Benchmarks | 110-Bus 500 kV Transmission System

Model name	110-bus 500 kV transmission system
Highlights	Only simulation tool capable of simulating this network on as few as 1 core at 61 us or 2 cores at 20 us HYPERSIM automatically parallelizes the network into 268 tasks and distributes them on all available cores for maximum speed, e.g. 10 us on 7 cores
Model diagram
Single-phase nodes	336
Generators (3φ, synchronous)	14
Transformers (3φ)	14
Single-circuit lines (3φ, Bergeron model)	171
RLC (3φ)	44
Breakers (3φ) and faults (4φ)	2 + 1 = 3
Hardware	OP5707XG Motherboard: SuperMicro X11DPL-i Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5222 CPU @ 3.80GHz; 8 cores RAM: 32 GB
Software	Platform: HYPERSIM Compiler: Intel 2019 (19.03.199)
Minimum license required	HXG Max (2 cores)
Results 1 core	Number of core(s): 1 Minimum time-step: 61 us *
Results 2 cores	Number of core(s): 2 Minimum time-step: 20 us *
Results 7 cores	Number of core(s): 7 Minimum time-step: 10 us * * Performance under transient conditions varying considerably depending on the study type, this benchmark measures the minimum achievable time-step without overruns in steady-state conditions. A rule of thumb is to consider 10 to 20 % buffer time for calculations under transient conditions.
