Power System Applications

The underlying impetuous for our research is to improve the performance of electrical power system applications that provide real-time power system control and real-time support for proactive decision making with efficient parallel linear solver algorithms. In particular, our research has focused on load-flow and transient stability applications [1,2,4,62], where sparse linear solvers account for a substantial percentage of floating point operations encountered [7,54]. Efficient parallel linear solvers could significantly affect real-time performance of these applications.
