Session 8: Building and Customizing Nonlinear Models

The Power System Blockset provides a wide collection of nonlinear models. It can happen, however, that you need to interface your own nonlinear model with the standard models provided in the powerlib library. This model could be a simple nonlinear resistance simulating an arc or a varistor, a saturable inductor, a new type of motor, etc.

In the following section you learn how to build such a nonlinear model. We will use as examples a simple saturable inductance and a nonlinear resistance.
