ParaEMT
NREL's EMT simulator: An Open Source, Parallelizable, and HPC-Compatible Large-Scale Power System Electro-Magnetic Transient (EMT) Simulator
Welcome to the ParaEMT simulation package! This open-source tool aims to provide a powerful and flexible platform for simulating electromagnetic transients (EMT) of large-scale inverter-based resource (IBR)-dominated power systems. The purpose of making it open source is to foster a community of EMT simulation and assist in exploring new EMT algorithms and applying advanced computational techniques to EMT simulation.
Feature
- EMT modeling
- EMT Network equation: nodal formulation based on Trapezoidal-rule method
- EMT network parallel solver: BBD
- Parallel computation of updateing device states and network historical current
- Compatible with HPC
Version Advisory
- Work with Pyhton v3.7+.
