Description

The Generic Battery block represents a simple battery. If you select Infinite for the Battery charge capacity parameter, the block models the battery as a series resistor and a constant voltage source. If you select Finite for the Battery charge capacity parameter, the block models the battery as a series resistor and a charge-dependent voltage source whose voltage as a function of charge has the following reciprocal relationship:

where:

Dialog Box and Parameters

Nominal voltage, V_nominal

The voltage at the output port when the battery is fully charged. The default value is 12 V.

Internal resistance, R1

Internal connection resistance. The default value is 2 Ω.

Battery charge capacity

Select one of the following options for modeling the charge capacity of the battery:

Ampere-Hour rating, AH

The maximum battery charge in ampere-hours. This parameter is only visible when you select Finite for the Battery charge capacity parameter. The default value is 50 hr*A.

Initial charge

The battery charge at the start of the simulation. This parameter is only visible when you select Finite for the Battery charge capacity parameter. The default value is 50 hr*A.

Voltage V1 < V_nominal when charge is AH1

The battery output voltage when the charge level is AH1 hr*A. This parameter is only visible when you select Finite for the Battery charge capacity parameter. The default value is 11.5 V.

Charge AH1 when no-load volts are V1

The battery charge level in hr*A when the no-load output voltage is V1. This parameter is only visible when you select Finite for the Battery charge capacity parameter. The default value is 25 hr*A.

Self-discharge resistance, R2

Select one of the following options for modeling the self-discharge resistance of the battery:

R2

The resistance across the battery output terminals that represents battery self-discharge. This parameter is only visible when you select Include for the Self-discharge resistance, R2 parameter. The default value is 2e+03 Ω.

Ports

The block has the following ports:

+

Positive electrical voltage.

-

Negative electrical voltage.
