Dr. Ani Gole is an internationally recognized expert in power systems simulations. Through his research and joint work with such companies as Manitoba Hydro, the HVDC Centre and RTDS, he has contributed to the development of one of the most comprehensive and sophisticated numerical tools for simulating large power systems networks. The PSCAD/EMTDC program, which is a result of this research, now has over 32,000 worldwide licensed users and has been used for the design of the majority of the world's High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems constructed in the last decade. It is no exaggeration to say that every one of us, every day, is touched by technology that Ani helped to develop.
