Abstract :
This contribution describes a very efficient methodology for the computation of the periodic steady state solution of electric systems with nonlinear components. It combines the advantages of applying a Newton technique for the fast time domain periodic steady state system solution with the application of parallel multi-processing technology based on the parallel virtual machine (PVM) computer platform. A comparison of the computer efficiency between the solution obtained with the described methodology and the conventional sequential computation process is presented.
