Abstract

An integrated testbed using digital real-time simulator (DRTS) and a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster is presented here to compare speed and performance of computational schemes to mitigate time-critical issues in electric power systems. The first approach in this testbed validation is taken by running a set of closed-loop load shedding algorithms to compare and contrast two paradigms of arresting cascading failure propagation. Two algorithms involve solving DC and AC power flow model-based optimization problems to compute load shedding at different buses, while a model-based stochastic search using parallel computing provides a viable alternative. The algorithms are implemented in the DRTS-HPC testbed for the IEEE 14-bus benchmark transmission system. As a proof of the concept, simulation results are presented for implementation of closed-loop load-shedding algorithms for cascading failures in the DRTS-HPC testbed.
