Simulation Tutorial in ATPdraw software – IEEE 4 Nodes Test Feeder – Part 1

Abstract

The use of free software as a simulation tool in engineering is constantly growing. In this context, the Alternative Transients Program Draw (ATPDraw) is a software that highlights itself, which has within its main uses studies of electromagnetic transients and modeling of transmission and distribution electrical power systems. The search for simplified tutorials on the use of this program increases every year and it is in this perspective that this work engages. Through a tutorial of assembly and simulation of a 4 nodes test feeder, will be detailed, as well as the procedures necessary for accessing the components, assembly, filling in their parameters and resources for viewing and interpreting results. This is a contribution from the Power Energy Society (PES) chapter of the IEEE Student Branch at the Federal University of Tocantins, Brazil.
