Abstract

Static State Security Analysis (SSSA) is a key technology to ensure the stability of power systems. It is difficult to satisfy the computing requirement with traditional CPU-based concurrent methods, so that GPU is used to accelerate large amount of power flow calculations. The main issue of GPU-based SSSA is complex iterative operations in solving nonlinear equations. A GPU-based SSSA method is proposed for power systems, in which a novel algorithm is proposed for sparse matrix calculation and small partitioned matrices processing. GPU-based multifrontal algorithm is used to combine various small matrices into one matrix in multiplication for fast calculation. Compared with the execution on 4-cores CPU, the proposed method can decrease 40 % calculation time based on GPU to get a better performance.
