Distributed Parareal in Time with Adaptive Coarse Solver for Large Scale Power System Simulations

This paper describes a distributed Parareal in time algorithm with the adaptive coarse solver. In the distributed algorithm, the propagation of a coarse solution is distributed among processors in addition to the fine solution propagation. In the adaptive coarse solver the complexity of the model is changed based on the size of generator rotor angle deviation. In addition, non-iterative approach to model a ZIP load is presented. The proposed method is tested on the large-scale 5617-machine 70285-bus Eastern Interconnection system.
