Program-III
Object: Simulation of Simple Circuits
A simple circuit is to be simulated as an attempt to understand the applicaation of
powerlib block set .A series rlc circuit has been choosen for the purpose.bothe
sorce voltage and voltage across the impedance is measured vith the help of
voltage measurement block. Current variation can be seen using current
measurement block.
The circuit consists of RLC series branch where R=100ohms.L=1m henry and
C=1micro F. this branch is excited by a single phase AC voltage source where
Vs=100v,F=60 Hz.

Building the Electrical Circuit with powerlib Library

1. Open the SimPowerSystems main library by entering the following

command at the MATLAB prompt.
2. From the File menu of the powerlib window, open a new window to contain
your first circuit and save it as circuit1.
3. Open the Electrical Sources library and copy the AC Voltage Source block
into the circuit1 window.
4. Open the AC Voltage Source dialog box by double-clicking the icon and
enter the Amplitude, Phase, and Frequency parameters according to the
values mentioned..
5. Copy the series RLC Branch block, which can be found in the Elements
library of powerlib, set its parameters as mentioned above.
6. You need a Voltage Measurement block to measure the voltage across
voltage source and rlc branch . This block is found in the Measurements
library of powerlib.
7. To observe the voltage measured by the Voltage Measurement block, a
display system is needed. This can be any device found in the Simulink
Sinks library.Open the Sinks library and copy the Scope block into your
circuit1 window. Duplicate this voltage measurement system across the
impedance
8. To observe the current current measurement block is required and is
connected as shown
9. Add a Powergui block to your model..
