Topic： Fast Time-Domain Simulation Using Semi- Analytic Solutions of Power System DAEs
Lecturer: Dr. Kai Sun Assistant Professor, the University of Tennessee
Time： 2:00-3:30 pm, May 13, 2015

Abstract：This presentation introduces an alternative, semi-analytical approach to solution of the initial value problem of power system differential-algebraic equations. Different from the traditional numerical integration based approach, this new approach applies the Adomian Decomposition Method to derive an approximate solution, called a semi-analytic solution, as a closed-form explicit function of time, the initial state and parameters on the system condition. Such a solution directly describes the system’s trajectory being accurate over a certain time window. Then, a multi-stage scheme repeatedly applying that solution for sequential time windows is able to give the system’s trajectory for a desired simulation period without iterative computations at each time step as numerical integration does. The time performance of the new approach for time-domain simulation is compared with the traditional Runge–Kutta method.
