Simulation of Synchronous and Asynchronous Generators Models for a Virtual Electrical Machines Laboratory

Abstract:

This paper presents the mathematical models for synchronous and asynchronous generators developed in MATLAB App Designer, with the purpose of implementing a virtual laboratory of electrical machines as a teaching tool for engineering students. This tool was needed because of the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic, and the parameters of existing machines were used to emulate the results expected in the real laboratory. The dynamic events simulation of both the synchronous machine and the asynchronous machine use models implemented in Simulink to get transient responses and the results of each practice are displayed in graphical interfaces. Finally, the main advantages offered by the software and the benefits given to the user in each module are detailed, focused on supporting learning, and reaching the objectives established in each laboratory practice.
