SimPowerSystems
Model and simulate electrical power systems
SimPowerSystems™ provides component libraries and analysis tools for modeling and simulating electrical power
systems. The libraries offer models of electrical power components, including three-phase machines, electric
drives, and components for applications such as flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and renewable energy
systems. Harmonic analysis, calculation of total harmonic distortion (THD), load flow, and other key electrical
power system analyses are automated.
SimPowerSystems models can be used to develop control systems and test system-level performance. You can
parameterize your models using MATLAB® variables and expressions, and design control systems for your
electrical power system in Simulink®. You can add mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and other components to
the model using Simscape™ and test them together in a single simulation environment. To deploy models to other
simulation environments, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, SimPowerSystems supports C-code
generation.
SimPowerSystems was developed in collaboration with Hydro-Québec of Montreal.
