- It proposes an optimization approach for electric field simulation in 500kV gas -insulated switchgear (GIS) circuit breakers that use GPU acceleration. Accurate modelling of electric field distribution within GIS circuit breakers is critical for assuring the dependability and safety of high voltage power systems. However, the computational complexity of simulating these systems presents substantial obstacles to established approaches. The goal of this work is to improve the speed, efficiency, and scalability of electric field simulations by leveraging GPU parallel processing capabilities. They methodically build and refine the simulation algorithm, utilizing techniques such as parallel algorithm design, GPU architecture optimization, and efficient memory management. Through rigorous performance studies, they demonstrate significant increases in computational efficiency relative to CPU -based techniques, with an average speed up of 15x. Furthermore, the scalability of the GPU-accelerated method is evaluated, demonstrating near -linear scalability up to 8 GPUs. Validation against experimental observations and analytical models indicates that the simulation findings are accurate and robust. This study helps the progress of electric field simulation tools for GIS circuit breakers by providing insights into electric field behaviour and aiding design optimization and performance evaluation in high voltage power systems.
