Abstract

Abstract

The computational speed of electromagnetic transient programs (EMTP) is severely limited by both the curse of dimensionality and the ill-conditioned system matrix, which collectively degrade solver performance. However, existing research on EMTP acceleration has largely overlooked the issue of ill-conditioning. This letter presents a first systematic, EMT-oriented investigation of the ill-conditioning of the EMTP admittance matrix by establishing a link between its physical origins and mathematical pathologies, thereby revealing the underlying mechanism by which network topology induces ill-conditioning. Building upon these structural insights, a preconditioner-based strategy is developed that significantly accelerates computation while preserving numerical accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the outstanding efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach.
