Abstract
The need for a fast numerical method that ensures stability and accuracy for real-time simulation of power systems still remains a challenging problem for researchers. In this paper, a new method based on an explicit integration method and parallel execution on DSPs is proposed. Some examples and preliminary results are included for illustrative purposes.
