Analog.Basic.VariableConductor

Ideal linear electrical conductor with variable conductance.

The conductance value G is provided as an external input signal. An optional linear temperature coefficient alpha adjusts the actual conductance based on the heat port temperature:

$$G_{actual}=\frac{G}{1+\alpha \cdot (T_{heatPort}-T_{ref})}$$

The electrical behavior follows Ohm's law in conductance form:

$$i=G_{actual}\cdot v$$

Power dissipated in the conductor is transferred as heat through the thermal port heat_port.

Corresponds to Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Basic.VariableConductor.

This component extends from ElectricalComponents.Analog.Interfaces.OnePort

An optional linear temperature coefficient `alpha` adjusts the
actual conductance based on the heat port temperature:
