Power System Blockset
1
What is Power System Blockset?
PSB is a modern design tool allowing the
dynamic simulation of electric circuits and
power systems.
It operates in the Simulink environment.
The model in PSB follows the rules of electric
circuits: 2 elements in series means same
current, 2 elements in parallel means same
voltage.
Interfacing with Simulink models needs
converting blocks.
2
Capabilities of PSB
It simulates DC, AC and 3-phase
circuits (transient and steady state).
It simulates power systems having
different complexities (from radial to
multi-machine system).
It simulates the following elements:
synchronous machines (various
models), transformers, transmission
lines, loads, breakers, buses, ..

How to Simulate a PSB System
Phase I: Create a model of the system to
be simulated using PSB and Simulinks
model editor, blocks library and click and
drag mouse operations.
Phase II: Use Simulinks ODE solvers to
simulate the behavior of the system for a
specified time span.
4
Phase I: Creating a model
To open PSB library enter powerlib at the
MATLAB toolbar.
Open a new model from file then new
then model.
To introduce blocks in your model, choose
the block from the library, click on it and
drag it in your model.
Interconnect the output of a block to the
input of the required block by a line using
mouse.
Double-click each block to set its parameters.

PSB block libraries
The Electrical Sources library contains

blocks that generate electric signals.
The Elements library contains linear and
nonlinear network elements.

Interfacing PSB with Simulink
Voltage measurement block converts
the measured voltage into Simulink
signal.
