Electrical power systems are the largest man-made geographically distributed nonlinear structures that are**composed of a variety of equipment such as generators, transformers, transmission lines, customer loads,**spanning thousands of kilometers. Electromagnetic transient simulation (EMT) tools are used analyze and**solve major operational and control problems in power systems. EMT simulation of large-scale power systems**consumes so much computational power that parallel programming techniques are urgently needed in this area.**Currently available EMT simulation tools were designed to run on single-core CPUs, and therefore, cannot**take advantage of the multi-core CPUs and many-core graphics processors (GPUs) to manage computational**load. Massive-thread computing is one of the key developments that can increase the EMT computational**capabilities substantially when the processing unit has enough hardware cores. The aim of this project is to**develop a host of innovations towards implementing a parallel massive-thread EMT simulator for large-scale**power systems on the GPU and multi-core CPU hardware architectures. The main features of this work is to**design and build massive-thread models for various power system and power electronic components, finite**element and finite difference time domain models, efficient numerical algorithms, advanced data analysis and**visualization, and validation of the simulator.**The project results are expected to prove the feasibility of a functional parallel massive-thread EMT simulator**that can achieve computational speed-up in large-scale system simulation while using very detailed system**component models. The main beneficiary of this project will be Manitoba HVDC Research Centre (MHRC)**which can integrate the developed innovations into their flagship EMT simulation tool PSCAD/EMTDC. The**experienced team of highly qualified engineers trained in this project will contribute to the ongoing**advancement of the EMT simulation technology and may prove to be valuable future employees for MHRC.
