Analog Behavioral Models and the Design of Analog Emulation Engines for Power System Computation

This paper addresses the use of Analog Behav- ioral Models (ABMs) in an efficient strategy for designing analog emulation engines for large scale power system com- putation. Through discussion of historical development of analog computation in power system analysis and its present resurgence, we present the need for, and application of ABMs for model verification and validation prior to full structural design and implementation. Results of PSpice simulations of these emulation circuits are also presented and compared with industrial grade numerical simulations for validation.
