This video shows you step by step how to Import Excel Data onto Matlab and use the same on Simulink in this case we are importing data on Solar irradiance,by following the above steps you can import whatever data you wish to use on Simulink.
Do refer the above video for any clarifications of any kind. If you still have any queries, post them down in the comments sections and we shall get back to you at the earliest.
This is a simple but very practical demonstration of how MATLAB and Simulink can be used for real-world data handling, especially in renewable energy applications like solar irradiance analysis.
I like how it focuses on a step-by-step workflow—importing Excel data into MATLAB and then using it in Simulink. This is an important skill because in real engineering projects, most input data (like weather, solar, or sensor data) is stored in external files rather than being manually entered.
Using solar irradiance as an example also makes the concept more relevant, especially for students working in energy systems or sustainability projects. Once the data is imported, Simulink allows you to model and simulate system behavior based on real environmental conditions, which is…
