Research on electrical machine simulation on Matlab-Simulink software for teaching electrical machine characteristics

Abstract

To have accurate knowledge of the characteristics of an electric machine, it is necessary to have an idea of its operating conditions. This article presents a teaching method using electrical machine simulation in specially designed experimental exercises that can be performed using Matlab-Simulink. This Matlab-Simulink software-based technology simulates a real-world synchronous, asynchronous, or other electrical machine to determine its performance characteristics. Using the prepared simulation device, students are tested through questions in the exercise to determine the effectiveness of the method of teaching concepts, characteristics, and operation of electrical machines. This evaluation was very positive in terms of the students’ increased knowledge and their better understanding of the tests and theoretical concepts of electrical machine characteristics.
