Microcomputer-based database management techniques for pulsed power and other system studies

Abstract

A microcomputer-based database management system developed to meet the objectives of database access and processing for certain analysis software is described. It uses a standard database management language to relate data for power flow, transient and dynamic analysis, bus reduction, and the electromagnetic transients program (EMTP) for large-system analysis. The authors demonstrate how such a sophisticated database manager can contribute to the efficient utilization of comprehensive application software in a large-system context, both for the present problem of pulsed loading analysis and for the larger context of power system analysis in general.<>
