An Overview of Simulation Tools for Electromagnetic Transients in Power Systems

This paper presents an overview on available tools for the simulation of electromagnetic transients in power systems. Simulation tools range from specialized computer programs operating in real-time or non-real-time modes, to customized general purpose modeling environments. The various categories of tools are presented with highlights on applicability ranges and available modeling capabilities.
