InterPSS 2.0 is a new generation of InterPSS software development. It is totally Cloud based. The goal is to make the Cloud-based power system simulation easily accessible around the global.
The figure above depicts a high-level architecture view of InterPSS 2.0.
Information Security and Privacy
Over the last few years, the technology to secure information in the Cloud has matured. Cloud computing technology has been endorsed by US Government (Ref[2]) and US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) (Ref[3]).
User's InterPSS application Google Spreadsheet, after copied from InterPSS application Spreadsheet Template, is stored in and protected by user's Google account. It does interacts with user Google Drive, reading data from and writing data to the Drive. InterPSS application Google Spreadsheet uses Google App Script to implement the interaction. To examine the scripts, go the following two places:
InterPSS Simulation Engine
InterPSS simulation engine is a very powerful power system simulation engine, written in Java programming language. The engine implementation is based on our early research work (Ref [1]). It has been verified against other commercial software by independent third parties. In the following benchmark testing report, a 14K-Bus power network, directly exported from an ISO's on-line EMS system, is used to benchmark InterPSS core simulation against PowerWorld simulation software.
InterPSS Core Simulation Engine Benchmark Testing Report
InterPSS project and its development experience have been summarized in a book chapter "Distributed Parallel Power System Simulation" in the book "High Performance Computing in Power and Energy Systems", published by Springer.
The following are some large-size sample cases:
