Some initial guidance with creating a microgrid model for typical mining application using simulink ?

Hi!

Need to create a microgrid model for a typical open-pit mine or stone-quarry application, (including stone crushers as distributed loads) using simulink/simscape.

Rather than completely starting from scratch, could someone help point out a good example maybe which could provide me with some inspiration in the inital stage?

Thanks!

Hello,

Here is an example to get started: https://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/sps/ug/24-hour-simulation-of-a-vehicle-to-grid-v2g-system.html

You can find more here at the example page: https://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/sps/examples.html?category=specialized-power-systems&s_tid=CRUX_topnav

and user created content can be searched here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/

Also, there is free training for Simulink if you are new to the tool: https://www.mathworks.com/learn/tutorials/simulink-onramp.html

Hi Joel,

For this example: https://se.mathworks.com/help/physmod/sps/ug/24-hour-simulation-of-a-vehicle-to-grid-v2g-system.html.

Is this model only compatible to run on R2022a ?

I'm using R2020b. Is there a workaround to run the model in R2020b ?

Thanks in advance!

[Joel Van Sickel]

this example is in 2020b. Do you have a license for simscape electrical?

if you do, typing power_V2G in the command window should open it.

Yes thank you it seems to open. But when i had tried it earlier there seemed to have been an error maybe.
