Comprehensive Block Library

The SimPowerSystems library contains more than 130 blocks distributed in six sublibraries.

You can use the library in combination with Simulink to create electrical block diagrams consisting of SimPowerSystems elements and control circuitry. The interconnection between the electrical blocks and the Simulink blocks lets you study how the control system relates to the power system.

The library also includes blocks that measure and control current and voltage. These act as links between electrical signals and Simulink blocks. Additional measurement blocks are available for Fourier analysis and 3-phase sequence analysis. You can use the measurement blocks at selected points within your model to observe the electrical signals via Simulink scopes or convert them into Simulink signals.

The SimPowerSystems block library contains common electrical power network components and devices. The Powergui block lets you control the simulation and analysis. Click on image to see enlarged view.

The SimPowerSystems library provides the following sublibraries:

Electrical sources includes sources for AC and DC voltage, controlled voltage, and controlled current

Electrical circuit elements includes resistor, inductor, and capacitor branches and loads; linear and saturable transformers; arrestors and breakers; and transmission line models

Electric machinery includes models of synchronous, permanent magnet synchronous, and DC machines; excitation systems; and models of both hydraulic and steam turbine-governor systems

Power electronics includes diodes, simplified and complex thyristors, GTOs, switches, MOSFETs, IGBT models, and Universal Bridges

Control and measurement includes voltage, current, and impedance measurements; RMS measurements; active and reactive power calculations; timers, multimeters and Fourier analysis; HVDC control; Total Harmonic Distortion; and abc-to-dq0 and dq0-to-abc transformations

Three-phase components includes RLC loads and branches; breakers and faults; pi-section lines; voltage sources; diodes, thyristors, and transformers; and generators, analyzers, and measurements
