+Add a new Component Model
+-------------------------
+
+In this section we will show the implementation of a new component model at the example of a three-phase inductor.
+
+C++ OOP for Component Models
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DPsim implements component models in a sub-component called CPowerSystems or short CPS.
+CPS is embedded as a submodule to the DPsim repository.
+
+TODO: add class diagram
+
+Every component in CPS is represented by a C++ class.
+
+DPsim supports different types of solvers (MNA, DAE, NRP).
+Each solver requires certain member functions in the component class to be implemented.
+These functions are specified by the solver interface classes: ``MNAInterface.h``, ``DAEInterface.h``, ...
+
+Directory / Namespace Structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For the implementation of the new component, we add two new files
+
+- ``Dependencies/libcps/Source/DP/DP_Ph3_Inductor.cpp``
+- ``Dependencies/libcps/Include/DP/DP_Ph3_Inductor.h``
+
+In these files, we will implement a new C++ class with the name ``CPS::DP::Ph3::Inductor``.

+Adding the new Component to DPsim
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After finishing the implementation of the new component, it needs to be added to the following files:
+
+- ``Dependencies/libcps/Include/cps/Components.h``
+- ``Dependencies/libcps/Source/CMakeLists.txt``
+- ``Sources/Python/Module.cpp``
