Characteristics of DC Series Generator: Experiment # 16
The objective of this lab is to introduce students to the Simulink environment and
enable them to perform basic operations related to Simulink.
i. Observe the Output and Input of Dc Series Generator with Matlab Simulink
Environment.
3.0 Software
MATLAB Simulink
4.0 Introduction
There are generally three most important characteristics of series wound DC generator
which show the relation between various quantities such as series field current or
excitation current, generated voltage, terminal voltage and load current.
5.0 Starting up Simulink
In order to use Simulink, you must first start MATLAB. With MATLAB running,
there are two ways to start Simulink:
1-Click on New (+ icon) then from the drop down menu click on Simulink Model
as shown in the picture.
2-Type ‘simulink’ at the MATLAB prompt followed by a carriage return (press the Enter
key)
Next, select New Model from the File pull-down menu in the Library Browser.
The following blank window appears on your screen. We will refer to this window
as the model window.
Building a Simulink model of a system consists of selecting the appropriate blocks and
connecting them in a way that represents the mathematical models. Since the best way
to learn a simulation tool is to work with it, this first tutorial will guide you through a
simple example. We will build the block diagram for a simple model consisting of a
sinusoidal input multiplied by a constant gain, which is depicted below.
6.0 Procedure
Following are the steps to draw the desire model on the DC Series Motor
1. In search bar, type the desired component and drag it into the model as shown
in
figure below:
One bye One Search All Components and select it,
i. DC Machine
ii. Constant Load
3. Now “Run” the simulation, clicking on the icon as shown into the figure below:
