Optimally applying latency insertion method in large system models

Latency Insertion Method (LIM) can be applied to divide a large system model into a multiplicity of smaller models to reduce simulation execution time. In this paper we have developed an algorithm for optimal placement of LIM connectors into a large system model so that the large model can be partitioned into many smaller models to achieve maximum speed up. Testing results showed that for reference system models having structures similar to electric power distribution systems, simulation speed was increased by a factor of more than three while keeping the error rate within 1%.
