Where is very courses and how to catch the courses

Hi Everyone,

Require some guidance and pointers on model ee_pmlsm_drive please.

Its regarding a PMSM linear machine model, with a cascade (position and speed) outer loop and a current controller inner loop (Id and Iq currents).

The current Simulink model uses a low voltage DC supply (48v) and uses a step input to the system. My system uses a HV source (400v) and the input is sinusoidal position, with an operating frequency range of 0 to 20hz.

I have used the original model, re-created my own (to learn Simulink/Simscape) with a HV battery source (400v) and used machine parameters that match the application (peer reviewed publication).

As my power electronics background is limited, my background is mechanical, i am unable to tune the inner and outer loops, and am unsure in what order to tune. My project is to use the linear PMSM to drive (motoring) a linear piston for combustion and also use the linear piston to drive the PMSM (generating).

Using the built in PID tuner for the outer speed and position loops i am encountering an error (plant cannot be linearised). I am using a simple 1 hz sine wave to simulate the reference position set-point. With all PID values set to default i have no dq currents, however i have idq ref from the outer velocity controller loop.

Any help with resources and guidance as to how to tune the loops for my updated parameters on this model would be great.

Moving Lab-based Classes Online

In this article, we discuss how educators can adopt simulation, alternative hardware, and other teaching resources to transition lab-based classes to distance learning: https://medium.com/mathworks/tips-for-moving-your-lab-based-classes-online-1cb53e90ee00.

Do you teach a lab-based class? Please share your thoughts, questions, experience, and feedback on these ideas here. I also welcome you to invite your colleagues to join the discussion here.

One community within MathWorks that has been helping students continue their learning is MATLAB Student Ambassadors. Despite new challenges with transitioning to distance learning, student ambassadors have done a truly amazing job. In a blog that was published recently, I discuss 3 examples of the great things that our student ambassadors have done to aid distance learning. Click here to read the blog. I hope after reading this blog you share my level of admiration for these students.

LINEAR MOTOR GENERATOR MODEL

Hi, Currently modelling an reciprocating engine coupled to a linear PMSM motor/generator for my PhD. I have downloaded the "Model File Package for Motor Control Design Public Video" simulink model.

Is it possible to convert to rotational PMSM simscape plant model used for a linear PMSM model? As there are none in the library to just drag into the existing control model.

Any ideas i can represent a linear motor based on this existing control model?

My output from the machine needs to be linear position w.r.t, with a total stroke of approximately 100 mm. Can i convert the rotational constant speed input at port "W" to a sinusoidal velocity profile (such that it replicates the velocity profile of a linear machine)?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

I wanted to briefly share my experience in transitioning from a hands-on lab course to a virtual lab in MATLAB. Here at UMass Amherst, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, we have a required undergraduate lab sequence, one during junior year and another during senior year. I teach the 2nd course, MIE 402, with a focus on measurements, data acquisition, system dynamics, and control.
The main idea behind our labs, in addition to the all too important hands-on experience, is to provide the students with a platform where they can validate and understand limitations of theoretical models from experimental data.
While the hands-on aspect was lost, we were able to create virtual experiments that consisted on Simulink models saved as protected files. In our protected models, students were able to assign input variables, decide on simulation parameters (e.g., integration parameters), and have certain outputs saved to the workspace. The key for making this a challenging lab was twofold: (1) Students were not told about the level of modelling detail inside the protected file (e.g., were dry friction or electrical inductance included?) and (2) each student was assigned a different set of model parameters based on their student ID (via a predefined table inside the protected file). The 2nd point was especially impactful as students felt as if they are working on their own experiment.
We developed virtual labs for a tuned mass damper and a DC motor experiments. Feedback from the students showed that they missed the hands-on experience but really liked being able to interact, as many times as needed, with the virtual lab at their time frame of choice, and have the ability to interact with us (grad assistant and myself) then re-run the experiment to test new ideas.
Some future developments that could significantly enhance the educational impact of such virtual labs would be the addition of real-time animation and increased level of modelling (e.g., data acquisition effects, electromagnetics, etc.’). At UMass we presently do not have access to the entire suite of MATLAB tools, something that prevented us from including these ideas in our virtual labs.
This would have not been possible without Andy Bartlett (tremendous Simulink help) and Div Tiwari (quickly getting us access to required tools).

Professor Martin Trauth has shared lots of teaching resources on his MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences site. Now with the changes created by COVID, he's shifting his courses to online, including at-home phone-based data collection.

A common question you may have when integrating MATLAB Grader into your LMS using the LTI standard is what information is being sent to MATLAB Grader from your LMS?

