Real-time (RT) modeling is a recognized approach to monitor advanced systems and to improve control capabilities. Applications of RT models are commonly used in the automotive and aerospace fields. Starting from existing components and models developed in TRANSEO[REF], a new approach, called the multipurpose RT approach, is developed for the solid oxide fuel cell hybrid system application. Original C-based models have been reprogrammed into embedded MATLAB functions for direct use within MATLAB-SIMULINK. Also, models in TRANSEO have been simplified to improve execution time. Using MATLAB’s Real-Time Workshop application, the system model is able to be translated into an autogenerated C-code, and run as an application specific RT executable.
