Begin with this chapter and also the next chapter to learn how to

Build and simulate electrical circuits using the powerlib library
Interface an electrical circuit with Simulink blocks
Analyze the steady-state and frequency response of an electrical circuit
Discretize your model to increase simulation speed, especially for power electronic circuits and large power systems
Use the phasor simulation method
Build your own nonlinear models

See the Release Notes for details on the latest release.

Also, see these chapters:

Getting Started to learn how to simulate discretized electrical circuits
Advanced Components and Techniques to learn how to apply the phasor simulation to transient stability study of multimachine systems
Improving Simulation Performance to learn how to increase simulation speed

For reference information on blocks, simple demos, and GUI-based tools, use the SimPowerSystems Reference.

For commands, refer to Function Reference for a synopsis of the command syntax, as well as a complete explanation of options and operation.

This guide uses the International System of Units (SI) and the per unit (pu) system. See Technical Conventions for details.
