Simulink, developed by MathWorks, is a commercial tool for modeling, simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamic systems. Its primary interface is a graphical block diagramming tool and a customizable set of block libraries. It offers tight integration with the rest of the MATLAB environment and can either drive MATLAB or be scripted from it. Simulink is widely used in control theory and digital signal processing for multidomain simulation and Model-Based Design.

it was available in previous version under (S-Function-Simcoupler) simcoupler provides interface between PSIM and Matlab/Simulink for co-simulation.
I've made a simple simulation on Simulink consisting on a PV panel, dc-dc converter, resistive load and a function block acting as a MPPT running the code for grey wolf algortihm
When I increase the solar radiance, the current from the panel (2nd graph) starts fluctuating. When i decrease the the solar radiance, the voltage from the panel (4th graph) starts to fluctuate. Further more, if the change the value of the load resistor to 100 ohms from 10 ohms, both the current and voltage goes crazy.
I have no idea what is causing this and was hoping someone could point out my mistake. I have attached the pictures below along with the simulink file. I am willing to provide more information if needed.



How do I extract transient stability post-fault response data from IEEE 16 Bus power system Simulink model for classification
I'm running a real-time model with Simulink/dSPACE DS1104. I have to make it first in MATLAB Simulink, compile it to C and download it on PCI( dSPACE 1104).
1- My sample time is 1.6e-5 s and I want to feed an RNN block with 2000 data (32 ms) via Buffer block. But I get an overrun error. I'm wondering what's the maximum available data that the RNN block can receive in this situation and how I can increase it.
2- My alternative solution is to make the problem simpler. Where a Buffer block with 64 data is enough. here the RNN block sample time is (T_r = 64*1.6e-5). but again I'm getting overrun error and I guess T_r is not enough for RNN block operation. If it's the reason how I can give the RNN block more time and skip some data? For example, receive receives data [1:64], calculate them in 9*T_r, skip [65:640] and again receive [641:704]?

Hello. I am trying to implement space vector pwm control for permanent magnet motor. In my work the permanent magnet motor is represented by two 3d look up table based flux maps. I have generated necessary switching signals for the universal bridge block which works as an inverter. My plan is to measure the three phase voltages with three phase V-I measurement block and then use park transformation to convert the abc voltage to d-q voltage values which after some mathematical operation will be inputs to the look up tables. However, I am facing two issues.
(1) I can not connect the output of the three phase VI measurement to a multiplexer through which I can connect the three phase voltages to the abc to dq0 block (as highlighted in the attached image). Is there any converter block required so that they can be connected?
(2) I need to measure the phase voltages (phase to ground). However, in my model there is ground connection. Will I be able to measure the phase voltage?

Hi everyone,
I want to use the Casadi optimization package for my NLMPC controller in Matlab/Simulink.
I read the examples of https://web.casadi.org/ site, but I can't modify them for my problem.
I want to use Casadi for the tacking problem, so I will have a time-varying cost function and I have time-varying constraints as well.
All the examples which I saw aren't included the time-varying cost function or time-varying constraints.
I would be grateful if anyone can help me.
Regards,
Hossein.

Hi all,
In matlab, we are able to find many features in the control system design applications but it always requires specifying the system inputs and outputs to be able to generate its A, B, C, D matrices. However, for an autonomous microgrid, the system has no inputs and outputs which means we only have the A matrix only. How to get the A matrix ? and how could we avoid specifying those inputs/outputs while linearizing the model ?

I am currently working on my undergraduate thesis which involves the "Non-Linear Neural Control of a Quadratic Tank Process with Delays using Internal Model Control". I have obtained the mathematical models for the plant under minimum phase and non-minimum phase operating conditions. The transfer function of the plant is a 2x2 transfer function matrix.
However, as a beginner, I am quite confused about the next step to take towards representing the built models in MATLAB & SIMULINK, obtaining data from the built models in MATLAB&SIMULINK, the algorithms to use to train the neural networks for modeling the plant, and the controller in the IMC structure, and how to validate the performance of the neural network algorithms generally.
I will appreciate any help or pointers to help me resolve my dilemma, Thank you!

