In this study, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) environment was established using MATLAB/Simulink to simulate and verify the power performance of a wind turbine. The target wind turbine was selected as the NREL 5 MW model, and modeling was performed based on the disclosed specifications. The HILS environment consists of a PC equipped with a MATLAB/Simulink program, a programmable logic controller (PLC) for uploading and linking control algorithms, and data acquisition (DAQ) equipment to manage wind turbine data input and output. The operation of the HILS environment was carried out as a procedure of operation (PC) of the target wind turbine modeled based on MATLAB/Simulink, data acquisition (PLC) of control algorithms, control command calculation (PLC), and control command input (PC). The simulation was performed using the HILS environment under turbulent wind conditions and compared with the simulation results performed under the same conditions in the HILS environment using the commercial program Bladed for performance verification. From the comparison, it was found that the dynamic simulation results of the Bladed HILS and the MATLAB HILS were close in power performances and the errors in the average values of rotor rotation speed and power generation between the two simulations were about 0.44 % and 3.3 %, respectively.

In this paper, the implementation of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) model based on the Matlab/Simulink is described. Due to the analysis of the mathematical dq-modeling, a vector controlled PMSM drive simulation is approached. With the simulated system, unlike in black block models, all machine parameters are accessible for control and verification. Based on the Matlab/Simulink, the model of the PMSM with load torque is established, the simulation is studied and some conclusions are given.

The DEVS (Discrete Event Systems Specification) formalism supports specification of discrete event models in a hierarchical modular manner. MATLAB/Simulink is widely used for modeling, simulating and analyzing continuous and discrete time systems. This paper proposes a realization of the DEVS formalism in MATLAB/ Simulink. The proposed design enables to use a great amount of mathematical packages and functions included in MATLAB /Simulink. The design is also employed as real time simulation and hybrid system simulation which is a mixture of continuous systems and discrete event systems. The paper introduces Simulink-DEVS model, in which a simulation algorithm is embedded. The model consists of a Simulink-atomic model and a Simulink-coupled model. In addition, the time advance algorithm to simulate the model is suggested. The algorithm handles the time synchronization and the accommodation of different concepts specific to continuous and discrete event models. Two experimental results are presented for a pure discrete event model and a hybrid model.

For an accurate computer simulation to motor drive systems, the target mechanical load system driven by a motor needs to be model its characteristics accurately. In general, a load system is modeled simply with system parameters such as approximated system inertia and friction. So, simulation results have some errors compared with experimental results for a real load system. RecurDyn is a mechanics simulation program for 3-dimension analysis to mechanical load systems. From this program, parameters such as a load torque, a system inertia and a viscous friction can be obtained accurately which are required to model a mechanical system. Also, this program operates together Matlab/Simulink which is used to simulate electrical motor drive systems. So, an accurate simulation for the whole system with a motor drive system and a mechanical load is possible. This paper introduces an application of RecurDyn program to an electric forklift drive system using IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) and examines the feasibility of co-simulation it with Matlab/Simulink.

This paper describes the development of a modular simulation environment to analyze the performance of guided weapons. For the reusability of the simulation environment, components of the guided weapon simulation are modularized based on MATLAB Simulink.

Near-Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless communication technology evolved from RFID especially for the exchange of data between active and passive devices. This paper presents the mathematical models for the signal path of a NFC transceiver system and a behavioral simulation platform using MATLAB simulink. The approximated mathematical models simplify the simulation complexity of a transceiver and provide a quick evaluation. With this calculation platform, we can evaluate the system performance caused by the noise and the non-linearity of the individual blocks, and caused by system variables such as Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) of ADC and filter cutoff frequency. This platform provides us with a rapid prototyping, a reliable system design, and an efficient risk management during development of the NFC transceiver ICs.

This paper introduces the development of a toolbox for the Space Shuttle Main Engine(SSME) based on MATLAB/Simulink. A mathematical model of rocket engine creation and validation can be a complex process, the development of a rocket engine toolbox simplifies this process, thereby facilitating engine performance optimization as well as new design development. The mathematical modeling of the SSME dealt with in this paper is formed by 32 first-order differential equations derived from seven governing equations. We develop the toolbox for the SSME classifying each module according to the engine components. Further, we confirm the validity of the toolbox by comparing the results of the simulation obtained using the toolbox with those obtained using the original simulation of the engine.
