1. Introduction
Paladin DesignBase software includes a number of advanced engineering applications used for
power system planning and operation. Paladin DesignBase, as well, offers a number of live
systems to continuously monitor and predict security, health, available capacity, and energy
management system (EMS) for the mission critical facilities.
EDSA Micro Corporation has developed software whereby system data in the Siemens/PTI
PSS/E format can be imported directly into Paladin DesignBase software package.
This tutorial illustrates step-by-step how to import a data file from PSS/E into Paladin
DesignBase program. Also, V&V is performed for the imported system by showing the details of
the imported data as well as comparing the result of power flow and short circuit calculations to
the PSS/E.

Next use the browse button to locate the file to be imported into Paladin DesignBase, see
Figure 2:
Figure 2: File Browser to Locate the PSS/E Data File for Importing into Paladin DesignBase
The sample file used to illustrate the importing feature of the DesignBase software package is
named 9bus.raw and is located in the projects folder as shown in Figure 3.
After the PSS/E data file is identified, we need to specify a folder (e.g. C:\DesignBase\projects)
where the imported file should be saved. The name of the Paladin DesignBase Database file
(.MDB) should also be specified here (9bus-imported.mdb).
If the import function is successful, the user has a chance to inspect the imported data in a
tabular format. Otherwise error messages will appear at the bottom of the screen identifying the
cause of error. As shown below, for example, we examine the bus data of the imported file.
Figure 6: Examining the Imported Data Prior to Saving to Paladin DesignBase format
Next the text editor dialog will appear as shown below. Since there is no single line diagram for
the imported system, we can use Paladin DesignBases auto-one-line function to automatically
generate the single line diagram.
First, the program prompts the user if the Job File can be over-written, press Yes (since there
was no previous job file) to continue:
Figure 13: Selecting ANSI or IEC Symbols for Auto One Line
The paper size, orientation, etc., can be specified as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14: Selecting Paper Size, Orientation, etc. in Auto One Line
Finally, confirm overwrite of the modified database (with single line diagram information added)
as shown below:
Figure 15: Confirming Overwrite for the Modified Database (single line diagram) in Auto One
Line

The user will be notified once the process of Auto One Line is completed.
