Hi! Could someone please provide me with an idea of how to model a selector for multiple inputs using Simulink? Thank you.

Input sources: Thermoelectric Generator(TEG), Photovoltaic(PV), and Piezoelectric(PZT)

Hey Danikha,

To model a selector for multiple inputs using Simulink, you can utilize the following blocks according to your requirements:

1. Selector block : The Selector block extracts selected elements of an input vector, matrix, or multidimensional signal based on specified indices. The extracted signals can be grouped differently than the input signals.

2. Manual Variant Source block : The Manual Variant Source block is a toggle switch that activates one of its variant choices at the input to pass through to the output.

2. Variant Source block : The Variant Source block enables you to include multiple implementations of a component on the source of a signal in a single layer.

3.Mutliport Switch block: The Multiport Switch block determines which of several inputs to the block passes to the output. The block bases this decision on the value of the first input. The first input is the control input and the remaining inputs are the data inputs. The value of the control input determines which data input passes to the output.

At the provided documentation links above, please find mentioned examples and use cases that can assist you in designing your model selector.

I hope this helps.
