Preface
The transient analysis is an important task for power system analysis and design. Several simulation tools are currently available for this purpose. One of the most popular is the Alternative Transients Program (ATP).
The ATP is a royalty‐free package integrated by at least three tools: (i) ATPDraw, a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and/or editing input files; (ii) TPBIG, the main processor for transients and harmonics simulations; and (iii) one postprocessor for plotting simulation results. Actually, ATP users can also take advantage of several other tools, and create a custom‐made environment with links to other packages.
The acronym ATP was originally used to name the tool for transients simulation. For many users, ATP is still the simulation tool; in this book, ATP is used to name indistinctly the package or the transients simulation tool, while TPBIG is used to name (when used) the simulation tool. ATPDraw is an interactive Windows‐based GUI that can act as a shell for the whole package; that is, users can control the execution of all programs integrated in the package from ATPDraw. Several royalty‐free tools with different capabilities are currently available for postproccesing simulation results.
ATP users can take advantage of several books for improving their knowledge on transient analysis and the application of this tool. Although this new book covers topics already covered by formerly released books, the overlapping with all of them is rather small; ...
