“Control System Toolbox becomes more powerful and easier to use in R2016a,” says Paul Barnard, director – design automation, MathWorks.

For signal processing algorithm developers, MATLAB from The MathWorks is an essential tool. Its vector semantics and powerful visualization capabilities are a necessity for algorithm development.

MathWorks announced that BuildingIQ is using the data analytics capabilities in its MATLAB tool to speed the development and deployment of predictive algorithms for HVAC energy optimization.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have patented a grid-forming inverter algorithm that stabilizes frequency while protecting devices from damage by independently controlling frequency, voltage, and current.

While both are capable of modelling and simulating a control algorithm, each of them is highly suitable for certain tasks and applications.
