MATLAB/Simulink Comprehensive Electrical Engineering Simulation Suite for Professionals

Description

Welcome to the ultimate, comprehensive course on MATLAB/Simulink for Electrical Engineering. The course covers various simulations in power electronics, electrical circuits, electrical machines, power system, solar and wind energy production.

The course includes 7 sections, 14 lessons and 108 lectures, with a total duration of 27h 19m. Matlab files and course slides are included.

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the ability to model, simulate, and analyze complex electrical systems is an indispensable skill for engineers, researchers, and students alike. This meticulously designed course bridges the gap between theoretical electrical engineering concepts and practical, software-based implementation.

By the end of this journey, you will transform from a novice to a proficient simulation engineer, capable of designing, testing, and validating complex electrical systems before they are ever built in the physical world.

What You Will Learn

This course is divided into specialized modules, each targeting a core pillar of electrical engineering:

Module 1 – Advanced Power Electronics Simulations

In this foundational module, you will learn to construct and simulate various converter topologies from the ground up. We start with the simulation of 1-phase rectifiers, covering controlled, uncontrolled, half-wave (HWR), and full-wave (FWR) rectifiers, before scaling up to robust 3-phase rectifier systems.

You will then master complete simulations of AC voltage controllers for both single and three-phase systems, including the critical application of closed-loop control to regulate voltage output dynamically.

Finally, you will apply industry-standard Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques to control these inverters with high precision.

Module 2 – Dynamics of Electrical Circuits

This section delves into the transient behavior of electrical circuits. You will simulate DC transient circuits and deeply analyze R-L, R-C, and R-L-C configurations. By applying forced and free responses in Simulink, you will visualize how circuits react to sudden changes, switching events, and varying initial conditions.

Furthermore, you will simulate electric resonance—an essential phenomenon in both power and communication systems—understanding how to tune and analyze resonant frequencies using MATLAB’s powerful computational engines.

Module 3 – Comprehensive Electrical Machines Simulations

This extensive module covers the complete simulation lifecycle of various electrical machines. Starting with DC machines, you will build models for shunt, series, and separately excited DC motors, exploring crucial concepts like speed control and the implementation of motor starters to prevent high inrush currents. You will also simulate DC generators to understand power generation mechanics.

Transitioning to AC, we provide complete simulations of Induction motors and generators. You will learn how to implement speed control, design starting mechanisms, and integrate Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for modern industrial applications.

Finally, we cover Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) and conduct comprehensive transformer simulations (1-phase and 3-phase), calculating efficiency, tracking losses, evaluating voltage regulation, and simulating open and short circuit tests.

Module 4 – Power Systems Analysis and Protection

This module provides you with the tools to model and analyze power systems. You will begin with the modeling and design of transmission lines, understanding how power flows across long distances.

You will then perform crucial load flow analysis to ensure system stability and efficiency under various operating conditions.

Because grids are prone to disturbances, we will dive deep into symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault analysis. To protect these systems, you will learn the logic design of overcurrent relays and apply complete overcurrent protection schemes against power system faults directly within the Simulink environment.

Module 5 – Renewable Energy – Solar and Wind Simulations

In the solar energy segment, you will engage in the step-by-step modeling and design of solar panels. You will extract and plot crucial I-V and P-V characteristics, and analyze how environmental factors like irradiation and temperature impact photovoltaic (PV) cell performance.

We will also utilize the specialized MATLAB Simscape library for advanced solar simulations.

In the wind energy section, you will master the step-by-step modeling of wind turbines. You will undertake a practical project designing a 5KW wind turbine and analyze how changing various turbine parameters affects the overall mechanical and electrical power output.
