Simscape Electrical connect to Simscape Specialized power system?

Hello,

These are two separate models. The first is the example Simulink Ship Power System, and the second is my own pulsed power load model.

I understand the SPS is made up of blocks mainly from the Simscape Electrical Library, and my model is made up of blocks mainly from the Specialized Systems Library.

I am trying to integrate my model into the SPS, but of course the compatability isn't right between the two domains.

Does anyone know a way to convert the signal so that I can connect my model into the SPS? Preferably without having to remake / rebuild anything.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Danny

I believe you want to convert the physical connection of electrical wire to a simulink signal.

Simscape Electrical is designed to simulate physical systems which require sensors to interface with Simulink's signal based environment. The electrical wire connections cannot be directly converted to Simulink signal using "PS-S Converter" block in Simulink.

To integrate Simscape Electrical to Simulink environment, you can utilize Voltage or Current Sensor blocks and pass the output of these blocks through "PS-S Converter" block for use within Simulink. Similarly, you can also use "Simulink-PS Converter" to convert any Simulink signal to physical signal and use it as input to different physical source blocks in Simscape.

For more details on "PS-Simulink Converter" block and "Simulink-PS Converter", please refer to the following documentation link:
