Distributed parameters line model with frequency-dependent parameters

  • Simscape / Electrical / Specialized Power Systems / Fundamental Blocks

  • Distributed Parameters Line (Frequency-Dependent) block

Description

The Distributed Parameters Line (Frequency-Dependent) block implements a multiphase distributed parameter line model with high-fidelity frequency-dependent parameters. It performs accurate transient response simulations for a wide frequency range (typically from DC to 100 kHz or more).

The geometry of the line and the frequency-dependent model parameters are defined in a MAT-file that is associated with the block. The MAT-file must be edited with the Power Line Parameters app, which computes the RLC line parameters for a defined range of frequencies and applies a fitting algorithm that converts the line parameters into a rational model. Rational fitting for this model is performed by using the vector fitting (VF) procedure. For more information on the phase domain line model and the state-space analysis, see [1].

Name of a MAT-file that defines the geometry of the line and frequency-dependent model parameters. If the MAT-file is not on the MATLAB path, specify the full path name of the file.

This read-only parameter is the value of the DATA.LineLength variable saved in the specified MAT-file. This parameter is the length of the line, in km.

This read-only parameter is the value of the DATA.Phases variable saved in the specified MAT-file. This parameter is the number of phases defined for the line.

This read-only parameter is the value of the DATA.FrequencyRange variable saved in the specified MAT-file. This parameter is a detailed description of the frequency range of the internal model.

This read-only parameter displays the contents of the GUI.Comments variable saved in the specified MAT-file. This text provides complementary information about the line geometry and the type of conductors.

Select None to make no measurements.

Select Phase-to-ground voltages to measure the sending end and receiving end voltages for each phase of the line model.

Place a Multimeter block in your model to display the selected measurements during simulation.

In the Available Measurements list box of the Multimeter block, the measurement is identified by a label followed by the block name:
