Abstract
For small signal stability analysis of power systems, computing eigenvalues of the state space model is a widely used method, but still worthy of study due to computational issues in practical application. For large-scale power systems, high dimension of state space model, unknown distribution of eigenvalues and requirement on computing speed make computation of eigenvalues a challenging task. A computationally efficient method is proposed with utilizing synchronous parallelization for finding eigenvalues of concern in a flexibly specified area on the s-plane. The designed parallel framework achieves exact workload balance among computing units, which is attributed to the kernel eigenvalue solver implemented by Krylov–Schur factorization with fixing subspace dimension and discarding restart process. Satisfactory parallel speedup and numerical stability are obtained. Reliability for finding all target eigenvalues and parallel scalability of the parallelization are validated by numerical experiments on three power systems with different scales.
在电力系统的小信号稳定性分析中,计算状态空间模型的特征值是一种广泛使用的方法,但由于实际应用中的计算问题,这种方法仍然值得研究。对于大规模电力系统,状态空间模型的高维度、特征值的未知分布以及对计算速度的要求使得特征值的计算成为一项具有挑战性的任务。本文提出了一种计算高效的方法,利用同步并行化在 s 平面上灵活指定的区域内查找相关特征值。所设计的并行框架在计算单元之间实现了精确的工作量平衡,这归功于通过固定子空间维度和摒弃重启过程的 Krylov-Schur 因式分解实现的内核特征值求解器。并行速度和数值稳定性都令人满意。在三个不同规模的电力系统上进行的数值实验验证了找到所有目标特征值的可靠性和并行化的可扩展性。
