Electrical Block Libraries

Electronic, mechatronic, and electrical power system blocks compatible with other Simscape™ blocks

Simscape Electrical™ libraries include blocks and models of semiconductors, motors, and components for applications such as electromechanical actuation, smart grids, and renewable energy systems. You can use these component libraries for modeling and simulating electronic, mechatronic, and electrical power systems. You can also use these blocks and related functions to evaluate analog circuit architectures, develop mechatronic systems with electric drives, and analyze the generation, conversion, transmission, and consumption of electrical power at the grid level.

Featured Examples

Use of Peltier Device as Thermoelectric Cooler

A Peltier device working in cooling mode with a hot side temperature of 50 degC. In cooling mode, the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the Peltier cell is equal to the total heat transferred through the Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) divided by the electric input power, COP = Qc/Pin.

Open Model

Linear LED Driver

A LED driver based on a linear current regulator. The scope shows the light and current output and the supply voltage. The output comes into regulation for a supply voltage greater than about 12V.

Open Model

MOSFET Fault in Buck Converter

How a fault may be applied to a MOSFET in a power converter in order to explore the operation of protection circuitry. After the MOSFET becomes faulted, the crowbar circuitry is activated in order to clamp the output voltage across the load and eventually to cause the fuse to blow.

Open Model

Frequency-Dependent Transmission Line

A custom frequency-dependent transmission line model. The characteristic admittance and propagation function are first derived from the frequency-dependent resistance, reactance, and susceptance. The derived values are fitted using RF Toolbox. The Universal Line Model (ULM) [1] is then implemented in Simscape based on the fitted parameters. The results from the frequency-dependent transmission line model and the classic pi-section transmission line model are compared.
