Dec 1, 2024Month: 2024-12 | Repository: sogno-platform/dpsim Key features delivered: - Simulation performance optimization and VBR modeling enhancements: Implemented experimental compile flags in CMake (RelWithDebInfo) to accelerate simulation runtime. Updated HIL example to support VBR (Voltage-Based Representation) generator with dynamic full models, VBR-specific generator and exciter parameters for GEN1-3, adjusted current offset, and enabled system matrix recomputation for faster, more accurate simulations. Major bugs fixed: - None reported this month; efforts centered on performance improvements and feature enhancements. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Business value: Significantly faster simulation turnaround enables more iterations, larger-scale studies, and quicker validation of modeling changes, improving time-to-insight for development and testing. - Technical impact: Performance-focused refactors and new VBR support improved fidelity and throughput, enabling more accurate and scalable simulations with tighter numerical stability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - CMake and build optimization (RelWithDebInfo flags) - HIL testing and workflow adaptations - VBR modeling and parameterization (GEN1-3, exciters) - Dynamic full models and system matrix recomputation - Numerical stability considerations (current offset adjustments) - Performance engineering and impact analysis
