In this exercise you will connect your FSA files with the continuous dynamics.

Step 1: Download the simulator files using the link below and unzip them into a common folder.

  1. Simulator-final.zip

Step 2: Supplement the simulator files with your FSA files. The simulator is missing the following FSA files that you will have to provide:

  1. T_6sup - the tap changer supervisor automata
  2. T_switch - the tap changer automata
  3. T_sensor - the voltage sensor automata
  4. T_timer - the tap changer timer automata

Step 3: In the unzipped simulator folder, open up the Matlab function getNetworkPars and add the appropriate extensions to the FSA file names (eg, change T_sensor to T_sensor.txt). Do not change the capacitor FSA names.

Step 4: Test to make sure that the hybrid simulator works correctly.

  1. Define the parameter perturbation vector: Dat = [0.0488; 2.4399; 3.3427];
  2. Define the simulation time tF = 5;
  3. Execute a run of the simulator. At the command prompt enter [t,x,d,te,z,e] = NetworkSimRun(tF,Dat);
  4. Note that every time you call the function a series of plots is also generated. You may want to comment this out later. For now, check to maker sure your plots agree with the reference plot below.
