EEE229 Coursework Assignment 2024
EEE229 Coursework Assignment 2024
(2023-24)
Submission details: The assignment contains two parts, Part I for Semester I and
Part II for Semester 2. Please complete your answers and present them in the form of
a report by using a word-processed document (or LaTex/Overleaf) and provide
detailed solutions showing the individual steps and justification to reach your results.
You will need to submit each part separately, which means two submissions in two
different links. So please ensure that you make two individual submissions, one
submission for Part I and one for Part II. Combined submissions of both parts into
1 document will not be considered for marking. Please save each of your documents
into an individual PDF file and submit these via the BlackBoard EEE229 site in the
corresponding submission links under the ‘Coursework Assignment 2024’ content
folder. Please do not zip your PDF files.
The deadline for submission is 23:59 on Monday, 20th May 2024. Grades and
feedback will be released a few weeks after the deadline.
The questions in Part I contain data which are shown in RED CAPITAL TEXT, which
is specific to each candidate. You can find the particular data for you to use based on
your registration number in each question by Appendix A of this problem sheet.
1
The nominal speed for the compressor is NOMINAL_SPEED (i.e. the synchronous
speed with zero slip). During manufacture, the stator resistance is measured to be R1.
During a locked-rotor test at 400Hz after assembly, the measured input power per
phase is LR_INPUT_POWER and the measured phase current is LR_CURRENT
when operated at standstill with a reduced stator voltage of LR_VOLTAGE. The
machine has a core loss at 3% slip of CORE_LOSS. The magnetising reactance, 𝑋𝑚 ,
is j30.
a) Calculate the number of poles for the design to achieve the specified nominal
speed.
[2]
b) Using the full approximate equivalent circuit, calculate the torque produced by
the machine for a slip of 3%.

QUESTION 3
Simulation activity: electromechanical analysis of separately excited DC machine
Open MATLAB and then open Simulink. Create a new blank Simulink model, go to
the Library Browser, search for the Simscape Library and find the DC Machine
block (figure below).
The DC Machine block has one mechanical input, that can either be the torque of
the load [Nm] or the angular velocity of the rotor [rad/s]. You can change the
mechanical input by double-clicking on the DC Machine block and selecting the
appropriate option under the preferences tab.
Under the preferences tab, you can also select the type of the DC machine under
consideration. The DC Machine block can implement either a wound-field or a
permanent magnet DC machine. In this case, we will study a separately excited DC
machine, so select the appropriate type to account for the separately excited machine.
The output of the DC Machine block is a vector (m) that contains four signals. You
can demultiplex these signals by using either the Demux (left figure below) or the Bus
Selector (right figure below) blocks that are provided by the Simulink Library.
From the Library Browser, locate the DC Voltage Source block (left figure below)
and the Ground Connection block (right figure below) and use them to supply the
armature winding (A+ and A-) and the field winding (F+ and F-) of the DC machine
with power.
3
Use the Constant block to set the load torque at a fixed value and make the
connection with the DC Machine block. The sign convention for the mechanical
torque is: when the speed is positive, a positive torque signal indicates motor mode
and a negative signal indicates generator mode.
Use the Scope block (left figure below) to create graph windows that will allow you to
observe the four signals contained inside the output vector (m).
Do not forget to place the powergui block (right figure above) anywhere inside your
Simulink model before running the simulation.
From the parameters of the DC Machine block, change the preset model of the DC
machine to:
01: 5HP 240V 1750RPM FIELD: 300V
Hint: Make sure that the other blocks contain the nominal (rated) values of the preset
model.
Select the mechanical input as Torque TL and set the load torque as a constant of
10 [Nm].
Set the armature voltage at 100 [V], 160 [V], 240 [V] and 300 [V], and check the rotor
speed and the armature current using the Scope blocks.
Use KVL for the armature circuit and modify the Simulink model so that you can
observe the Back-EMF as well.
Hint: Change the parameter measurement of the DC Voltage Source block that
supplies the armature winding into Voltage. Also, use the Multimeter block.
4
Keep the armature voltage at 240 [V], set the field winding voltage at 300 [V], 260 [V],
220 [V], 200 [V], 50 [V], 40 [V], 30[V], and 20 [V], and check the rotor speed, the
field current and the Back EMF produced, considering firstly the case of a load torque
of 10 [Nm] and secondly the case of no load at all.
a. What do you observe in each case?
b. How do your observations agree with the mathematical model of the separately
excited DC machine?
In your answers, provide simulation graphs, comments, and mathematical
formulas wherever necessary.
Hint: Remember the sign convention regarding the torque and the rotor speed.
Keep the load torque at 10 [Nm]. Change the polarity of the armature voltage by
setting it at -240 [V] and observe the rotor speed and the armature current.
Change the load torque, by setting it at -10 [Nm], while keeping the armature
voltage at -240 [V]. Observe the rotor speed and the armature current.
a. How does the DC machine behave (motor or generator)?
b. What happens and why?
Set the armature voltage at +240 [V] and then change the polarity of the field
voltage, by setting it at -300 [V]. Observe the rotor speed and the armature current
when the load torque is -10 [Nm] and 10 [Nm].
a. How does the DC machine behave in each case (motor & generator)?
b. What happens and why?
Keep the load torque at 10 [Nm]. Set the armature voltage at -240 [V] and set the
field voltage at -300 [V]. Compare the direction of the rotation with the case where
the armature voltage is +240 [V] and the field voltage is +300 [V].

Part II: Semester 2 (score 50)
Introductory notes: The following questions contain elements that were studied in
several lectures in Semester 2, and motor equations (torque and power) have been
also studied in Semester 1. For this section, we encourage you to use mathematics
software packages such as Wolfram Mathematica or Maple to facilitate your
analysis, whose license is available for all students.
Similar to Part 1, supplementary information is provided in Table 1 of the Appendix B
at the end of the document. Please use the relevant data for your registration number.
