Array and parallel processors in on-line computations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6232575
The author presents a classification of parallel processors and discusses previous EPRI-sponsored work indicating that the array processor holds special promise for use in power systems simulation problems. Operating on this premise, a complete ac power flow code was developed for the floating-point systems AP-120b array processor and its host computer. This optimized code will solve the IEEE-standard 118-bus power flow in less than 2.5 ms from a flat start and can be reasonably projected to solve a 1000-bus power flow in less than 0.5 second.
