Libraries:
Simscape / Battery / Passive

Description

This block models a dynamic frequency-dependent impedance using a state-space representation. These equations define the state-space representation:

$$\begin{array}{c}\frac{dx}{dt}=Ax+Bu\\ y=Cx+Du\end{array}$$

where:

• x is the dimensionless state vector.

• u is the input vector.

• y is the output vector.

• A is the state matrix.

• B is the input matrix.

• C is the output matrix.

• D is the feedthrough or direct transmission matrix.

For custom linear time-invariant impedance responses, configure arbitrary state-space parameters (A, B, C, D).

Note

The heat generation output is derived from the output voltage and the modeled impedance. For complex or frequency-dependent impedance models, this might not accurately represent all loss mechanisms present in real impedance, and it might differ from the actual physical behavior.
