette control and the electrical palette.
> 
> In my company it is used for the estimation of faults during a year of a transmission line for the purposes of a service contract with the company that supplies the electric power, and for the realization of insulation coordination in transmission lines and substations.

### "PSCAD's ease of accessibility and does it worth to buy" — 4.0/5

> **Usuario verificado** | *8 de febrero de 2019* | Fabricación de productos eléctricos/electrónicos | Valoración de la recomendación: 7.0/10
> 
> **Puntos a favor**: The easiness of the software, where we can construct any kind of network with proper fulfilled knowledge. because of the constructed tools and other equipment were already been designed by the team. And also the cookbooks and the helping portal which was given by the company itself also a very handy material for a beginner.
> 
> **Puntos en contra**: There is a very big difference from the free version and the premium one. so when you are looking to tranfer your work from a free verion to a premium version then you are in trouble .
> 
> My final year project was stated with eTab then I ended up working with PSCAD. it's hard to lean actually in the beginning but then after it's really worth your time.

### "Pscad for Electrical Engineering" — 4.0/5

> **Vaithehi** | *2 de agosto de 2019* | Administración educativa | Valoración de la recomendación: 5.0/10
> 
> **Puntos a favor**: We can simulate most complex system in PSCAD , if we have full licensed software, if after we simulate once it will take more time for next simulation.
> 
> **Puntos en contra**: After 1st simulation mostly it will show bugs in second simulation if we are not using fully licensed software. But fully licensed software is very expensive.

### "Best tool for Power Engineering Simulations" — 5.0/5

> **Usuario verificado** | *27 de noviembre de 2019* | Fabricación de productos eléctricos/electrónicos | Valoración de la recomendación: 9.0/10
> 
> **Puntos a favor**: Availability of almost everything related to power engineering
> 
> **Puntos en contra**: maximum possible nodes that can be used is around 200
> 
> With the evolution of power systems PSCAD is the best tool to obtain fast and accurate simulations with the help of comprehensive library of various types of models.

### "Best to learn power electronics" — 4.0/5

> **Gayathri** | *17 de septiembre de 2019* | Fabricación de productos eléctricos/electrónicos | Valoración de la recomendación: 7.0/10
> 
> **Puntos a favor**: It is the best to learn power electronics.It can be used to learn power electronics step by step from fundamentals.All graphs relevant to simulated circuit can be generated.All these graphs can be copied and pasted to Word documents.These graphs can be voltage vs time graphs,current vs time graphs etc.All researches related to power electronics can be done in this software.A needed power electronic design can be first done on this software before implementing it physically for more accurate design.
> 
> **Puntos en contra**: A strong knowledge on power electronics is needed to use the software easily.The constant use of the software for at least three months is needed to get a better grasp on it.
> 
> I used it in my power electronics assignments for the subject area on Fundamentals of Power Electronics.
