Taking a Simulink Model Over to PSCAD

Hey guys,

For the last few weeks, I've been trying to figure out a way to take a model in Simulink, and just try to take it over to PSCAD. Ideally, the model being translated over to PSCAD.

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I have been working with the Code Generator and have managed to generate a Dynamic Link Library. I was wondering if anyone else has worked on something similar and/or had any ideas that could put me in the right direction for achieving this?

Thanks a lot.

Hi RemilBed,

PSCAD and MATLAB supports a co-simulation environment that you can utilize to import your Simulink model to PSCAD environment.

You can follow the below mentioned steps to setup the co-simulation environment:

1. To setup the PSCAD/MATLAB co-simulation environment, Intel(R) Fortan compiler and Microsoft VS Code software are required.
2. Test your Intel Fortan compiler setup. This can be done by launching PSCAD and selecting the FORTAN compiler. Next, load a case into PSCAD and run it. Successful run indicates that the compiler is working fine.
3. Test your PSCAD-MATLAB Co-simulation, select your MATLAB version and try running a simple MATLAB example.
4. If the example runs successfully, you are ready to use the co-simulation environment.

For more workarounds, you can refer to the following MATLAB Answers post:

I hope this helps.
