As the penetration of power electronics increases in power grids, new computing architectures needed to be evaluated for the simulation of high-fidelity models of power electronics in power grids in operations. In this paper, emerging computing architectures such as quantum processing units are evaluated for the simulation of power electronics in power grids. A hybrid algorithm based on classical computing and quantum computing is developed and tested for different use cases of electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation of power electronics (PE)-based systems and simple circuits. The algorithms needed to simulate power electronics in emerging computing architectures are discussed and thereafter, simulation results are shown.
