Dr. B. Umamaheswari gives a presentation on using MATLAB and SIMULINK software tools to teach concepts in electrical machines, drives, and control. She discusses 5 topics - electro-magnetics, electro-mechanics, DC machines, induction machines, and references. For each topic, she presents the relevant theory, MATLAB models, codes, and simulations that can help explain the concepts and characterize machine performance under different operating conditions. The goal is to provide students a better understanding and hands-on learning experience with electrical engineering domains.

3. Organizing
The theory of electrical machines is best explained with
analytical models and equivalent circuits. Hence
with the help of software tools these concepts can be
best explained.
Let us start with the following questions
 Why do we need tools like MATLAB?
 How, where and when do we these tools?
 To what level do we use these tools?
3
Dr. B. Umamaheswari, Anna University

4. Use of software tools
like MATLAB & SIMULINK
 Best used when the theory requires support of
analytical expressions i.e. in the form of mathematical
equations
 The equations could be
 static or dynamic
 Linear or non-linear
 Descriptive or symbolic
 Deterministic or stochastic

5. Benefits of using software tools
 To have better understanding of the operating
principles
 To visualise the characteristics under various
operating conditions
 To experiment on favourable and non-favourable
conditions
 To design and test the machines for achieving
improved performance
 To create a working platform for pre-determining the
characteristics

MATLAB/SIMULINK
 Hardware in Loop (HIL) simulation for real time
testing of the controller –RTW and DAQ
 Power Hardware in Loop Simulation (PHIL) for real
time testing of the Power Electronics and Controller -

following topics using
software tools
1. Electro-Magnetics
2. Electro-mechanics

9. 1. Electro-Magnetics
Under Electro-magnetics the following topics are to be
discussed.
 Magnetic circuit – the linear relationship
 Electrical Equivalent
 Inductance
 Rotating magnetic field
 Use software tools for teaching and research

Dr. B. Umamaheswari, Anna University

10. Magnetic circuit
 The Amphere’s Law
A current carrying coil
produces magnetic field
whose intensity is decided
by the permeability of the
medium through which
the flux passes through.
 BH-curve describes the
permeability of a medium
 For linear assumption
Permeability is constant

Dr. B. Umamaheswari, Anna University
 Linear BH- relationship
 Air gap reluctance is Rg
 Core Reluctance is Rl << Rg
 Using voltage division rule, the greater Reluctance
part gets the greater MMF sahre
 Hence upon the supplied MMF ‘Ni” most of the
MMF is dropped or available across the air-gap
 Program1 describes the flux variation (equation 1)
as a function of airgap length.

13. Non-Linear case

Dr. B. Umamaheswari, Anna University
 Non-linear BH relationship
 Core reluctance is a function of flux
 Use equation (3) to get Hl for various values of Bg.
 Superimpose the obtained Hl vs Bg characteristics on
the BH curve to get Hl and Bg of the given circuit.
 Use Program2 to see the results.

14. Inductance
 Self Inductance of a coil
describes how much of the flux
links the coil produced by its
own current
 Mutual inductance of a coil
describes how much of the flux
links the coil produced by
current in the other coils.
 Inductance in a salient pole

opposite directions Square -MMF waveshape can
be produced.
 Using appropriate Fourier relationship the square
wave can be resolved into fundamental and its
harmonic components .

be produced by Two, Three
or more phases equally

of a circular path

17. Electro-mechanics
 A coil (Armature) placed in the airgap subjected to
time-varying magnetic field experiences an induced
voltage { Faraday’s Law}
 It circulates current to oppose its cause (Lenz aw)
 Interaction of magnetic flux with armature current
produces mechanical force
 Direction of force is given by Fleming’s Left Hand
Rule.
 This is the principle of motoring
