Abstract

This paper discusses recent developments of the high-performance computing techniques for the real-time simulation of power systems. Depending on the size of the network and the required resolution, different methods are used: phasor-based method for Transient Stability (TS) simulation, and ElectroMagnetic Transient (EMT) simulation. Modern, fast power-electronic devices also often require high-resolution simulation on FPGAs. The paper discusses these solvers, their commercial availability along with some benchmarks.
