This auxiliary interface model enables modelers to divide physical models with electric circuits at AC level in a single-phase configuration into several parts and to freely cut individual electric branches. It often works in combination with the DefineCurrentAC1 model.

The ExtractCurrentAC1 covers the following applications:

  • Basic: During debugging, test simulations should show if parts of an electric circuit work properly, e.g. CHP with connected Grid but without a suitable power consumer. It therefore provides to add generic input data without closed-loop dependencies to other model components.

  • Advanced: Users want to integrate measured voltages depending on simulated currents and phase angles in an electric circuit as input data set to a complex model - Hybrid Digital Twin. It provides an output interface for result evaluation and separated feedback loops.

To use this model, it is not necessary to connect any further model components to the real output ▶ Veff depending on ▶ Ieff and ▶ Phi. In opposite to DC system models (e.g. ExtractDC), these variables do not describe transient values but characteristic (effective - eff) system values. The phaseAngle ▶ Phi describes the phase displacement between the voltage and current sine wave. Furthermore, it is not necessary to connect any further model components to the real outputs ▶ Ieff and ▶ Phi. However, it is still possible for debugging or evaluation purposes or as additional input of controls.
