InterPSS: A New Generation Power System Simulation Engine
This work addresses power system simulation challenges for researchers and developers, offering incremental improvements through an open and extensible framework.
The paper tackles the need for advanced power system simulation by presenting InterPSS, a new simulation engine with an open architecture, and demonstrates its capabilities through applications like integrated transmission-distribution co-simulation and hybrid electromagnetic-phasor simulations, showing it as an attractive option for research and future development.
This paper presents the design of InterPSS simulation engine, including its object model, open software architecture, and software development process. Several advanced applications, including an integrated transmission and distribution co-simulation, an electromagnetic transient and phasor domain hybrid simulation, and InterPSS integration with a market simulator, have been developed by either extending InterPSS simulation engine or integrating it with other programs and/or platforms. These advanced applications show that the open architecture combined with the comprehensive modeling and simulation capabilities make InterPSS a very attractive option for the research and the future new power system simulation application development.
