Multi-core Parallel Processing Technique for Short-circuit Computation of Power Systems

Multi-core parallel computation technique is introduced for fault analysis of power systems. The detailed procedure is provided on how to apply the multi-core parallel computation to decompose and solve the node based matrix for short-circuit computation. The comparative analysis based on a simple power system is completed. Furthermore, the tests based on actual central China grid are conducted, and the comparison between the multi-core parallel computation and clustering computation is made. The results show that the proposed method is effective.
