Such a huge system is prone to many kinds of disturbances which may lead to undesirable effects on the network, such as blackouts or loss of synchronism in generators. Transient stability analysis examines the dynamic behavior of a power system for as much as several seconds following a power disturbance. Computational complexity of transient stability analysis have kept them from being run in real-time to support decision making at the time of a disturbance and prevent cascading failures. Parallel processing is a promising technology for the speed up of the dynamic simulation required in transient stability. This project presents the transient stability analysis performed on the graphics multiprocessors as an emerging general purpose parallel platform. The analysis involves solution of extremely large systems of differential and algebraic equations. Various integration techniques are available to transform the differential equations to non-differential, nonlinear system of equations. However, the core of the resulting nonlinear equations from any integration schemes is the solution of a large sparse linear system.enBS ThesisElectrical EngineeringPower SystemElectric PowerThesis
