SimPowerSystems

Tutorial

To master the Power System Blockset, you must learn how to build and simulate electrical circuits. The Power System Blockset operates in the Simulink environment. Therefore, before starting this training you should be familiar with Simulink. For help on using Simulink, see the Using Simulink guide.
The tutorial is organized into eight sessions. Sessions 1 through 3 are based on a simple power system. Sessions 4 and 5 illustrate power electronics. Session 6 introduces the phasor method, and Session 7 demonstrates three-phase power systems, electrical machinery, and load flow. Session 8 explains how you can create and customize your own nonlinear blocks.

Session 1: Simulating a Simple Circuit
Build a simple circuit with Power System blocks and connect it to other Simulink blocks

Session 2: Analyzing a Simple Circuit
Use the Powergui block and analyze static and frequency-domain response

Session 3: Simulating Transients
Create an electrical subsystem, simulate transients, and discretize simple circuits

Session 4: Introducing Power Electronics
Use power electronics and transformers and vary a circuit's initial conditions

Session 5: Simulating Motor Drives
Model and discretize simple motors with specialized blocks

Session 6: Introducing the Phasor Simulation Method
Use the phasor method to analyze magnitudes and phases in linear circuits

Session 7: Three-Phase Systems and Machines
Use electrical machines and three-phase components

Session 8: Building and Customizing Nonlinear Models
Model nonlinear systems and create your own blocks to represent them
