StateSpace

Discrete State Space block

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

The discrete state space block defines the relation between the input u and the output y in state space form:

x = A * pre(x) + B * u
y = C * pre(x) + D * u

where pre(x) is the value of the discrete state x at the previous sample time instant. The input is a vector of length nu, the output is a vector of length ny and nx is the number of states. Accordingly

A has the dimension: A(nx,nx),
B has the dimension: B(nx,nu),
C has the dimension: C(ny,nx),
D has the dimension: D(ny,nu)

Example:

parameter: A = [0.12, 2;3, 1.5]
parameter: B = [2, 7;3, 1]
parameter: C = [0.1, 2]
parameter: D = zeros(ny,nu)

results in the following equations:
  [x[1]]   [0.12  2.00] [pre(x[1])]   [2.0  7.0] [u[1]]
  [    ] = [          ]*[         ] + [        ]*[    ]
  [x[2]]   [3.00  1.50] [pre(x[2])]   [0.1  2.0] [u[2]]
                             [pre(x[1])]            [u[1]]
       y[1]   = [0.1  2.0] * [         ] + [0  0] * [    ]
                             [pre(x[2])]            [u[2]]
