Hi All,

Quick question regarding deriving PM flux linkage [Wb] from a torque constant estimated from data on a PMLSM.

I have an estimated torque constant Kt [N/A], which is from experimental test data. I will now parameterising my Simscape PMLSM block from this torque constant.

The literature seems confusing, to derive PM flux linkage [Wb] from the experimental torque contant do i include the (3/2) constant. Some examples include the constant and some omit, which one of the following is preferred for deriving the PM flux linkage?

Thanks

Hi, MathWorks / MATLAB / Simulink community! I have recently started working my way through the book mentioned in the topic, and I am wondering if anybody out there would be interested and have time to help me review some of my work on the exercises. Specifically, I'm currently working "Exercise 7.9 - Challenge: Design of a Type 2 PLL" and I am not convinced that my implementation is correct, but I'm having some trouble with debugging.

Is anyone interested and have time to review my implementation and give some feedback? I'd definitely appreciate it.

Thanks!

ASME will be hosting a four-part conversation series from March 22-25, that will educate and equip mechanical engineers with workforce strategies. The series will bring together leaders and industry experts in education to explore which new skills will be taught to young engineers, what training mid-career engineers need in order to return to work as the pandemic subsides, and how much more can be done to confront the labor and skills gap in 2021 and beyond.

I was honored to be asked to participate in the first panel discussion along with distinguished faculty from MIT and the University of Colorado Boulder. I would encourage all of our customers involved in online teaching and learning to attend. More details on the panel discussion that features MathWorks response to COVID-19 are below:

The Evolution of Engineering Education Post-COVID-19 (March 22): The transition to remote learning was a shock for many universities and colleges across the country. Professors had to transform their in-person lecture into an engaging online class, and students had to take on more self-learning responsibilities. What impact will this change in teaching have on the future of education? This conversation will focus on the shift to online education at universities, the digital engineering skills students will need to learn, and how academia and industry can work together to prepare the young engineers entering the workforce.

I just started my MPhil in power systems and we are doing load flow analysis. I am completely lost throughout the gauss seidel and newton Raphson methods using MatLab. can I get help, please?

This is a great presentation from 2 professors introducing how they use MATLAB in their physics courses. MATLAB Grader and Live Scripts are discussed in detail.

Here is the abstract:

-----

Guest Presenters: Michele McColgan, Siena College and Duncan Carlsmith, UW Madison

The meeting will start with short presentations, and then we'll have time for questions and discussion in a colloquial setting. The presenters use MATLAB in their courses, and this meeting will provide a good opportunity to see the functionality that MATLAB affords. However, the presenters' approach to integrating computation is relevant generally; thus, this meeting should be of great interest, even if you are not a MATLAB user.

There are also various online challenges by MathWorks that students may be interested. Here are the winners from last year's Simulink Student Challenge. There was also a MATLAB Online Live Editor Challenge a couple of years ago.

Hello , I wonder how to determine continous or discrete time modelling.For example if I want to run my model in MCU in this case discrete model is suitable?I am a bit confused

MATLAB Answers will now properly handle the use of the '*@*' character when you want to get someone's attention. This behavior is commonly referred to as 'mentioning' or 'tagging' someone and is a feature found in most communication apps.

Why we are doing this

To help with communication and potentially speed up conversations. Also, it turns out many of you have been typing the @ character in Answers already, even though the MATLAB Answers site didn't behave in the expected way.

How it works

Once you type the @ character a popup will appear listing the community members already in the Q/A thread, as you keep typing the list will expand to include members not in the thread. A mentioned user will receive a notification when the question/answer/comment is posted. Each mention in the Q/A thread will have a new visual style and link to the user profile for that community member.

If you don't want to get 'mentioned' you can turn off the setting in your communication preferences located on your profile page .

We hope you will find this feature helpful and as always please reply with any feedback you may have.

We have created a new community for users of ThingSpeak. This new community is for students, researchers, and engineers looking to use MATLAB, Simulink, and ThingSpeak for Internet of Things applications. You can find the latest ThingSpeak news, tutorials to jump-start your next IoT project, and a forum to engage in a discussion on your latest cloud-based project. You can see answers to problems other users have solved and share how you solved a problem.

Christopher Stapels will be moderating the new ThingSpeak community .

We encourage you to visit the new community and share best practices, examples, and ask questions.

Hi everyone,

I am a third year BEng Energy Engineering student. I am looking at the design, modelling and peformance of an HVDC power converter for use in offshore wind for my final year dissertation. Power electronics is a new area for me and I am also new to simulink/ simscape elctrical.

Could anyone provide some useful examples of MMC (in particular rectifiers), or some advice for designing in simscape electrical. I am struggling with the design of PWM control especially. I aim to make a scaled down version of the MMC in Simulink but so far have had no luck. If anyone can help I would be really appreciative.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody!I've realized a DC/DC Buck Converter Model with closed loop control system. I need to limit the overshoot in the step response of the submitted system. I've already tried to tune the controller in the PID Tuner by manually adjusting the overshoot by moving the response time slider, as it is said in this article: https://it.mathworks.com/help/slcontrol/gs/automated-tuning-of-simulink-pid-controller-block.html The problem is that it is not accurate. I manage to get an overshoot of 4.77% or 5.4%, whereas i need to set the parameters in order that the overshoot is 5%. Should I use TuningGoal.Overshoot? How am I supposed to do? How should I set the input and output in my model? I've read Matlab documentation but I didn't catch that. Thanks in advance!

I am currently working on simulink online but I cannot maximize the screen

Please I would be glad if I could be helped with the design of Microturbine coupled with PMSG.

How do you teach subjects like Programming and Numerical Computing hands-on in these challenging times?

Prof Chiranjoy Chattopadhyay at the Dept of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Jodhpur shares his innovative approach to teaching at a distance in this new Technical Article on Teaching Parallel Computing Online with MATLAB.

The course utilized MATLAB Online , MATLAB Onramp and MATLAB Grader to train students in the basics of technical computing, in addition to using a Hands-on Online GPU workshop organised with the MathWorks Education Team. As a result of this approach to distance teaching, the students have reported good levels of understanding in the main learning outcomes of this course, as indicated in the survey results (below):
