Top Rated PSCAD Alternatives
26 PSCAD Reviews
A vast number of EMT models are available for simulation. Simulation have been validated against many tests to provide accurate results. Easily understandable program structure. Good graphical representation of data, to understand the transients in the power system as well as power electronic converters. The multi-processor simulation capability allows for simulating large systems in full EMT resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The hidden code for many components is not very attractive. It gets hard to identify coding structures and functions when developing user-defined components. It would be great if a more powerful and user-friendly user-defined component developer can be implemented. Also, a plotting tool linked with Matlab could help in easy graphics processing for publications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Drawing Power Network is easier and analysing response of system is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To analyse Staedy State response of a system it's accuracy is less than other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The capability to accurately simulate power system transients, Availability of Accurate built in models for Power applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user friendliness of the application is not comparable with software like Simulink. The coding interface doesn't have a built in debugger. Simulated Meters and measuring devices are built for specific applications such as HVDC, hence the measurements are not in SI parameters (kV, kA) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is very easy to use. Once you are familiar with the interface, quite helpful to perform your desired tests and simulations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The dependency on fortran compilers and Visual studio can be a problem. Several versions of these software can create a compatibility issue and make the installation tricky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very power tool to solve advance power related problems. Frequency and Voltage stability related problems can be analysable in very effective manner. Every detailed information on transmission line , generators can be found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Learning the software is bit difficult. Resources to learn software is comparably low. Maximum output can be gained only if original software was installed. Trial version have some laggings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PSCAD is a EMT type simulation software and has proven very beneficial to me when conducting steady state and transient simulations.
It has a good master library with several detailed and up to date models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface can be improved.
The on-line-help system does not contain any information for some of the custom library models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
