INSEL — A Simulation System for Renewable Electrical Energy Supply Systems

  • Conference paper
Tenth E.C. Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference

Abstract

We report upon the block diagram oriented simulation system INSEL for the interactive simulation of renewable electrical energy supply systems. Blocks defined by input/output relations and parameters are interconnected to form a model of the system under investigation. Writing an INSEL simulation program means to transform a grafical block diagram into the simulation language. A macro concept allows for different levels of complexity of block structures.
