6.1. Introduction

6.1. Introduction

Power System Blockset (PSB), now known as Simscape Electrical (formerly SimPowerSystems), is a SIMULINK extension specifically designed for modeling and simulating electrical and electronic systems. It provides a wide range of blocks that can be used to represent electrical components, machines, distribution networks, and associated control systems. This chapter will allow you to explore the key features of Simscape Electrical and apply them to a case study, improving your ability to model and analyze complex electrical systems.
