چکیده
This paper describes the implementation of a real-time power system simulator based on a distributed cluster of PC desktop computers. A Real-time power system simulator based on a PC-cluster can successfully cope with the size requirements of growing power systems and the computational demands of fast transient studies. The distributed version of OVNI is used as core solver in addition to a developed I/O interface card. Models based on the standard tool for power systems transients simulations, the EMTP program, optimized for real time performance, assure accurate simulation results.

Comparative study of computer simulation softwares
One of the methods for analyzing systems is simulation. Network simulation is a technique that models the behavior of the network by performing transaction calculations between different network entities and using mathematical formulas and taking observations from network products. A network simulator is a piece of software or hardware that predicts the behavior of a computer network without a ...

متن کاملAlgorithms for Distributed Computation of Electromagnetic Transients towards PC Cluster Based Real-Time Simulations
This paper describes algorithms for the distributed computation of electromagnetic transients in a power system. Conventional simulators based on parallel computing utilize traveling-time delays due to Bergeron’s representation of transmission lines in order to divide the network of interest into subnetworks, and each subnetwork is assigned to a single CPU to solve the decoupled sets of the cir...
