Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Sources.SignalVoltage

Generic voltage source using the input signal as source voltage

Information

The signal voltage source is a parameterless converter of real valued signals into a the source voltage. No further effects are modeled. The real valued signal has to be provided by components of the blocks library. It can be regarded as the "Opposite" of a voltage sensor.

Connectors

Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Sources.ConstantVoltage

Information

The ConstantVoltage source is a simple source for an ideal constant voltage which is provided by a parameter. There is no internal resistance modeled. If it is used instead of a battery model it is not very realistic: This battery will never be unloaded.

Voltage source by linear interpolation in a table

This block generates a voltage source by linear interpolation in a table. The time points and voltage values are stored in a matrix table[i,j], where the first column table[:,1] contains the time points and the second column contains the voltage to be interpolated. The table interpolation has the following properties:

• The time points need to be monotonically increasing.
• Discontinuities are allowed, by providing the same time point twice in the table.
• Values outside of the table range, are computed by extrapolation through the last or first two points of the table.
• If the table has only one row, no interpolation is performed and the voltage value is just returned independently of the actual time instant, i.e., this is a constant voltage source.
• Via parameters startTime and offset the curve defined by the table can be shifted both in time and in the voltage.
• The table is implemented in a numerically sound way by generating time events at interval boundaries. This generates continuously differentiable values for the integrator.

Example:

   table = [0  0
            1  0
            1  1
            2  4
            3  9
            4 16]
If, e.g., time = 1.0, the voltage v =  0.0 (before event), 1.0 (after event)
    e.g., time = 1.5, the voltage v =  2.5,
    e.g., time = 2.0, the voltage v =  4.0,
    e.g., time = 5.0, the voltage v = 23.0 (i.e., extrapolation). 

Furthermore, an offset parameter is introduced, which is added to the value calculated by the blocks source. The startTime parameter allows to shift the blocks source behavior on the time axis.
