Abstract

Electric machines are used to generate electrical power in power plants and provide mechanical work in industries. This paper describes the MATLAB/SIMULINK realization of the performance of a D.C. shunt motor and introduces model power components to use computer simulation as a tool for conducting transient by using Simulink and SimPower System. These simulation models were employed to calculate the speed (N), torque (T), armature current (Ia), input and output power (Pin and Pout), losses (Plosses) and efficiency (η) for the motor at no load and load conditions. The results obtained using MATLAB were compared with the practical results, the ratio of error is about (1-2) % was found. The SIMULINK was written in MATLAB languages version (6.5).
