Experiment-6

Name of Experiment: Introduction to SimPowerSystems.

Introduction

SimPowerSystems software and other products of the Physical Modeling product family work
together with Simulink software to model electrical, mechanical, and control systems.
SimPowerSystems software operates in the Simulink environment. Therefore, before starting this
user's guide, make yourself familiar with Simulink documentation.

SimPowerSystems software allows you to build and simulate electrical circuits containing linear
and nonlinear elements.

In this section you

 Explore the powerlib library


 Learn how to build a simple circuit from the powerlib library
 Interconnect Simulink blocks with your circuit

The circuit below represents an equivalent power system feeding a 300 km transmission line.
The line is compensated by a shunt inductor at its receiving end. A circuit breaker allows
energizing and de-energizing of the line. To simplify matters, only one of the three phases is
represented. The parameters shown in the figure are typical of a 735 kV power system.

The graphical user interface makes use of the Simulink functionality to interconnect various
electrical components. The electrical components are grouped in a library called powerlib.

1. Open the SimPowerSystems main library by entering the following command at the
MATLAB prompt.

powerlib

1. From the File menu of the powerlib window, open a new window to contain your first
circuit and save it as circuit1.
2. Open the Electrical Sources library and copy the AC Voltage Source block into the
circuit1 window.

3. Open the AC Voltage Source dialog box by double-clicking the icon and enter the
Amplitude, Phase, and Frequency parameters according to the values shown in Circuit to
Be Modeled.
4. Note that the amplitude to be specified for a sinusoidal source is its peak value
(424.4e3*sqrt(2) volts in this case).
5. Change the name of this block from AC Voltage Source to Vs.
6. Copy the Parallel RLC Branch block, which can be found in the Elements library of
powerlib, set its parameters as shown in Circuit to Be Modeled, and name it Z_eq.
7. The resistance Rs_eq of the circuit can be obtained from the Parallel RLC Branch block.
Duplicate the Parallel RLC Branch block, which is already in your circuit1 window.
Select R for the Branch Type parameter and set the R parameter according to Circuit to
Be Modeled.
8. Once the dialog box is closed, notice that the L and C components have disappeared so
that the icon now shows a single resistor.
9. Copy the PI Section Line block from the Elements library into the circuit1 window, set
its parameters as shown in Circuit to Be Modeled, and specify one line section.
10. Copy the Series RLC Load block, which can be found in the Elements library of
powerlib. Name this block 110 Mvar. Set its parameters as follows:

Vn 424.4e3 V
fn 60 Hz
P 110e6/300 W (quality factor = 300)
QL 110e6 vars
Qc 0

11. You need a Voltage Measurement block to measure the voltage at node B1. This block is
found in the Measurements library of powerlib. Copy it and name it U1. Connect its
positive input to the node B1 and its negative input to a new Ground block.To observe
the voltage measured by the Voltage Measurement block named U1, a display system is
needed. This can be any device found in the Simulink Sinks library.
12. Open the Sinks library and copy the Scope block into your circuit1 window. If the scope
were connected directly at the output of the voltage measurement, it would display the
voltage in volts. However, electrical engineers in power systems are used to working with
normalized quantities (per unit system). The voltage is normalized by dividing the value
in volts by a base voltage corresponding to the peak value of the system nominal voltage.
In this case the scaling factor K is

13. Copy a Gain block from the Simulink library and set its gain as above. Connect its output
to the Scope block and connect the output of the Voltage Measurement block to the Gain
block. Duplicate this voltage measurement system at the node B2, as shown below.

14. Add a Powergui block to your model. The purpose of this block is discussed in Using the
Powergui Block to Simulate SimPowerSystems Models.
15. From the Simulation menu, select Start.
16. Open the Scope blocks and observe the voltages at nodes B1 and B2.
17. While the simulation is running, open the Vs block dialog box and modify the amplitude.
Observe the effect on the two scopes. You can also modify the frequency and the phase.
You can zoom in on the waveforms in the scope windows by drawing a box around the
region of interest with the left mouse button.

1. Illustrate the waveforms each point of change.
