Abstract This paper is related to research on parallelization techniques for the simulation of electromagnetic transients (EMTs). It presents a new approach based on a parallel-in-time equation grouping and reordering (PEGR) technique whose original theoretical formulation is modified, extended and generalized from state-space to the modified-augmented-nodal analysis (MANA) formulation method. The highly efficient sparse linear solver KLU is incorporated in the approach for power system network matrix solution. The proposed approach is implemented with OpenMP Multithreading for CPU-based parallelization. Test results show that EMT simulations can be accelerated by exploiting the intrinsic independency of certain solution procedures using the PEGR technique.
