Building a 14-Node Distribution Network Model

Resource Overview

Using MATLAB's Simulink to construct a 14-node distribution network model with implementation insights for power system simulation and analysis.

Detailed Documentation

By utilizing MATLAB's Simulink tool, a 14-node distribution network model can be constructed. This model enables simulation and analysis of power system operations, including parameters such as current flow and voltage levels between nodes. Through Simulink's graphical programming environment, users can implement power flow algorithms, configure transformer tap settings, and model distributed generation integration using pre-built electrical component libraries. This approach facilitates better understanding and optimization of distribution network performance to enhance efficiency and reliability. Key functions like Powergui for phasor simulation and Electrical Source blocks for grid representation are essential components in this implementation.
