Description

This model represents an ideal capacitor. The element has a preferred voltage out causality. The corresponding constitutive equations then contain an integration. The element can also have the non-preferred current out causality. The constitutive equations then contain a derivation. The port p of the inductor model has separate high and low terminals. The equations are:

 

p.i = p_high.i = p_low.i;

p.u = p_high.u - p_low.u;

 

voltage out causality (preferred):

 

p.u = (1/C)*int(p.i);

 

current out causality:

 

p.i = C * ddt(p.u);

Interface

Ports

Description

p_high, p_low

Both terminals of the Electric port p.

Causality

 

preferred voltage out

A current out causality results in a derivative constitutive equation.

Parameters

 

C

capacitance [F]

Initial Values

 

p.u_initial

The initial charge of the capacitor [V].
