Introduction

SimPowerSystems extends Simulink® with tools for modeling and simulating basic electrical circuits and detailed electrical power systems. These tools let you model the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electrical power, as well as its conversion into mechanical power. SimPowerSystems is well suited to the development of complex, self-contained power systems, such as those in automobiles, aircraft, manufacturing plants, and power utility applications.

Together, SimPowerSystems and Simulink provide an efficient environment for multidomain modeling and controller design. By connecting the electrical parts of the simulation to other Simulink blocks, you can rapidly draw the circuit topology and simultaneously analyze the circuit’s interactions with mechanical, thermal, and control systems.

The block libraries and simulation methods in SimPowerSystems were developed by TransÉnergie Technologies Inc. of Montreal.
