Simscape - how to set outputs from measurement blocks as complex values

Hello,

Attached is my simple Simulink (Simscape) model. My question would be: is it possible to get output values from the "Three-Phase V-I Measurement" block as complex numbers? I have set up all the parameters as I thought they should be, but as you can see I still get real values for that block output (Vabc). Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hello Vanja,

these models do not output complex values, they output the instantaneous actual value at a given time. All three phase's instintaneous values are available, so youc an calculate the complex representation, but the signals should still be maintained as real-scalars inside the simulink model if you want to manipulate them. You can use blocks like this if you want to use complex numbers in simulink: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/realimagtocomplex.html,
