Abstract:
What if solving complex power system problems was like running a busy restaurant—with one dish that constantly slows down the kitchen? This presentation explores the idea that some computational tasks in power systems are exactly that: bottlenecks within an increasingly heterogeneous simulation landscape. Quantum computing promises speed, co-simulation ensures flexibility—so what if we combined both? This thesis introduces quantum–classical co-simulation as a response to the dual challenge of diversity and computational demand. We identify key applications where this approach makes sense—such as probabilistic power flow or unit commitment—and take a deep dive into one: quantum power flow based on the HHL algorithm. A proof-of-concept was executed on a real quantum computer, demonstrating a tailor-made quantum operator for power flow. Along the way, we assess feasibility, limitations, and future directions for applying quantum–classical co-simulation to power systems.
