Differences between Simscape and SimPowerSystem
Zlatan
I wanted to understand what are the reasons why it has gone from SimPowerSystem to electrical domain Simscape.
- What are the differences and problems between Simscape and SimPowerSystem?
- I am knowing Simscape , but I do not know SimPowerSystem; what issues did it?
Thank's a lot.

I am not sure I understand your question. Simscape is a relatively new product (it was first released in R2007a), which uses new technology. SimPowerSystems is constructed on top of Simulink and does not use the same technology as Simscape. Both have blocks in the electrical domain, but because of the different technologies in both products, you can't connect a Simscape block directly to a SimPowerSystems block. There are various posts on this newsgroup that discuss this, so search the newsgroup if you want more info on how connect blocks together from the two environments.

I do not care how to connect two different blocks, but what are different even if they represent the same domain. In a nutshell how would you explain this?
Thank's a lot.

Simscape includes blocks from the electrical domain, as well as other physical domains (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, etc...). SimPowerSystems only works in the electrical domain. The mechanical characteristics in SimPowerSystems tend to be represented by Simulink inputs (e.g. rotational speed or mechanical power input into an electrical machine). More importantly, SimPowerSystems is designed and optimized for three-phase systems, whereas Simscape (and SimElectronics) components are single-phase only. Having said that, it is possible to model three-phase system in Simscape and SimElectronics, but you would need to do this by hand. Similarly, SimPowerSystems has some single-phase components as well. You do get some overlap between SimPowerSystems and Simscape/SimElectronics for basic components, such as resistor, capacitor, inductor, etc... SimPowerSystems is really aimed at
power generation, power distribution and power transmission, looking at things like power quality, etc... Simscape and SimElectronics are more designed for modelling electro-mechanical systems, analog electronics, semi-conductors, etc...
