Value Added Course on "MATLAB SIMULINK TOOLBOXES FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (SERIES I)", KPR Institute Engineering and Technology, Autonomous Engineering Institution, Coimbatore, India

The department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organized a Value Added Course on “MATLAB SIMULINK Toolboxes for Electrical Engineering (Series I)” from 24/03/2022 to 26/03/2022 exclusively for third year students. A heart-warming welcome was delivered by Dr.V.Kumar Chinnaiyan, Head of the Department. He conveyed the importance of skill development activity for the career growth.

Dr.V.S.Chandrika AsP/EEE has delivered valuable presentation on MATLAB Simulink Toolbox for Power Electronics. She had presented the discussions on

• Learn how to use power electronics and transformers and vary circuit initial conditions.

• Model a static var compensator (SVC) using three thyristor-switched capacitor banks (TSC) and one thyristor-controlled reactor bank (TCR).

Prof.C.Dinesh, AP (Sr.G) / EEE, has delivered valuable presentation Getting started with Fuzzy logix toolboxes. He had presented the discussions on

• Define membership functions and rules for fuzzy inference systems.

• Simulate and analyze fuzzy inference systems.

Prof.P.Praveena, AP/EEE, has delivered valuable presentation Embedded Coder toolbox She had presented the discussions on

• Configuration for code generation

• Selecting targets

• Working with custom data

• Optimizing and packaging code

Dr.D.Sathishkumar AP(Sl.G)/EEE, has delivered valuable presentation Power system simulation toolboxes. He had presented the discussions on

• It helps to develop control systems and test system-level performance

• Can be integrate mechanical, hydraulic, thermal, and other physical systems into your model using components from the Simscape family of products

Prof.K.Balamurugan, AP/EEE, has delivered valuable presentation on Simulation of DC to DC Converter converters using MATLAB. He had presented the discussions on

• The DC-DC Converter block represents a behavioral model of a power converter

• How to balance input power, output power, and losses, the required amount of power is drawn from the supply side.

Dr.S.Ravindran, AP (Sl.G)/EEE, has delivered valuable presentation State Space Modelling using MATLAB. He had presented the discussions on

• Perform linear analysis

• Represent a linear time-invariant (LTI) model to perform control design

• Combine with other LTI models to represent a more complex system

The Value Added Course provided some of the interesting insights about the toolboxes that will be useful for electrical engineering. The   vote   of   thanks   was   delivered by the VAC Co-ordinator, Dr.I.Baranilingesan, AP (Sl.G)/ EEE. There were 87 students attended the programme and got benefited. The department of EEE thanks the management for providing this opportunity to conduct the value added program successfully.
