Using clock for modelling a charge of batteries

Hi everybody, I'm here to ask you if anyone of you has needed to work with a control by time?, because I'm thinking in control the charge and discharge from a system of batteries and I'd like to set 6 hours to charge it and after that time proceed to feed up a load with all energy storage in my batteries bank, but for do it well I need to put in my modelling developed at Simulink/SimPowerSystem blocks a CLOCK, but I haven't found a block that could make me that kind of synchronization in my subsystem. I hope you can help me with this. Thanks in advance!...

Do you mean simulation time? If yes, there's a clock block in Simulink. https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/clock.html

You can include time in your control system using the Clock block. You could save the start time of the charge using an enabled subsystem and just subtract that off of the current time to get the elapsed time.
