Overview
This library is required in order to run PSCAD cases generated by E-Tran, but can also be used directly in user-built cases.
The E-Tran Runtime Library for PSCAD contains the following models:
- Transformers (including impedance correction factors)
- Phase Shifters (leading or lagging)
- DC link (Back-Back and Point-Point, including built-in or external controls)
- Loads (constant PQ, current, impedance and RLC)
- Switched Shunt devices
- Simple transmission lines (PI section)
- Generator (simple source based on R, X source impedance)
- Measurement Components (fundamental frequency RMS V, PQ etc… with online animated viewing)
All models accept the identical data required in PSS/E (ie RXB in Per Unit, Voltages in L-L, kV, RMS, 3 phase MVa…) and have been tested against the steady state results generated by PSS/E.

Download Links
After downloading the Runtime Library file, it should be unzipped and placed in a convenient location on your computer. There are two folders contained within it: the PSCADLib folder contains the PSCAD substitution libraries and the EMTDCLib folder contains the E-Tran .lib files for various Fortran compilers.
