Accurate evaluation of vehicles' transient total power requirement helps achieving further improvements in vehicle fuel efficiency. When operated, the air-conditioning (A/C) system is the largest auxiliary load on a vehicle, therefore accurate evaluation of the load it places on the vehicle's engine and/or energy storage system is especially important. Vehicle simulation models, such as “Autono...

The use of Matlab, a tool for mathematical programming, is actually increasing in a large number of fields. Together with its dynamic simulation toolbox Simulink, originally developed for control and automation applications, it has become a powerful tool that is suitable for a large number of applications. In the field of building and HVAC, the number of users of Matlab/Simulink has also been i...

Für die Erstellung von cyberphysikalischen Systemen ist die modellbasierte Entwicklung ein Standardwerkzeug, da es die Erstellung komplexer Systeme vereinfacht und übersichtlich ermöglicht. Durch die Simulation lassen sich Verifikationen bereits in sehr frühen Entwicklungsstadien durchführen. Eines der am häufigsten eingesetzten Werkzeuge in diesem Bereich ist MATLAB/Simulink. In Simulink könne...

This chapter’s main goal is to show how MatLab can be very useful when applied in the model-based design of dynamic systems, especially in the domain of power electronics systems. Two cases will be described that are encountered in energy conversion: i) a slip energy recovery (SER) system and ii) a power electronic converter for a fuel cell (FC) based energy generation system. In both cases, th...

We discuss aspects of development of a low-cost realtime mobile-robot platform – ArEduBot for educational experiments. Our framework leverages ease-ofprogramming in block-diagrammatic form within the MATLAB/Simulink environment, together with several special-blocks developed within our Arduino-Simulink Toolbox 1 . The executable, compiled using the Real-Time-Workshop toolchain, can be downloade...

Power transformer is one of the most important equipment in a power transmission and distribution system. This paper presents a technology to simulate differential relay in Matlab Simulink based environment for determining its behavior during various operating conditions. The results show that this simulation method can work properly and this will allow rapid modeling and testing of new algorit...

The paper presents a new online tool that enables to build a Matlab/Simulink block scheme in the Internet environment. The block scheme can be designed in similar manner as it is offered by local installation of Matlab. The application was created by widely used technologies as XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP together with AJAX approach. The created application can be used as a supporting tool in v...

In der modellbasierten Entwicklung eingebetteter Software, insbesondere im Automobilbereich, wird Matlab/Simulink verbreitet eingesetzt. Im Rahmen der Modellerstellung, -wartung und -pflege häufig benötigte Änderungen an den Modellen, wie die Restrukturierung der Modellstruktur und Generierung von Modellkonstrukten, werden überlicherweise manuell, mit den vorhandenen Modellierungsmitteln des Si...

This paper studies on the mechantronic system of parallel robot by using interface technique between ADAMS and MATLAB software. MATLAB/Simulink is used to model the control concepts which drive the dynamics of the system based on sensor feedback, while ADAMS is used to model the mechanical parts of the system that are influenced by the geometric layout and by external loads and forces. The simu...

Biological systems are often very complex so that an appropriate formalism is needed for modeling their behavior. Hybrid Petri nets, consisting of timediscrete as well as continuous Petri net elements, have proven to be ideal. This formalism was implemented based on the Modelica language. Several Petri net components are structured within an advanced Petri net library. A special sub-library con...
