Abstract: This paper presents details on the development of a fully digital real-time power system simulator “Hypersim" on a new hardware architecture called PC cluster. PC cluster is a parallel-processing system composed by commodity hardware. Therefore hardware cost of the developed simulator can be reduced compared with simulators implemented on supercomputers. The authors prototyped a real-time simulator “Hypersim" on a 4 CPU cluster. For a small and large size of benchmark power system network, 4 CPU cluster can simulate the network in real-time with 21 and 78 microseconds time step, respectively. This simulator makes us enable to test several equipments in real-time.
