students of Electrical Engineering registered under CUSAT. The lab aims in delivering
a better understanding of advanced concepts especially related to instrumentation and
control. The lab also introduces the student to various simulations softwares like MATLAB
and SPICE. The knowledge of simulation tools will empower the students with sufficient
knowledge for the simplified analysis of control systems, power systems and electronic
circuits.

INSTRUCTIONS
Discipline has to be maintained throughout the lab session.
All students should wear shoes.
Male students should tuck in their shirts.
Students should not lean on the work bench or on the computer table.
Do not switch on the supply before the circuit is verified by the concerned lab faculty.
Shutdown the computer before leaving the lab.
Use of mobile phone inside the laboratory is strictly prohibited.
Entry will be allowed only to students who have their rough record and fair record
(completed) in custody.
Students should have their identity cards in custody inside the lab.

Check the connections made and switch on the instrument.

Allow the instrument to stay in on position for 10 minutes for intial warm up.
Select the full bridge configuration from the selector switch on the panel.
Adjust the ZERO potentiometer on the panel till the display reads zero.
Apply 1kg load on the cantilever beam and adjust the CAL potentiometer till the
display reads 377.
6. Remove the weights and check whether the display reads zero. If it is not zero, then
adjust ZERO potentiometer again until the diaplay shows zero. Now the instrument
is calibrated to read micro-strain.
7. Apply load on the sensor using the loading arrangement provided in steps of 100g
upto 1kg. The instrument displays exact strain in micro-strain. Note down the

Aim:
To analyse the working of RTD and to determine its characteristics.
Components Required:
Students are expected to complete this section before coming to the lab.

Theory:
Students are expected to complete this section before coming to the lab.

Procedure:
1. Connections are done as per the circuit diagram. Connect a voltmeter across the
RTD terminals. Switch on the supply and keep the instrument in on condition for
10 minutes for initial warm up.
2. Pour water to about 3/4th of the kettle and place the sensor and the thermometer
inside it.
3. Note down the initial water temperature from the thermometer.
4. Adjust the initial set potentiometer in the front panel till the display shows the intial
water temperature.
5. Switch on the kettle and wait till the water boils. Note down the reading in the
thermometer and adjust final set potentiometer till the display reads the boiling
water temperature.
6. Remove the sensor from the boiling water and immerse it in cold water. If the
display reading and the thermometer reading are not the same, then adjust the inital
set potentiometer until they are equal.
7. Repeat the above process till the display reads the exact boiling and cold water
temperatures. If the correct value is displayed, it is inferred that the device has been
caliberated.
8. After caliberation, pour cold water into the kettle and adjust the thermostst setting
in steps so that the water temperature increases. Note down the temperature and
the display reading during each step. Also note down the voltmeter reading. The
thermostat is varied until the water starts boiling.
9. Switch of the kettle and the supply.

FAMILIARIZATION OF SIMULINK
Aim:
To familiarize with SIMULINK.
Introduction:
SIMULINK is a Graphical Users Interface (GUI) software which works directly with the
block diagram of a control system (rather than differential equations, or transfer functions)
to produce a simulation of the systems response to arbitrary inputs and initial conditions.
The basic entity in SIMULINK is a block, which can be selected from a library of commonly
used blocks. Alternatively, a user can device special blocks out of the common blocks, Mfiles, MEX files, C, or Java codes through the S-function facility.
Procedure:
1. To open the SIMULINK library browser, double click on the SIMULINK icon on the
MATLAB toolbar, or issue the following command at the MATLAB prompt
>> simulink

2. Click on the create a new model icon on the SIMULINK toolbar. A window for the
new model will open.
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering,
College of Engineering, Kidangoor

22

Lab Manual: Advanced Electrical Engineering Lab (EE 707)

2006 Scheme

3. Open the subsystem library in the general SIMULINK library browser by doubleclicking on the appropriate icon. The subsystems are: Continuous, Discontinuous,
Sinks, Sources etc.
4. Select the required blocks from the subsystems libraries and drag them individually
to the open new model window.
5. Once the required blocks are dragged and placed in the new model window, the inports and out-ports of the adjacent blocks can be joined to create a block diagram as
desired. Double clicking on each block will open a dialog blox, in which the blocks
parameters can be set.
6. Once the block diagram is ready, it is saved into a location on the hard disk drive.
7. In order to simulate the block diagram, click on the play button on the toolbar.
If the model created was correct, the simulation will start and the results can be
viewed using any of the sink blocks in the model. However, if there was an error,
SIMULINK prompts with a diagnostics dialog box which describes what went wrong
in the simulation and also what has to be modified in the model for a successful
simulation.
8. The simulation can be further refined by adjusting the simulation parameters.
SIMULINK provides several simulation parameters that can be adjusted to achieve a
desired accuracy in a simulation. A user can select from a number of time-integration
schemes, such as Runge-Kutta, Euler, etc and as well as refine the tolerances and time
step sizes used for performing the simulation.

STEADY-STATE STABILITY ANALYSIS

Aim:
To study the steady-state analysis of a power system using MATLAB.
System Description:
A 60Hz synchronous generator having inertia constant H = 9.94M J/M V A and a transient
reactance Xd0 = 0.3 per unit is connected to an infinite bus through a purely reactive circuit
as shown in the figure. Reactances are marked on the diagram on a common system base.
The generator is delivering real power of 0.6 per unit, 0.8 power factor lagging to an
infinite bus at a voltage of V = 1 per unit. Assume the per unit damping power coefficient
is D = 0.138. The generator is operating in the steady state at 0 = 16.79 when the input
power is increased by a small amount P = 0.2 per unit.
Modelling:
It is given that the input power is increased by a small amount P . The linearized swing
