Implementation of parallel algorithms for transient stability analysis on a message passing multicomputer

Real time transient stability analysis is a challenging computing problem. In order to speed up the solution of this problem, parallel processing technologies have been applied. In this paper, the implementation of parallel algorithms for power system transient stability analysis on a message passing multicomputer is described. Both parallelism-in-space and parallelism-in-time are exploited. Test simulations are performed for two large-scale power systems using an IBM SP2 parallel computer. Speedup results are presented to show the performance of the proposed algorithms.
