Abstract
Real-time or faster-than-real-time power system transient stability
simulations will have significant impact on the future design and
operations of both individual electrical utility companies and large
interconnected power systems. The analysis involves solution of extremely
large systems of differential and algebraic equations. Differential-Algebraic
Equation (DAE) solvers have been used to solve problems similar in
nature to the transient stability analysis (TSA) problem. This paper
discusses the possibility of the use of the existing DAE solvers
to solve the transient stability analysis application. We also discuss our
research in developing a scalable, parallel DAE solver for use by the
power system community and in related applications.
