DPsim

DPsim is a solver library for power system simulation.

• It supports both the electro-magnetic transient (EMT) and dynamic phasor (DP) domain.
• It provides a Python module which can be embedded in any Python 3 application / scripts.
• It is implemented in highly-efficient C++ code.
• It supports real-time execution with time-steps up to 50 uS.
• It can load models in the Common Information Model (CIM) XML format.
• It can be interfaced to a variety of protocols and interfaces via VILLASnode.

Installation

If you just want to use DPsim for simulations, take a look at the installation instructions.

If you would like to modify / extend DPsim or build it for a specific platform, take a look at the build instructions.

Usage

DPsim is a Python extension module which is implemented in optimized native C++ code. Users can control and script the simulation with Python scripts. Checkout the Examples.

Documentation

The user documentation has examples, build / installation instructions and covers the Python API.

The C++ developer documentation only includes automatically generated content using Doxygen. It is helpful to understand the general structure of the C++ DPsim core components.
