Aim: - Simulate simple circuits using Circuit Maker

Software Platform Used: - Circuit Maker Pro 6.0
Theory: - The best way to get acquainted with Circuit Makers analog
simulation is to build a few simple circuits, set up the analyses, and run the
simulations. This tutorial covers:
Simple circuit analysis
Simulating a simple AC circuit
More circuit simulation
Setting up the analyses
Running the simulation
Mixed-mode simulation
Simple Circuit Analysis
Lets begin with a simple DC circuit:
1 Click the New button on the Toolbar.
This opens an untitled circuit window.
2 Click the Digital/Analog Simulation mode toggle button.
You know Circuit Maker is in Analog mode when the transistor icon, not the
AND gate icon, is visible on the Toolbar (see pictures at left). If the AND gate
icon is displayed (Digital mode), click the button to switch.
3 Draw the circuit using the following devices:
1 Battery [Analog/Power] (b)
1 Ground [Analog/Power] (0 (zero))
2 Resistors [Passive Components/Resistors] (r)

Note: Every analog circuit must have a Ground and every node in the circuit
must have a DC path to ground.
4 Use the Wire Tool to wire the circuit together (or the Arrow Tool when the
Arrow/Wire option is enabled).

15

5 Choose Simulation > Analyses Setup then click the Analog Options button
to display the dialog box
The third option (selected) lets you measure voltage, current, and power with
the Probe Tool.
6 From the Analysis data saved in RAW file group box, select the third option,
Node Voltage, Supply Current, Device Current and Power then click OK to
exit Analog Options. This option lets you to take current and power
measurements with the Probe Tool.
7 Click the Run Analyses button to start the simulation.
OR
Click Exit and click the Run Tool on the Toolbar.
An interactive SPICE simulation window appears during the SPICE data
collection process showing the progress of the simulation. When the SPICE data
collection process is completed, the Multimeter Window appears.
8 Click the wire connected to the + terminal of the battery with the tip of the
Probe Tool. Notice that the letter V appears on the Probe Tool when you move
it over a wire.
9 Click the wire connected between the two resistors. The DC voltage at that
node appears in the Multimeter Window. SPICE data is not collected for the
Ground node in the circuit; it is always at zero volts.
10 Click the + pin of the battery or one of the resistor pins.
Notice that an I displays on the Probe Tool when it is over a device pin.
The current through that device appears in the Multimeter Window.
11 Click directly on one of the resistors. Notice that a P displays on the Probe
Tool when over a device. The power dissipated by that resistor appears in the
Value Window.
12 Click the Stop button on the Toolbar to stop the simulation and return to
editing mode.
Creating a Simple RC Circuit
Now lets replace one of the resistors with a capacitor to create a simple RC
circuit where you can see the charging of the capacitor. Transient Analysis
begins its simulation in a stable DC condition where the capacitors are already
16

charged. Since you want to see the capacitor charging from time zero, you must
set the initial condition of the capacitor to 0V.
1 Using the Delete Tool on the Toolbar deletes the second resistor (the one
connected to ground) and the wire leading to it.
2 Replace the resistor with a Capacitor [Passive Components/ Capacitors] (c).
3 Select an .IC device [Analog/SPICE Controls] (I) and connect it to the wire
between the resistor and capacitor.
This will set an initial condition of 0V on the capacitor for the analysis. Your
circuit should now look like the one pictured in Figure

4 Run the simulation again by clicking the Run button on the Toolbar.
This time the Transient Analysis window (similar to an oscilloscope) appears.
5 Click the Transient Analysis window to select it, and then click with the tip of
the Probe Tool between the resistor and capacitor.
Notice a diagonal line across the scope. This is actually the beginning of the
charge curve for the capacitor. Your view of the curve is limited by start and
stop times of the Transient Analysis that were selected by default.
You now have the option of changing the Transient Analysis settings to increase
the size of the time segment that you can view with the scope, or you can reduce
the component values so the capacitor will charge quicker. For this example,
you will change the component values.
6 Stop the simulation by clicking the Stop button.
7 Double-click the Resistor to display the Edit Device Data dialog box.
8 Change the Label-Value from 1k to 100, and then click OK.

17

9 Double-click the Capacitor, change the Label-Value from 1uF to .001uF, and
then click OK.
10 Run the simulation again.
This time you will see the charge curve of the capacitor.

Simulating a Simple AC Circuit

Now lets create a simple AC circuit using a Signal Generator and two
Resistors:
1 Click the New button on the Toolbar.
2 Draw the circuit as shown in Figure 3.8, using the following devices:
1 Signal Gen [Analog/Instruments] (g)
1 Ground [Analog/Power] (0 (zero))
2 Resistors [Passive Components/Resistors] (r)
3 Use the Wire Tool to wire the circuit together (or the Arrow Tool when the
Arrow/Wire option is enabled).

