How SimPowerSystems Software Works
– Every time you start the simulation, a special initialization mechanism is
called. This initialization process computes the state-space model of your
electric circuit and builds the equivalent system that can be simulated by
Simulink software.
– This process performs the following steps:
• Sorts all SimPowerSystems blocks. The blocks are separated into linear and
nonlinear blocks, and all electrical nodes received a node number.
• Then, a state-space model (A, B, C, D matrices) of the linear part of the circuit is
computed. All steady-state calculations and initializations are performed at this
stage. Discrete state-space models are computed from the continuous state-space
model, using the Tustin method.
This matrix defines the network algebraic equations.
