MathWorks provides resources that help Simscape Electrical™ users convert models developed using Specialized Power Systems (SPS) technology to models based on Simscape native technology.
Simscape Electrical (formerly SimPowerSystems™) is modeling software for simulating power electronics and power systems and is developed and owned by MathWorks.
Specialized Power Systems technology is licensed from Hydro-Quebec. Starting with software Release 2026a, MathWorks is removing libraries based on Specialized Power Systems technology from Simscape Electrical.
Simscape native technology provides a substantially improved platform for overall modeling and simulation, providing better accuracy, flexibility, usability, and performance. Capabilities include:
- Run-time parameter tuning to support rapid simulation iteration when changing model parameters.
- Enhanced solver options that provide performance at scale for linear and switched-linear systems for both desktop and real-time simulation.
- Optimized equation construction for increased numerical robustness.
- Single-line representation of three-phase systems for faster model construction and improved model layout.
- Multiple levels of model fidelity, such as switched-linear and non-linear semiconductor switches to match model accuracy with engineering need.
- Full integration with other MathWorks software, including,
- Simulink Control Design for control system development.
- Coder products for C and HDL code generation for HIL testing.
- Simulink Fault Analyzer for non-intrusive fault modeling, and systematic fault injection.
