This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) project grant award to Iowa State University of Science and Technology totaling $411,904 will develop new methods to accelerate long-term electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations of electric grids powered by renewable energy resources. The key research objectives are to:
- Model transmission lines using improved lumped-parameter approaches to minimize simulation errors,
- Engineer a specialized numerical integration algorithm to efficiently solve the differential-algebraic equations modeling the grid, and
- Implement the solver using parallel graphics processing unit computations.
The education plan involves creating 3D animations and virtual reality experiences to enhance learning about EMT phenomena, and disseminating the advances through social media, continuing education, and engagement with high school students. No subawards are planned under this 5-year project grant, which commenced on August 1, 2024.
