Power System Analysis (PSA) is one of the important courses that is offered for undergraduate students of Electrical engineering branch. This paper focuses on an efficient method to teach the PSA course using PSCAD. This is used as an instructional tool to complement the teaching of the subject matter. This would certainly improve the understandability of the subject. The proposed teaching methodology is illustrated through examples based on fault analysis. Initially, the analysis is illustrated using conventional approach prior to solving it through PSCAD software. Finally, a comparison of teaching by both the methods in terms of the program outcomes for the said course is presented.
