Popis: The energy sector as a whole, and particularly power systems, are evolving at a very high pace due to a global demand for cleaner energy. It implies major changes in the way the systems are designed, operated and maintained, notably affecting the simulation tools used by System Operators and power system stakeholders. To ensure stability and reliability in the future, a switch towards transparent, robust and flexible simulation tools is required. Most of the existing solutions use imperative programming languages and causal modeling in association with heuristics combining the solving and modeling aspects to accelerate the simulations. Their upgradability is thus limited and the validity of their results can be questioned. A different and promising approach based on the use of a high-level declarative language - Modelica - and a strict separation between the modeling and solving parts has recently been proposed. It offers a great flexibility and a high quality simulation tool but reaching acceptable performances remains a challenge. This paper presents the different software optimizations that have been implemented to accelerate the voltage stability simulations in this framework. The promising results obtained pave the way for an industrial use in coming months.
