Measuring DC voltage, current and power mean values witin AC/DC system

Measuring DC voltage, current and power mean values witin AC/DC system

Measuring DC voltage, current and power mean values witin AC/DC system

(OP)
I need to accurately measure DC voltage, current and power mean values within an AC/DC system. The powergui gives me rms values at 60 HZ which are fine for the AC part, but gives zeros for DC variables. I need both sets for I'm at this stage computing power transfer from AC generator to DC load.
Any suggestions, please?    

RE: Measuring DC voltage, current and power mean values witin AC/DC system

(OP)
No. I teach Electrical Power Systems. I have programming background with Matlab (load flow), but my experience with Simulink, especially HVDC systems, is limited and there isn't much help available around the net, and you know Simulink is not all that user friendly.

RE: Measuring DC voltage, current and power mean values witin AC/DC system


Your model is wrong:

1.)     You should use Thyristor bridges instead of IGBT bridges when you using a pulse 12 pulse generator. (GenPulsos1)
2.)    Use the "MedicionR" block is only for AC power.
3.)    Use a "mean value" block to smooth the DC Current and voltage before  the DC power calculation.

Thank you so much. I already switched back to thyristors (that's what I began with but didn't work either) and will look into the "mean value" block. I think there is also a problem with the pulse generator.
