Posted1 hour ago
I am preparing my master’s thesis and need a Simulink model that represents the high-power grid of a fictional tactical platform. The grid must include three independent sources—diesel generators, a solar array with its converter, and a battery bank tied through a bidirectional inverter—and coordinate them through a common bus. I want the model to sit at a moderate level of detail: component blocks should carry realistic electrical ratings, efficiency figures, and dynamic response times, but we do not have to dive down to semiconductor-switch level. A few sample numbers (rated kW, battery capacity, panel size, fuel consumption curves, etc.) can be invented so long as they stay in the realm of current military hardware.
Primary goal
The finished simulation will serve as a demonstrator in my thesis, letting me explore load-sharing strategies, contingency scenarios, and transient behaviour. While I will be running most studies offline, it would be helpful if the model is structured so that, should hardware-in-the-loop or real-time execution become possible later, only minor tweaks are needed.
Key elements I expect
• A neatly organised Simulink file (R2021b or later) with subsystems for each source, a supervisory controller, and the main AC/DC distribution backbone.
• Parameter blocks or MATLAB scripts where I can quickly adjust ratings, solar profiles, fuel curves, and mission load profiles.
• Scope or dashboard visualisation of bus voltage, frequency, power flows, state of charge, and any fault flags.
• Short, clearly commented report (Word or PDF) that walks through assumptions, block choices, and how to extend the model.
Acceptance Criteria
1. Model runs end-to-end for a 24-hour mission profile without numerical instability.
2. Total power balance error < 1 % at every logged timestep.
3. Switching logic correctly prioritises solar, then batteries, then generators, falling back to gensets when solar/battery cannot support demand.
4. All parameters are editable from a single place.
If you have experience with power-electronics modelling, microgrid control, and Simulink real-time structuring, I would love to see a brief portfolio snippet or screenshot to confirm approach before we finalise.
