Simscape Power Systems Simulink

MATLAB®/Simulink® is a software package developed by MathWorks® used for modeling, simulation and analysis of dynamic systems. The Simscape Electrical Specialized Power Systems Simulink Blockset is used to define electrical models for simulation purposes using the Add-On. Users are expected to have a clear understanding of Simulink operation, particularly regarding model definition and simulation parameters. The Simscape Electrical Specialized Power Systems Simulink Blockset provides the libraries and analysis tools to model and simulate electrical systems. It is used by the Add-On only as a circuit description environment. The Simscape Electrical simulation engine can also be used to validate the results of the Add-On in an offline mode.

The circuit must be designed using a special subset of blocks found in the Simscape Electrical Specialized Power Systems Simulink Blockset.
