Basic Theory of EMTP

Represent all the circuit elements including a distributed-parameter line by a current source and a resistance. 

1961 Schnyder-Bergeron method by Frey and Althammer 1964 Dommel s PhD thesis in Tech. Univ. Munich 1966 Dommel started EMTP development in BPA 1968 Transients Program (TP = EMTP Mode 0), 4000 statements 1973 Dommel moved to Univ. British Columbia Scott-Meyer succeeded EMTP development 

1976 Universal Transients Program File (UTPF) and Editor/Translator Program (E/T) completed by Scott-Meyer. UTPF and E/T made by EMTP could be used in any computers because those solve machine-dependent problems and prepared a platform for any researchers able to join EMTP development, not necessary to visit BPA 

Japanese EMTP Committee founded 1976 Semiyen, Ametani, Brandwajn, IXibe, and so on 1982 Marti joined EMTP development 

1978 First EMTP workshop during IEEE PES meeting
