Renewable energy systems, such as wind and solar farms, are evolving rapidly and contributing to a larger share of total electricity generation. Variable electricity supply from renewable energy systems and the need for balancing generation and demand introduce complexity in the design and testing of renewable energy and storage systems.
Engineers use MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape to model renewable energy system architectures, perform grid-scale integration studies, and develop controls for renewable energy and energy storage systems.
Simulink and Simscape Electrical provide a library of prebuilt, parametrized electrical component and electrical system models for you to rapidly develop renewable energy system architectures. You can:
“Accurate modeling is essential not only for planning investments but also to detect situations that can cause an outage. With MathWorks tools, we can simulate power electronics, mechanics, and control systems in one environment, and our models respond like the turbines we have in the field.”
With Simscape Electrical, you can integrate renewable energy system models with a grid models to test your power management strategies against the grid and ensure compliance with different grid codes. You can:
Simulink and Simscape let you design control strategies for voltage and current regulation, frequency stabilization, and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and test controls for renewable energy systems and their storage systems.
“With Model-Based Design, we can prototype and test an early version of our algorithm much faster than is possible with traditional methods. In a matter of hours, we can create a fully-functional prototype that would take several days without Simulink and code generation.”
