Varying Current and plotting output power in Simulink

Hi, I'm trying to vary a current source, and plot it against the output power of my system, such that I can find the current which produces the greatest output power, but I'm having trouble trying to set this up. I tried linking a controlled current source with an array up, but that didn't work. I've added a picture for reference.

Hi,

Instead of varying current source, I suggest using a variable resistor, assign range of values to it and observe the waveform of output power. Since variable resistor will serve the same purpose as varying a current source, this approach might help you obtain maximum output power for a given resistance. Later with the formula available you can calculate the current.

Refer to following documentation link:

Hope this helps !