I am working on the analytic signal concept for observing the frequency variation in the faulted phase current waveform in MATLAB/Simulink model. In MATLAB/Simulink model, I have used analytic signal block and hilbert's transform method to calculate the real and imaginary components of the faulted phase current. After that I have used the data of real and imaginary components of the faulted phase current to calculate the magnitude, phase, and instantaneous frequency. When I plotted the curve between the instantaneous frequency variation vs time for the faulted phase current, I observed that the frequency variation is negative in the curve of instantaneous frequency vs time for the faulted phase current. Why it is so ?

Hi All,
I'm working on a Matlab-Simulink project related to PV arrays. The Simulink model contains more than 50 modules connected in series, due to which the simulation process takes a lot of time to complete.
Any suggestion to increase speed?
Any help is highly appreciated.
I have simulated a DC-DC converter with a switching frequency of 10 kHz. I need to obtain the averaged values of the measured signals like capacitor voltage and inductor current by filtering the switching measurements. I've tried using the Simulink "Mean" block with a frequency of 10kHz, but as can be seen in the following picture, it does not result in the averaged signal, which should be a straight dc signal(the red curve) as the converter is in steady state. Can you provide a reference that introduces a systematic way to obtain the average value of a switching waveform?

I am trying to simulate a Perturb and Observe and Incremental Conductance MPPT algorithm in Simulink for an PV array.
However I am maxing up the PWM duty cycle to maximum possible value of duty cycle (i.e. 85%). If I manually set the duty cycle using pulse generator I get maximum power between 30% to 35% but in my simulation it does directly to 85%.
The same algorithm is working properly on physical hardware but not on Simulink.
The following two blocks cannot be connected in series:
Block 1: 'A_stator: Asynchronous Machine pu Units'
Block 2: 'phase_A: Three-Phase Series RLC Load'
The first block, modeled as a current source, cannot be connected in series with the inductive element of the second block.
Add a high-value resistance in parallel with one of the two block.

Reject percentage is the percent of reject flowrate allowed to leave RO or UF membranes,
Reject % = reject flowrate/ feed flowrate x 100% = (feed flowrate - permeate flowrate)/feed flowrate x 100%
By controlling the reject valve, the pressure difference can be controlled to prevent damage to RO/UF membranes.

Hi
Anyone tried or have some reference on how to create Docker Container from Simulink ?
Thanks in Advance.
MATLAB reference on creating Docker Container from MATLAB function :
I have a simulation on MATLAB Simulink. I run the simulation and I can view the results on scopes. I can save the results from scopes as MATLAB figures, etc. I can also save the workspace (full or partial).
What I want to do is that when I close the simulation, and open it again, it should be at the point where I closed it. In other words, I want to run a simulation and save it in such a way whenever I need it, I just need to open that file without the need to run it again. In this way, I do not have to save all the results of the scopes one by one. This will speed up my work. It will also help me to save my hard disk space. Moreover, I will not have to spend time to decide which result is important and which is not. I can just open a pre-run simulation and view my required results.
Hello,
I am doing a Matlab/simulink simulation based on microgrid control using model predictive control. In my simulation, I have a 3-phase grid with PV and battery storage. The main goal is to control the system using MPC at a very precision level. Initially, I am feeding frequency at PCC as a variable to the MPC. Whenever I run the simulation, the error has occurred since the 3-phase grid has constant parameters. In that case, how can I resolve this? Or, if anyone has any simulink file for MPC in MG can share. I will really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi,
I have been trying to do some simulations on Simulink on a 3s2p PV configuration, without using bypass diodes and keeping different shading levels.
I keep 5 modules at 1000 W/m2, and vary irradiance on one module from 1000 and lower. I'm able to simulate till 944 W/m2 but below this level, I get singularity issues that I'm not able to solve. The error i get is as below:
Derivative of state '1' in block 'solarmodulesShadingAalysisInternally/PV Array1/Diode Rsh/Transfer Fcn' at time 0.0 is not finite. The simulation will be stopped. There may be a singularity in the solution. If not, try reducing the step size (either by reducing the fixed step size or by tightening the error tolerances)
My question is: is it to simulate PV array without bypass diode? or if it is possible what could e the reason that i get this error.
