For electromagnetic transient (EMT) analysis programs, faster simulations are always desired, since circuits to be simulated are becoming larger and larger. This paper proposes a non-zero element combination recording algorithm for fast search for non-zero elements in the LU decomposition of a large sparse matrix obtained from circuit equations. It should be noted that the solution process of the circuit equations occupies a large portion of the total simulation time. A sparse matrix routine with the proposed algorithm has been developed. In a simulation case with a synchronous generator model which requires frequent LU decompositions, the developed routine is faster by 1.5 times than the conventional one.
