Modeling a Hybrid Microgrid in Simscape Electrical™

Getting Started

Instructions on using the content are contained within Modeling_a_Hybrid_Microgrid.mlx and Microgrid_Energy_Management.mlx.

The Hybrid Microgrid

The system we are working towards is a hybrid AC/DC microgrid containing traditional rotating machinery, a battery, two fuel cells and a PV array. There is a simple management system that controls the transfer of power between the DC and AC sides.

Aim of Content

To learn Simscape Electrical essentials.
To build confidence in the development and test of interconnected AC and DC system simulation models by incremental creation, test and integration of components covering a range of fidelity levels.
To provide a platform upon which more detailed system simulations can be created.
To consider modeling fidelity and how it maps to technology development.
