Chapter 11ATP Applications Using a Parallel Computing Environment

Javier A. Corea‐Araujo Gerardo Guerra and Juan A. Martinez‐Velasco

11.1 Introduction

The previous chapters have shown how the Alternative Transients Program (ATP) package can be used for both analysis and design tasks: post‐mortem studies can detect the causes of a dielectric failure, the simulation of a distribution system with some penetration of power electronics converters can be useful for estimating the harmonic distortion produced by those converters, an insulation coordination study can be used for selecting the insulation levels of an overhead transmission line or the ratings of surge arresters aimed at protecting substation equipment.

Although it has been shown how ATP capabilities can be used to carry out parametric and statistical studies, the fact is that previous chapters only presented case studies in which ATP was applied as a standalone simulation tool. ATP users can go a step further by developing simulation environments in which ATP capabilities are combined with capabilities from other simulation tools. Such combinations can create powerful tools that significantly expand ATP applications.

MATLAB/Simulink is a well‐known simulation environment with features that can be used for prototyping new models and solving large‐scale systems in combination with other tools. In addition, several MATLAB‐based toolboxes can be used for very different applications. ATP offers capabilities for developing custom‐made ...
