MPI Parallel Computing on Eigensystems of Small Signal Stability Analysis for Large Interconnected Power Grids.

摘要

igenanalysis is widely used in power system stability study. With PC technologies available today, it takes long time to compute the entire eigensystems of large interconnected power grids. Since power transmission lines are connected & disconnected and line loads keep changing frequently, tracking eigensystems in real-time requires parallel computation. Recently, a parallel eigensystem computation method, the Break and Bind (B & B) method, has been proposed by Dr. H. M. Banakar in McGill University. This method is viewing connection of two isolated sub-networks as being equivalent to a rank-one modification (ROM) of the stiffness matrix and considering the two sub-networks as a single entity. Research of this thesis consists of implementing the B & B method based on Message Passing Interface (MPI) parallel programming in
