Introduction

ATP(Alternative Transients Program) is a royalty-free EMTP (The Electromagnetic Transients Program). ATP and EMTP are considered to be one of the most widely used software for the analysis of power systems now in the world. The steady state and transients analysis of voltage, current, power flow and so on is possible. It has many models including rotating machine, transformer, surge arrester, transmission line and cable. The analysis of control system is also possible by using TACS and/or MODELS. The recent improvements of switch logic enabled the correct simulation of power electronic systems.

Copyrights

ATP is copyrighted by Canadian/American(Can/Am) EMTP User Group, and is not public-domain software like BPA-EMTP(M39). But ATP can be used rolyalty-free by anyone or any organizations who agreed and signed ATP Licensing Terms.

License

To use ATP-EMTP, you or your organization must agree and sign ATP Licensing Terms.
Getting ATP-License is relatively easy. ATP-License is maintained by the following ATP user groups in East-Asia.
Please note that JAUG is a different organization from "Japanese EMTP Committee(JEC)" and JEC doesn't fulfill the condition for ATP Licensing Terms. Therefore, please note that JEC has no rights of authorizing ATP-License.

Presently, many organizations and individuals (ATP Users List in East Asia) have License and using ATP in East Asia.
