Application of the Alternating Direction Implicit Method to the Block-Latency Insertion Method for Analysis of the Multilayered Power Distribution Networks

Abstract

In this paper, a technique to analyze the multilayered power distribution networks efficiently is proposed. The Block-LIM, which can perform the high-speed simulation of the network including the mutual coupling circuit elements, has been proposed. However, the Block-LIM has the restriction on the time step size by the reason why the Block-LIM is the explicit technique. In the proposed approach, the restriction is relaxed by applying the alternating direction implicit method to the Block-LIM. From the numerical results, the efficiency of the proposed approach is confirmed.
