As the power grid technology evolution and information technology revolution converge, power grids are witnessing a revolutionary transition, represented by emerging grid technologies and large scale deployment of new sensors and meters in networks. This transition brings opportunities, as well as computational challenges in the field of power grid analysis and operation. This paper presents some research outcomes in the areas of parallel state estimation using the preconditioned conjugated gradient method, parallel contingency analysis with a dynamic load balancing scheme and distributed system architecture. Based on this research, three types of computational challenges are identified: highly coupled applications, loosely coupled applications, and centralized and distributed applications. Recommendations for future work for power grid applications are also presented.
