Matlab/Simulink provides a customized environment to realize a generalized modeling method previously developed by the authors for ungrounded power systems. Problems of building component models with function blocks and interconnecting them with algebraic loops in Matlab/Simulink are discussed. The system model of a reduced ring shipboard power system is built in Matlab/Simulink according to th...

MATLAB is a numeric computation software for engineering and scientific calculations. MATLAB is being used to teach circuit theory, filter design, random processes, control systems and communication theory. MATLAB matrix functions are shown to be versatile in doing analysis of data obtained from electronics experiments. The graphical features of MATLAB are especially useful for display of frequ...

This paper presents an Automatic Generation Control scheme for multi area power system using integrator and PID controller. The simulation results of four areas are compared using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. Automatic Generation Control is a very important process that operates constantly to balance the generation and load. PID controllers can be tuned by using many methods. In all methods an ini...

This paper discusses the development of a Matlab-based multi-Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) software receiver. Compared to a real-time GNSS receiver, the major difference is in the implementation mechanism of latching and processing the measurements between the receiver channels of a satellite system as well as channels of different systems. Implementation challenges increase due to ...

The true costs of high performance computing are currently dominated by software. Addressing these costs requires shifting to high productivity languages such as Matlab. MatlabMPI is a Matlab implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard and allows any Matlab program to exploit multiple processors. The performance has been tested on both shared and distributed memory parallel c...
