What Is Simpowersystems?: 1. Component/Device Level?

The Power System Blockset has been renamed to SimPowerSystems. It works together with Simulink to model electrical power systems. If you are interested in terms like 'electron', 'charge density' or 'Boltzmann's constant' then this is most probably not for you.

Introduction

What Is SimPowerSystems? Starting with MathWorks Release 13, the Power System Blockset has been renamed to SimPowerSystems. What is it for? Power System Blockset work together with Simulink to model electrical power systems. Electrical power systems are combinations of electrical circuits and electromechanical devices like motors and generators. A common attribute of these systems is their use of power electronics and control systems to achieve their performance objectives. What are the advantages? Since Power System Blockset uses the Simulink environment, it allows a model to be built using simple click and drag procedures. Not only can you draw the circuit topology rapidly, but your analysis of the circuit can include its interactions with mechanical, thermal, control, and other disciplines. This is possible because all the electrical parts of the simulation interact with the extensive Simulink modeling library. Since Simulink uses MATLAB as the computational engine, designers can also use MATLAB toolboxes and other Simulink blocksets. What are the available component models? The Power System Blockset libraries contain models of typical power equipment such as transformers, lines, machines, and power electronics. This enables you to use the prepared models in your system simulations. Otherwise, you will have to create each component models by yourself from basic Simulink blocks which is not impossible if you know the equations and the principle of operation for the components. Nevertheless, it will take a lot of your time and effort. Is it for me? First you must ask yourself, what aspects of the system you are interested in? Which level? 1. Component/device level? Clue: if your work involves terms like electron, charge density or Boltzmanns constant, then this is most probably not for you. You may need a physics-based model. A typical example is the design of gate drive and snubber circuit for converters. 2. Converter/Power electronics controller level? Clue: your work involves terms like Volts, Amps, Switching frequency. You are interested in the design of the controller for the power converter, eg.

Controller structure, modulation and the switching algorithm. This software may or may not be suitable for you, depend on which area you are looking into. If you want to design the controller circuit from discrete ICs, then you might be more suited to use software like PSPICE. However, if you are only interested in the algorithm of the controller, then Power System Blockset and Simulink is more suitable as it allows you to model the control blocks much easier. 3. System level? Clue: the keywords are Volts, Amps, kWatts, MWatts, rpm. Typical activities are the design of complete variable speed drive system. The Power System Blockset and Simulink is suitable since you can include the interactions with mechanical, thermal, control, and others in your model quite easily. How to start? Lets explore the Power System Blockset. The electrical components are grouped in a special library called powerlib. Open the Power System Blockset library by entering the following command at the MATLAB prompt: powerlib This command displays a Simulink window showing icons of different block libraries. They are: Electrical sources: DC voltage source, AC voltage source, AC current source, controlled current source, controlled voltage source. Elements: Series RLC load/branch, Parallel RLC load/branch, Three-phase transformer etc. Power Electronics: MOSFET, Diode, Thyristor, Universal Bridge etc. Machines: DC machines, Synchronous machines, Asynchronous machines etc. Connectors: Especially important for grounding. Measurements: Voltage measurement, Current measurement, Multimeter etc. Lets begin exploring the use of some of these blocks by tackling a case study.
