Development of a reconfigurable and data-parallel architecture for real-time digital simulation of large-scale electric power systems

电网面临着巨大的挑战，需要先进的实时仿真技术来了解和解决。现代电力系统是一个不断从一种运行状态演化到另一种运行状态的大规模非线性结构。仿真是电力系统规划、设计、运行和控制中不可或缺的一部分，以确保向用户提供安全、可靠和高质量的电力。除了高速模拟复杂的计算模型外，现代实时数字仿真器还能够通过高分辨率输入输出接口与外部硬件进行即时通信。因此，保护继电器或数字控制器可以连接到硬件在环(HIL)配置的实时仿真器，并在安装到电力系统之前进行全面测试。最近在并行处理技术方面取得了重大进展，特别是与以下相关的技术

The electric power grid is facing momentous challenges that require advanced real-time simulation technologies to understand and solve. Modern electrical power systems are large-scale nonlinear structures that are constantly evolving from one operating state to another. Simulation is an integral part of power system planning, design, operation, and control, to ensure the safety, reliability, and high quality of electrical power supplied to consumers. Besides simulating a complex computational model at high speed, modern real-time digital simulators are capable of instantaneous communication with external hardware through high resolution input-output interfaces. Thus a protective relay or a digital controller can be connected to a real-time simulator in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) configuration and fully tested before being installed in the power system. Significant advances have been made recently in parallel processing technologies related, in particular, to
