MATLAB®/Simulink® Tutorials on Physical Modeling and Test-bed Setup

In this chapter, it will be shown how to build the physical models of electrical drives and grid connected power converter using MATLAB and Simulink. The physical model based simulations are considerably more complex than those simulations purely based on differential equations, particularly when semiconductor switches and PWM modules are used in the simulations. The tutorials are written in a step-by-step manner to guide the learner through them. The experimental test-beds for PMSM, induction motor and grid connected power converter are described in this chapter.
