Simulation of different types of power electronic circuits was studied in previous chapters. Simulink can be used to simulate electrical machines as well. In this chapter we will focus on the simulation of electrical machines. We will learn how to simulate DC motors, DC generators, and induction motors. The techniques shown in this chapter are very useful in the simulation of electrical drive systems.
