Experiments are performed using a variety of models in Matlab/Simulink.
Lab 1: Introduction to Simulink with an RL circuit (Problem 1.2) Simulink tutorial using Lab 1 (intro1.mp4) (intro2.mp4) (intro3.mp4) Lab 2: Wind power generation (Problems 1.3 and 1.4) Lab 3: DC generator (Problem 2.4) Lab 4: Self-excited DC generator (Problem 2.6) Lab 5: Single-phase AC power (Problem 3.1) Lab 6: Permanent-magnet synchronous generator (Problem 4.3) Lab 7: Squirrel-cage induction generator (Problem 5.4) Lab 8: Self-excited induction generator (Problem 5.5) Lab 9: Wound-field synchronous generator (Problem 6.4) Lab 10: Control of three-phase inverter (Problem 7.1) Lab 11: Doubly-fed induction generator (Problem 8.1) Lab 12: Dynamics of a wound-field synchronous generator (Problems 9.1 and 9.2)
Recommendations for the preparation of reports can be found at: http://www.ece.utah.edu/~bodson/reports.pdf Example of a Matlab macro to plot a figure with adjustable font sizes and lines widths: http://www.ece.utah.edu/~bodson/plot_sine.m Note that properties of an existing figure can also be adjusted by clicking on File/Preferences/Figure Copy Template and Apply to Figure.
Simulation models
Blank simulation model: blank.mdl Collection of Simulink blocks to simulate electric generators: generator_blocks.mdl Wind turbine simulation: wind_turbine.mdl. Wind data file: wind.mat
Right-click on the file name and use "Save as" or "Save link as" to save the mdl and mat files.
Note:
the models used for the software labs are designed to illustrate the properties
discussed in the book and are not meant to represent accurately
industrial systems.
