Electrical Network Theorems Analysis using MATLAB/Simulink

Abstract

Electric Circuit Analysis (ECA) is the course that offered to the GTU students of 3^rd semester in Electrical Engineering and the course passing ratio is very poor. ECA required fundamental concepts in electrical engineering that simplify the analysis of complex circuits and predict their behavior under various conditions. Traditional methods of teaching and learning these theorems often rely on manual calculations and limited experimental setups, which may not fully illustrate their practical applications or complexities due to this student lose interest in ECA & result had been reduced day by day.  This paper will discuss Electrical Network Analysis in MATLAB /Simulink. The name MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory. MATLAB/Simulink, a powerful software suite for mathematical computation and simulation, offers an effective platform for visualizing and analyzing electrical circuits. It provides tools for creating dynamic models, performing simulations, and visualizing results, making it an ideal choice for studying electrical network theorems. This paper describes the MATLAB/Simulink realization of the DC Network Theorems, namely Superposition, Thevenin’s, Norton’s and Maximum Power Transfer Theorems. These simulation models are developed as a part of a software laboratory to support and enhance all electrical engineering Courses for the benefit of students [16].
