Description

This block implements an ideal discharger. When the signal at the input port, t, changes from a value below 0.5 to a value equal to or greater than 0.5, the block performs constant current discharging at the value of the Constant discharging current parameter until the voltage is less than or equal to the value of the Voltage threshold parameter.

This figure shows the behavior of the Discharger block when the t input crosses 0.5:

Ports

Input

t — Trigger, unitless

physical signal

Physical signal input port that controls the discharging behavior of the block.

Conserving

+ — Positive terminal

electrical

Electrical conserving port associated with the positive terminal of the discharger.

- — Negative terminal

electrical

Electrical conserving port associated with the negative terminal of the discharger.

Parameters

Constant discharging current — Constant discharging current

5 A (default) | positive scalar

Value of the constant discharging current at which the block discharges a battery.

Voltage threshold — Voltage threshold for constant discharging current

10 V (default) | positive scalar

Threshold at which the block stops performing constant current discharging on the battery.
