Importing data for a Simulink example in MATLAB

Hello,

When I type 'power_microgrid' in the MATLAB command window and press enter, I access a Simulink example for a microgrid. Now, I want to know how I can add a dataset of energy consumption by a consumer and a dataset of energy generation by a solar panel to this example so that the simulation can be performed with my data.

Hi @SNM Nima,

The above example is using a "PreLoadFcn" model callback as shown below:

load('solar_load_data_24h.mat')

The above MAT file contains four 1441x1 column vectors namely "HPD_1min", "HPT_1min", "SPD_1min", "SPT_1min" which are feeded into the model as input data.

You can see the above data being inputted into the model in the "power_microgrid>Scenario" subsystem as shown below:

In order to use your data instead of the example data, you can replace the column vectors that are loaded into the workspace in the example by your data.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your assistance. I would like to confirm that the data labeled "HPD_1min", "HPT_1min", "SPD_1min", and "SPT_1min" represent the active and reactive power generated by solar panels and the active and reactive power consumed by loads, respectively, at a one-minute resolution. However, my data is collected at hourly intervals. Would it be feasible to input hourly data for a 24-hour period, specifically the active power, with dimensions of (24x1)? Additionally, I aim to exclude two of the loads from the simulation. Could you please provide guidance on how to accomplish these tasks?
