Abstract

The modern power system is evolving with increasing penetration of power electronics introducing complicated electromagnetic phenomenon. Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation is essential to understand power system behavior under disturbance which however is one of the most sophisticated and time-consuming applications in power system. To improve the electromagnetic transient simulation efficiency while keeping the simulation accuracy, this paper proposes to model and simulate power system electromagnetic transients by very large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI) as a preliminary exploration to eventually represent power system by VLSI circuit chip avoiding numerical calculation. To proof the concept, a simple 5 bus system is modeled and simulated to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.
