Abstract :
The most common analysis of power systems, load flow requires the solution of a set of thousands of nonlinear algebraic equations. In this paper we develop a methodology to evaluate the efficiency of parallelization of load flow analysis techniques on different multiprocessor architectures. Parallelization is essential for obtaining analysis in real time
