ESIG Electromagnetic Transient Training

December 16 - December 18

  • « G-PST/ESIG Webinar: How AI Can Tackle the Increasing Complexity in Power System Operations
  • 2026 Spring Technical Workshop »

ESIG is partnering with the US Department of Energy’s Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange program and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to facilitate a three-day in-person Electromagnetic Transient training for relevant stakeholders in the United States.

DATE: December 16-18, 2025
LOCATION: 
Texas RE, 8000 Metropolis Drive, Building A, Suite 300 Austin, Texas 78744

This three-day in-person training is intended to enhance the knowledge and ability of the current workforce through coursework focused on performing EMT simulations in the current interconnection and planning paradigm. Training participants will learn practical methods and best practices that can be leveraged into enhanced study practices across the industry. These training modules will focus on the expected day-to-day needs of engineers performing EMT analysis as well as managing EMT study practices within their organization.

PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED FOR THIS COURSE! Please click here to express your interest in attending this in-person course. A member of the ESIG team will contact you in the coming weeks with next steps.

The training will be recorded, and the videos will be made available in the public domain free of charge after the events.

For in-person participation, a small registration fee will be required to cover the cost of food. The training content is funded through external support, and the venue has been generously donated by Texas RE.

With the generous support of external funding and our hosting organizations, the expected registration cost will be between $350 – $400.

Please note that travel and lodging expenses will not be covered by ESIG or through external funding.

Please express interest only if you are committed to attending the in-person training.


This draft agenda is intended to be informational and may not represent the final training topics, times, or descriptions. Hands-on examples/activities will be incorporated as necessary.
