Mathematical Modelling of Power Converters and Motors Using MATLAB

The Staff development Committee of the Engineering Department organised a programme on Mathematical Modelling of Power Converters and Motors Using MATLAB on 10 October 2019 from 1.30 to 2.30 pm in B007 Electrical Principles Lab.

 Dr Muruganandam, lecturer, Electrical Section, Engineering Department, delivered a presentation on how to develop the model for power electronic converters and DC motors using MATLAB simulation. He started his presentation with an overall introduction about power electronic converters and modelling of power electronics converters. His presentation mainly focused on development of mathematical model using the modelled equations for converters and motors. He also explained the basics of MATLAB simulation and how to use the math operation tools for modelling the converters and motors.

He demonstrated the working of modelled power electronic converter and DC motors using MATLAB Simulink software. The hands-on training was given to all participants. The participants developed the modelling for power converters and DC motors and tested the performance of converters and motors.

This programme was well-received by the staff and highly beneficial to the participants.