First, please familiarize yourself with the LTI specification on the IMS Global website: http://www.imsglobal.org/specs/ltiv1p1/implementation-guide

Next, take a look at the documentation we provide on LMS integration that is specific to your platform/vendor: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlabgrader/lms-integration.html

MathWorks does not require personally identifiable information. More specifically, here are the standard LTI fields that we DO NOT want nor collect, as opposed to what fields we DO collect.

We do NOT want your LMS to send us: - user_image - lis_person_name_given - lis_person_name_family - lis_person_name_full - lis_person_contact_email

We DO require from your LMS: - roles

The other LTI fields listed in the specification are not related to personally identifiable information, and may be required for the LTI session to be launched successfully. For further questions about what is contained in the LTI specification, please refer to the specification and implementation guide provided by IMS, or contact the vendor of your LMS.

Problem 44951. Verify Law of Large Numbers

If a large number of fair N-sided dice are rolled, the average of the simulated rolls is likely to be close to the mean of 1,2,...N i.e. the expected value of one die. For example, the expected value of a 6-sided die is 3.5.
Given N, simulate 1e8 N-sided dice rolls by creating a vector of 1e8 uniformly distributed random integers. Return the difference between the mean of this vector and the mean of integers from 1 to N.
function dice_diff = loln(N)
A=randi([1,N],1e8,1)
M=mean(A)
B=1:N
m=mean(B)
dice_diff =abs(M-m);
end
Here is my code, but it can't work out as it needs too long time to creat A.

can anyone advise which Matlab code I can add to the below codes to have Spectrogram Plot?

The Corona-virus (COVID-19) detection

I want to use the Image fusions and deep neural network to detect the Corona-virus (COVID-19)

Hello, I want to generate Sinusoidal PWM for 3 level inverter. But I can not finding the way of connect these blocks togather. Is it possible to conenct them? Is there any other way to generate SPWM in simulink?

Hello everyone! I'm trying to find an optimal placement for a recloser using the optimization toolbox. The best place to set a recloser is defined by minimal SAIFI (system average interruption frequency index) value. I've created a little function where Nt - total number of customers, G - are some weights characterizing power lines, Xi - number of interrupted customers (if interruption happens in i-th line AND it has a recloser in it), Mi - row of 1 and 0 (that genetic algorithm should use as a gene I guess...) Here's the code of function:

function [S] = SAIFI_sum (M)
Nt=270;
G = [1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6];
X = [270 30 220 180 60 70];
  for i=1:length(M)
      if  M(i)== 1
      N(i) = X(i);
  else
          N(i) = Nt;
      end
  end
  S = 0;
  for j=1:length(M)
      SAIFI(j) = N(j)*G(j);
      S = S + SAIFI(j);
  end
   S
end
As a result I have 51 same results: S = 297 and following message:
"Optimization running.
Objective function value: 297.0
Optimization terminated: average change in the fitness value less than options.FunctionTolerance".
I couldn't understand how to solve this problem.

MATLAB Grader in online environments

I organized in September 2019 a one-week workshop in a hybrid set-up (students could attend the workshop either on-site or fully on-line). Beyond the hybrid nature of the workshop, the workshop was "flipped": the workshop attendees had to study some handbook specifically written for the workshop, watch some short videos summarizing the main concepts and answer online quizzes. During the workshop, most of the time was spent on hands-on coding exercises and assignments, during which the workshop attendees had to apply the concepts presented in the handbook and videos.

All coding exercises and assignments were carried out with MATLAB Grader. The platform provided the same coding environment to all workshop attendees, irrespective of whether they attended the workshop on-site or remotely. Furthermore, by providing a coding template and rigorous assessment tests along each exercise, having all students converging to the right "solution" was painless. It allowed me, as a teacher, to entirely focus on helping the students in solving those exercises, which was extremely rewarding.

This teaching set-up, combined with smart IT solutions as e.g MATLAB Grader, favors deep student learning, since the students learn by doing (active learning) and are continuously supported by the teacher in their learning.

I will soon teach in another course along the same principles. The course was supposed to be given on-site only, but because of the outbreak of Covid-19, it will be given entirely online. Thanks to MATLAB Grader, the migration to a online set-up is straightforward.

In case you want to read more about some of my past efforts in the development and application of student-centred pedagogical approaches, you can read more about those at: https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/physics/news/Pages/Teaching-the-algorithms-that-are-crucial-for-nuclear-reactor-modelling.aspx and https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/physics/news/Pages/Online-educational-efforts-to-ensure-nuclear-safety.aspx

I will also be glad to answer questions and provide help to those of you who want to get started with online teaching.

This Coursera course teaches computer programming to those with little to no previous experience: https://www.coursera.org/learn/matlab

Your students might find this course a useful introduction to programming.

I took a course on Medical Image Processing from one of the instructors, Prof Mike Fitzpatrick, when I was a graduate student at Vanderbilt University a few decades ago. He's a great instructor who helped get me hooked on MATLAB for learning, teaching and researching!
