SimPowerSystems 5.2

Modeling Custom Components

SimPowerSystems enables you to model custom components by using the fundamental elements included in its libraries and by combining these elements with Simulink blocks.

Components provided in SimPowerSystems include:

Electrical elements: Linear and saturable transformers; arrestors and breakers; and transmission line models

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

Power electronics: Diodes, simplified and complex thyristors, GTOs, switches, IGBT models, and universal bridges that allow selection of standard bridge topologies

Control and measurement: 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: RLC loads and branches; breakers and faults; pi-section lines; voltage sources; transformers; synchronous and asynchronous generators; and motors, analyzers, and measurements
