This paper describes our progress in creating a case study on optimistic computing for the Grid using parallel mesh generation. For the implementation of both methods we will be using a Portable Runtime Environment for Mobile Applications (PREMA) which is extended to provide support for optimistic control using grid performance monitoring and prediction. Based on the observed performance of a w...

We propose a novel approach of three-dimensional hybrid grid methodology, the DRAGON grid method in the three-dimensional space. The DRAGON grid is created by means of a Direct Replacement of Arbitrary Grid Overlapping by Nonstructured grid, and is structured-grid dominated with unstructured grids in small regions. The DRAGON grid scheme is an adaptation to the Chimera thinking. It is capable o...

In this paper, a sequential 2D unstructured grid generator based on iterative point insertion and local reconnection is coupled with a Delauney tessellation domain decomposition scheme to create a scalable parallel unstructured grid generator. The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is used for distributed communication in the parallel grid generator. This work attempts to provide a generic framewo...

In recent years, structured overset grid technology has been successfully applied to computational fluid dynamics analysis on a wide variety of complex aerospace applications.1–11 While structured overset grid flow solvers such as OVERFLOW12 and LAVA13 are highly e cient relative to typical flow solvers utilizing unstructured grids, structured overset grid generation remains a labor intensive a...

This paper investigates the problem of generation and load settings in a synthetic power grid modeling of high-voltage transmission network, considering both electrical parameters and topology measures. Our previous study indicated that the relative location of generation and load buses in a realistic grid are not random but correlated. And an entropy based optimization approach has been propos...

A host of technologies has been developed to achieve these aims of the smart grid. Some of these technologies include plug-in electric vehicle, demand response program, energy storage system and renewable distributed generation. However, the integration of the smart grid technologies in the power system operation studies such as economic emission unit commitment problem causes two major challen...
