SimPowerSystems

Multidomain Physical Modeling in MATLAB and Simulink

SimPowerSystems provides extended capabilities for modeling electrical power systems. You can create your physical plant model using physical connections and connect it directly to your control model built using signal flows in Simulink. SimPowerSystems models can also be connected directly to other MathWorks application- and domain-specific physical modeling tools, enabling you to model complex interactions in multidomain physical systems. You can use MATLAB® to parameterize your model, automate simulation tests, analyze output data, and optimize system performance. As a result, you can test your entire system (multidomain physical plant and controller) within the MATLAB and Simulink environment.
