“…Distribution systems are composed of a small length line, thus propagation delays are pretty short (far less than the classical time step of 50 µs generally used for EMT simulation) and the classical method based on this delay is not appropriated to solve the model on several computational units [61]. Nowadays, a multicore parallel solver based on an SSN solver is proposed in [62]. This solver allows the simulation of a model on parallel cores without adding any artificial delay.…”

Real-time (RT) simulation is a highly reliable simulation method that is mostly based on electromagnetic transient simulation of complex systems comprising many domains. It is increasingly used in power and energy systems for both academic research and industrial applications. Due to the evolution of the computing power of RT simulators in recent years, new classes of applications and expanded fields of practice could now be addressed with RT simulation. This increase in computation power implies that models can be built more accurately and the whole simulation system gets closer to reality. This Task Force paper summarizes various applications of digital RT simulation technologies in the design, analysis, and testing of power and energy systems.

“…In distribution networks notably, the number of electric nodes can easily exceed the capability of standard electromagnetic transient (EMT) real-time simulation approaches. With this in mind, OPAL-RT is currently developing a real-time simulation solution called ePHASORsim based on phasor-type solvers [24] [25]. ePHASORsim can simulate systems in the range of 20,000 buses faster than real-time at time step of 10 milliseconds.…”

This paper discusses the various aspects involving the research and development of smart grids. Discussed are applications, from large grid renewable integration, WAMPAC systems to micro-grids. Load scheduling and power balance, communications issues, understanding customer behavior, large area protection and distribution control are only some aspects of the challenge of making power grids more robust, more intelligent. The potential complexity of such smart grids requires careful study and analysis before actual realization. This paper explains how such challenges are addressed using real-time simulation technologies in different laboratories around the world. 978-1-4799-0336-8/13/$31.00 ©2013 IEEE

“…In [14], the simulation of a very large power network with near to 20000 bus and 5000 generators was made in real-time at a time step of 10 milliseconds using the direct method. Table I shows the performance of this solver for three largescale test cases.…”

This paper discusses recent developments of the highperformance 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.
