Parallel Algorithms for Large Scale Power System Dynamic Simulation

Abstract

In this paper the authors present an overview of the existing parallel architecture types, followed by a brief survey of the algorithms which have been developed for power system simulation utilizing various parallel processors. The authors present their main contribution in the final section by presenting recent efforts in the application of waveform relaxation methods to power systems. The authors correlate the physical properties of the power system to the rate of convergence of the numerical waveform iterations.
