Simulation Learning Experiences In Energy Conversion With Simulink And Sim Power Systems

The paper discusses introducing simulation into an introductory the introduction of physical modeling in an electrical machinery course using Simulink and the SimPowerSystems software. The paper provides a brief overview of the software with basic examples, and discusses faculty considerations for integrating the software in a class or laboratory. The integration of simulation is a work in progress, and the paper outlines initial outcomes assessment and future plans.
