DPsim is a solver library for dynamic power system simulation.
- It supports both the electromagnetic transient (EMT) and dynamic phasor (DP) domain for dynamic simulation.
- A powerflow solver is included for standalone usage or initialization of dynamic simulations.
- It provides a Python module which can be embedded in any Python 3 application / scripts.
- The simulation core is implemented in highly-efficient C++ code.
- It supports real-time execution with time-steps down to 50 uS.
- It can load models in the IEC61970 CIM / CGMES XML format.
- It can be interfaced to a variety of protocols and interfaces via VILLASnode.

Install DPsim using the command
pip install dpsimWheels are published for CPython 3.10 through 3.14 on Linux and Windows x86-64. The Windows
wheel is built without VILLASnode, real-time support and Sundials; use WSL2 or the sogno/dpsim
container if you need those. See the
installation instructions for the full
matrix.
The documentation has build / installation instructions, links to examples and explains the concepts implemented in DPsim as well as its architecture.
The project is released under the terms of the MPL 2.0.
