A Modelling/Simulation Toolbox for Application to IFEP Naval Vessels

摘要

A programme of work has been undertaken by MoD and The MathWorks Ltd, to develop a library of components suitable for modeling Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) power systems within the MATLAB/Simulink/Power System Blockset (PSB) environment. This paper presents an overview of the contents of the component library, and the applications to which it can be put, exploring some of the practical difficulties involved and wider issues of proprietary information, validation and application. The paper also considers how the capability provided by the IFEP component library can be exploited in a more efficient manner by adopting an enterprise-wide approach to the use of model-based design.
