Preface

Building on MATLAB (the language of technical computing), Simulink provides a
platform for engineers to plan, model, design, simulate, test and implement complex
electromechanical, dynamic control, signal processing and communication systems.
Simulink-Matlab combination is very useful for developing algorithms, GUI assisted
creation of block diagrams and realisation of interactive simulation based designs. The
eleven chapters of the book demonstrate the power and capabilities of Simulink to
solve engineering problems with varied degree of complexity in the virtual
environment. The first four chapters provide details of design, analysis, simulation
and implementation of flexible AC transmission system devices to control the power
variables, multi-component electric circuits, signal transmission through power
distribution lines of different kinds and PID/fuzzy logic control of a boom suspension.
Details of enhanced capabilities in simulation effects constitute the subject matter of
the next three chapters on S-functions for custom made subroutines and bond graph
models, development of model and HDL code on FPGA system and harmonic
linearization method of non-linear characteristics of modulation techniques. The last
four chapters deal with examples of electromagnetic and dynamic systems of thermo-
electrical micro hot plate with temperature control circuit, braked railed vehicle wheel
slide protection, replacement in a car battery by a hybrid supply of battery and super
capacitors and a novel speed control logic for electric vehicle. I hope that both
newcomers and professionals in the field would benefit by going through the details
given in the above chapters of the book.
