Not only do modeling and simulation help provide a better understanding of how real-world systems function, they also enable us to predict system behavior before a system is actually built and analyze systems accurately under varying operating conditions. Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using MATLAB® and Simulink® provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of all the important aspects of modeling and simulating both physical and conceptual systems. Various real-life examples show how simulation plays a key role in understanding real-world systems. The author also explains how to effectively use MATLAB and Simulink software to successfully apply the modeling and simulation techniques presented. After introducing the underlying philosophy of systems, the book offers step-by-step procedures for modeling different types of systems using modeling techniques, such as the graph-theoretic approach, interpretive structural modeling, and system dynamics modeling. It then explores how simulation evolved from pre-computer days into the current science of today. The text also presents modern soft computing techniques, including artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms, for modeling and simulating complex and nonlinear systems. The final chapter addresses discrete systems modeling. Preparing both undergraduate and graduate students for advanced modeling and simulation courses, this text helps them carry out effective simulation studies. In addition, graduate students should be able to comprehend and conduct simulation research after completing this book.

Continuous-system simulation is an increasingly important tool for optimizing the performance of real-world systems. The book presents an integrated treatment of continuous simulation with all the background and essential prerequisites in one setting. It features updated chapters and two new sections on Black Swan and the Stochastic Information Packet (SIP) and Stochastic Library Units with Relationships Preserved (SLURP) Standard. The new edition includes basic concepts, mathematical tools, and the common principles of various simulation models for different phenomena, as well as an abundance of case studies, real-world examples, homework problems, and equations to develop a practical understanding of concepts.

Mechatronic Systems consist of components and/or sub-systems which are from different engineering domains. For example, a solenoid valve has three domains that work in a synergistic fashion: electrical, magnetic, and mechanical (translation). Over the last few decades, engineering systems have become more and more mechatronic. Automobiles are transforming from being gasoline-powered mechanical devices to electric, hybrid electric and even autonomous. This kind of evolution has been possible through the synergistic integration of technology that is derived from different disciplines. Understanding and designing mechatronic systems needs to be a vital component of today's engineering education. Typical engineering programs, however, mostly continue to train students in academic silos (otherwise known as majors) such as mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering. Some universities have started offering one or more courses on this subject and a few have even started full programs around the theme of Mechatronics. Modeling the behavior of Mechatronic systems is an important step for analysis, synthesis, and optimal design of such systems. One key training necessary for developing this expertise is to have comfort and understanding of the basic physics of different domains. A second need is a suitable software tool that implements these laws with appropriate flexibility and is easy to learn. This short text addresses the two needs: it is written for an audience who will likely have good knowledge and comfort in one of the several domains that we will consider, but not necessarily all; the book will also serve as a guide for the students to learn how to develop mechatronic system models with Simscape (a MATLAB tool box). The book uses many examples from different engineering domains to demonstrate how to develop mechatronic system models and what type of information can be obtained from the analyses.

Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit wird ein Algorithmus vorgestellt, der spannungsabhängige Einspeisung von Wirk- und Blindleistung in den Lastfluss-Algorithmus integriert. Es wird eine Beschleunigung von bis zu einer Größenordnung gegenüber dem derzeit gängigen Verfahren, und eine verbesserte Robustheit erreicht. Im zweiten Teil wird ein Phasor-Framework zur dynamischen Simulation von Stromnetzen vorgestellt. Die wesentliche Neuheit ist die Möglichkeit der Integration von Zustandsdiagrammen direkt in die Komponentenmodelle. Damit wird eine wesentlich schnellere Modellentwicklung ermöglicht als mit verfügbaren Tools. Im dritten Teil werden Modelle entwickelt und in das Framework integriert. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf einem Photovoltaik-Modell welches das dynamische P(V), Q(V) und P(f) Verhalten nach VDE 4105 im Bereich Sekunden bis Minuten abbildet. Im vierten Teil wird das entwickelte Phasor-Framework verwendet, um das Wiederzuschaltverhalten von Photovoltaikanlagen in einem dieselbetriebenen Inselnetz in der Niederspannung zu untersuchen. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass ein periodisches Ab- und Abschalten von Photovoltaikanlagen vorkommen kann.

About The Book: MATLAB is widely used in universities and colleges for graduate studies and research. Recently, MATLAB is being introduced to undergraduate students. Most of the books available on MATLAB are focused mainly on its use as programming language. The objective of this book is to explore the role and possibility of MATLAB, Simulink and its toolboxes in electrical and electronics engineering curriculum to promote modeling, simulation and virtual experimentation with emphasis on analysis, design and simulation study. The use of MATLAB needs that the user should know the concepts, fundamental and theoretical framework required to obtain the solution. Therefore, the author prefers to suggest the use of MATLAB as an equation solver tool from students learning and understanding point of view.
