On **dynamic analysis**, we have compared with serveral most commonly used traditional numerical approaches for solving ODE/DAEs, including modified Euler, Runge-Kutta, and trapezoidal methods. Tests of transient-stability analysis on IEEE 39-bus system model and large-scale mdodified Polish 2383-bus system model have verified that SAS has significant advantages over the traditional methods in both accuracy and efficiency.

We test SSR on IEEE 39-bus system by varying active power of buses 3&4. The active power of buses 3&4 are sampled uniformly over the interval of [-4000, 4000] MW. The figure below shows the SSR derived by PSS/E and PowerSAS.m. It shows that PSS/E result have some irregular outliers (about 0.1% of the samples) outside of the SSR and actually are not correct solutions of power flow equations. In contrast, PowerSAS.m correctly identifies the SSR.
Contingency ananlysis also has convergence challenges due to large disturbances. Here we perform benchmarking between PSS/E (with and without non-divergence options) and PowerSAS.m on the N-25 contingency analysis on a reduced eastern-interconnection (EI) system with 458 buses. We increase the load & generation level by 15%, 20%, and 20.7%, respectively, as 3 different loading scenarios (loading margin is 20.791%). In each scenario, we randomly choose 5000 N-25 contingency samples.
The figure shows the percentage of correct results using different tools. It can be seen that PSS/E has some chance to deliver incorrect results, and the chance increases with loading level. In contrast, PowerSAS.m still returns results all correctly.
