How to add wireless capability to DC Electric Charging Vehicle Diagram?

Hello, I am using this DC EV Charger model as a base for research provided by Mathworks:

I want to add some wireless receiver/transciever to the diagram so I can better simulate what I want for my research. I've done some digging and found this model also provided by Mathworks: https://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/articles/wireless-transceiver-design-and-network-modeling-in-simulink.html

I want to have help on how to merge these two models together so that I can have a DC Model with wireless/IoT capability.

Hi Arnab,

To merge the DC EV Charger model with the wireless transceiver model, you can follow these general steps:

1. Open both models in Simulink.

2. Identify the key components in each model that you want to merge.

3. Determine the interface between the DC EV Charger model and the wireless transceiver model. This will involve identifying the signals that need to be exchanged between the two models.

4. Modify the DC EV Charger model to include the necessary blocks from the wireless transceiver model. This might involve adding wireless transceiver blocks, modifying existing blocks, or creating new blocks.

5. Connect the appropriate signals between the DC EV Charger model and the wireless transceiver model. This can be done using Simulink's signal routing capabilities.

6. Verify that the merged model functions as expected by simulating it and analyzing the results.

It's important to note that the specific steps required to merge the models will depend on the details of each model and the desired wireless/IoT functionality. You may need to adapt the steps outlined above to suit your specific requirements.
