Introduction to PSS®E GIC Module -- 

PSS®E Versions 32.2 and 33.3 introduced a GIC module to analyze the effects of Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMDs) that occur when solar energetic particles from the sun migrate to the earth and cause short-term variations in the earth’s magnetic field. These variations can eventually lead to Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) and a potential increase in VAR losses and harmonic distortion that may lead to voltage stability problems.

The PSS®E GIC Module training course provides participants with an introduction to the GIC module, the theory of GIC, how fast to operate and configure the module to run studies and lastly a workshop to go through the clients actual models, concerns and questions.

Introduction to PSS®E GIC (1 day)

• -GIC Phenomena.
• -GIC Characteristics.
• -GIC Calculations.
• -GIC Model.
• -PSS®E GIC data file.
• -Setting up GIC data and settings in PSS®E.
• -Running the GIC simulation in PSS®E.
• -Accessing and interpreting the results and plots in PSS®E.
• -Sample study’s and the results obtained

Electronic Notes will be provided for this course.
