Discrete variable inductor
Simscape / Electrical / Specialized Power Systems / Fundamental Blocks / Elements
The Variable Inductor block represents a linear time-varying inductor. It implements a discrete variable inductor as a current source. The impedance is specified by the Simulink input signal. The inductance value can be negative.
When you use a Variable Inductor block in your model, set the powergui block
Simulation type to Discrete
. The
robust discrete solver is used to discretize the electrical model.
The block uses the following equations for the relationship between the voltage, v, across the device and the current through the inductor, i. The block input specifies the value of the inductance. The flux linkage of the inductor is equal to the specified inductance multiplied by the inductor current:
