Hello everyone, first post here!
I'm a Matlab and Simulink novice. I'm trying to design a simple electrical circuit in Simulink, and I think I'm almost there. it's a 3-phase synchronous generator feeding a RLC load, and excited by a type-1 exciter. My ultimate goal is to use Matlab and Simulink to design an AVR to excite this generator and adequately respond to changes in load and fault conditions, and then use Arduino or something similar to try and programme one. The trouble is, I'm hopeless at control engineering (at the moment!). I've had some experience with it and hated it, so I need to get better.
Anyway, my question is this: how do you derive transfer functions for the generator, exciter and any amplifiers or feedback sensors required for the closed-loop AVR system? I'm trying to build this system but I don't know how to derive the transfer functions for the various components.
Additionally, can files be posted here if anyone wants pictures of the simulations of what I've done so far?
Many thanks in advance!
