SIMULATION OF ELECTRIC
MACHINE AND DRIVE SYSTEMS
USING MATLAB AND SIMULINK
In order to run this
simulation package, these steps must first be followed:
1. Press the
link MACSIM (short
for Machine Simulation) to download and save the <electricdrives.zip>
file on disk in a directory (folder) of your choosing.
2. Open this directory
and extract (unzip) from <electricdrives.zip>
the imbedded mdl- and m- files as well as others, placing
them for convenience in the same folder. To unzip or decompress this file,
you may use a program such as WinZip or Stuffit
(available on the web at http://winzip.com
and http://www.stuffit.com/);
you may also use the unzip function in MATLAB.
3. Load your MATLAB
program. Although developed (and saved) under release R13, this package is
upward compatible with the higher releases.
4. It is advisable
that your chosen directory be added to the MATLAB search path. Otherwise,
be sure that the directory is established as your current working
directory.
5. At the MATLAB
prompt, type and enter
contents to bring forth a menu-driven table of
contents.
6. Select a demo and run
it.
Once this process is
completed, you need only to follow steps 5 and 6 to run the various
simulations.
The link VIDEOS accesses a
series of video clips dealing with the motion of electric machines, space
vectors, and magnetic
field distributions. These .avi files have been
developed using Matlab/Simulink but are to be run
separately with a Video Player. For a
preview, click PREVIEW
.
The link ANIMATIONS retrieves
an identical set of pictures in motion shown now as animated web pages (html
format).
The link TOUR downloads the <tour.wav> audio file which
can then be run on any player in order to listen to a brief introduction to the
simulation package.
I look forward to
receiving your comments, suggestions, and corrections regarding this package so
that I may incorporate them in future updates. The <electricdrives.zip> file was last
