Hawaii Natural Energy Institute Seminar Series

INTRODUCTION TO MODELICA FOR PHYSICAL SYSTEM SIMULATION by Kevin Davies, Assistant Specialist, Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, SOEST.

This presentation will introduce the Modelica Language as used in the Dymola Modeling Laboratory and demonstrate its capabilities through an example of a fuel cell model. Modelica is one of many modeling tools, including the ubiquitous Matlab/Simulink tools. However, Modelica takes a fundamentally unique approach to the representation of physical systems. Models are easier to formulate mathematically, more reusable, and more robust. Modelica is gaining recognition for the simulation of multi-domain systems (electrical, mechanical, electrochemical, thermodynamic, etc.) within the automotive and power industries, among others, as well as research institutions. In our fuel cell systems Hardware-in-the-Loop work at HNEI, Modelica is enabling us to create more physically representative models without the algebraic loops encountered in Simulink.
