Description

This is a model of a resistor with a temperature coefficient. The resistance and voltage equation can be written as:

R = R_ref*(1 + alpha*(p_th.T - T_ref));

p_el.u = p_el.i * R;

where R_ref is the reference resistance at reference temperature T_ref and alpha the temperature coefficient of resistance. The actual temperature of the resistor is given by the pseudothermal port of the model , p_el.T. The heat generated by the resistor is equal to

p_th.dQ = p_el.u * p_el.i;

The electrical port p of the resistor model has separate high and low terminals. The equations are:

p_el.i = p_high_el.i = p_low_el.i;

p_el.u = p_el_high.u - p_el_low.u;
