Developing concurrent processing applications to power system planning and operations

摘要

The implementation of existing power system applications in a concurrent programming environment is discussed. The tools comprise a multiprocessor computing system with concurrent processing software facilities and a concurrent processing simulator for helping on problem partition and debugging. Shorter execution times taking into account the solution structure are obtained. Three case studies are used to illustrate the application of the above tools and the development methodology: multiarea reliability, system analysis model, and security-constrained dispatch with postcontingency corrective rescheduling. Results show a very high efficiency in the use of the concurrent processors.
