The simulation methodology presented in this book is demonstrated by parallelizing the simulation of a notional Navy shipboard power system model on a quad-core desktop computer running Windows 7. The model presents characteristics of Navy shipboard power systems (AC¹⁰-radial type), but it does not represent any particular vessel.
