Synopsis

Simulation of Software Tools for Electrical Systems: Theory and Practice offers engineers and students what they need to update their understanding of software tools for electric systems, along with guidance on a variety of tools on which to model electrical systems―from device level to system level. The book uses MATLAB, PSIM, Pspice and PSCAD to discuss how to build simulation models of electrical systems that assist in the practice or implementation of simulation software tools in switches, circuits, controllers, instruments and automation system design.

In addition, the book covers power electronic switches and FACTS controller device simulation model building with the use of Labview and PLC for industrial automation, process control, monitoring and measurement in electrical systems and hybrid optimization software HOMER is presented for researchers in renewable energy systems.

• Includes interactive content for numerical computation, visualization and programming for learning the software tools related to electrical sciences
• Identifies complex and difficult topics illustrated by useable examples
• Analyzes the simulation of electrical systems, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems using different software, including MATLAB, LABVIEW, MULTISIM, AUTOSIM and PSCAD
