            Abstract : 
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.
