Modeling Components

This section lists the modeling components (power system, circuit, thermal management system, and others) included in the library.

• AeroCable

  • The AeroCable class uses lookup table data based on real world cable metrics (resistance, inductance, and mass per unit length as well as ampacity), as a function of wire gauge.

• BasicLoad

  • The BasicLoad class serves as a basic, constant impedance power load.

• Breaker

  • The Breaker class represents the performance (losses) of a circuit breaker.

• Cable

  • The Cable is a cable model that does not include cable sizing logic.

• Capacitor

  • The Capacitor model represents a capacitor with a fixed capacitance.

• ConstantPowerLoad

  • The ConstantPowerLoad represents the performance of a generic constant power load (CPL).

• DC_DC_Converter

  • The DC_DC_Converter represents the performance of a generic DC-to-DC converter.

• Generator

  • The Generator represents the performance of a generic 3-phase generator.

• Inductor

  • The Inductor model represents a inductor with a fixed inductance.

• Inverter

  • The Inverter represents the performance of a generic DC-to-AC converter.

• Motor

  • The Motor represents the performance of a generic electric motor.

• Rectifier

  • The Rectifier represents the performance of a generic AC-to-DC converter.

• Resistor

  • The Resistor model represents a resistor with a fixed resistance.

• Source

  • The Source serves as a voltage source with constant impedance.

• ThermalDuct

  • The ThermalDuct element performs a simple adiabatic pressure loss calculation.

• ThermalHeatExchanger

  • The ThermalHeatExchanger models thermal energy transfer between two parallel streams using either an effectiveness or heat flow.

• ThermalLoad

  • TODO

• ThermalTank

  • The ThermalTank element estimates the performance of a simple tank.