4 Make sure you are in Analog simulation mode (the transistor icon is showing
on the simulation mode button), then run the simulation.
5 Click the Transient Analysis window to select it, and then click the wire
connected to the output of the Signal Generator. The sine wave appears on the
scope.
6 Hold down the Shift key and click the wire connected between the two
resistors. A second waveform appears on the scope.
7 Stop the simulation.
RESULT: -In This way we can simulate simple electrical circuits using circuit
maker.

controllers & PSS for SMIB system.
Software Platform Required: MATLAB
Theory: This is a systematic procedure for modelling and simulation of a power system
installed with a power system stabilizer (PSS) and a flexible ac transmission system
(FACTS)-based controller. For the design purpose, the model of example power system
which is a single-machine infinite-bus power system installed with the proposed controllers is
developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK. In the developed model synchronous generator is
represented by model 1.1. which includes both the generator main field winding and the
damper winding in q-axis so as to evaluate the impact of PSS and FACTS-based controller on
power system stability. The model can be can be used for teaching the power system stability
phenomena, and also for research works especially to develop generator controllers using
advanced technologies. Further, to avoid adverse interactions, PSS and FACTS-based
controller are simultaneously designed employing genetic algorithm (GA). The non-linear
simulation results are presented for the example power system under various disturbance
conditions to validate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling and simultaneous design
approach.

I. INTRODUCTION
ITH the advent of flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices [1], such as thyristor
controlled series compensator (TCSC), static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and
unified power flow controller (UPFC), the unified model of single-machine infinite-bus
(SMIB) power system installed with a TCSC, STATCOM and a UPFC have been developed
[2]-[4]. These models are the popular tools amongst power engineers for studying the
dynamic behavior of synchronous generators, with a view to design control equipment.
However, the model only takes into account the generator main field winding and the
generator damping windings are not accounted for. Further, these liner methods cannot
properly capture complex dynamics of the system, Power System with PSS and FACTS
Controller: Modelling, Simulation and Simultaneous Tuning Employing Genetic Algorithm
especially during major disturbances. This presents difficulties for designing the FACTS
controllers in that, the controllers designed to provide desired performance at small signal
condition do not guarantee acceptable performance in the event of major disturbances.
In [5], a systematic procedure for modeling, simulation and optimal tuning of TCSC
controller in a SMIB power system was presented where the MATLAB/SIMULINK based
model was developed and genetic algorithm (GA) was employed to design the TCSC
controller. However, the model only takes into account the generator main field winding and
the synchronous machine was represented by model 1.0. For more reasonable evaluation of a
SMIB power system with FACTS controller, a higher-order synchronous machine model
(model 1.1), which includes one damper winding along the q-axis, is reported in the literature
[6]. As power system stabilizers (PSS) are now routinely used in the industry, this paper
considers a SMIB power system installed with a PSS and a FACTS controller, where the
synchronous machine is represented by a higher order model (model 1.1).
The problem of PSS parameter tuning in the presence of FACTS-based controller is a
complex exercise, as uncoordinated local control of these controllers may cause destabilizing
interactions. To improve overall system performance, many researches were done on the
coordination between PSS and FACTS power oscillation damping (POD) controllers [7]-[9].
A number of conventional techniques have been reported in the literature pertaining to design
problems of conventional power system stabilizers namely: the eigenvalue assignment,
mathematical programming, gradient procedure for optimization and also the modern control
theory.
Unfortunately, the conventional techniques are time consuming as they are iterative and
require heavy computation burden and slow convergence. In addition, the search process is
susceptible to be trapped in local minima and the solution obtained may not be optimal [10].
GA is becoming popular for solving the optimization problems in different fields of
application, mainly because of their robustness in finding an optimal solution and ability to
provide a near-optimal solution close to a global minimum. Unlike strict mathematical
methods, the GA does not require the condition that the variables in the optimization problem
be continuous and different; it only requires that the problem to be solved can be computed.
GA employs search procedures based on the mechanics of natural selection and survival of
the fittest. The GAs, which use a multiple-point instead of a single-point search and work
with the coded structure of variables instead of the actual variables, require only the objective
function, thereby making searching for a global optimum simpler [11]. Therefore, in the
present work GA is employed to simultaneously tune the parameters of PSS and FACTS
29

controller. This paper is organized as follows. In Section II, the modeling of power system
under study, which is a SMIB power system with a PSS and a thyristor controlled series
compensator (TCSC), is presented. The proposed controller structures and problem
formulation are described in Section III. A short overview of GA is presented in Section IV.
Simulation results are provided and discussed in Section V and conclusions are given in
Section VI.
II. POWER SYSTEM UNDER STUDY
The SMIB power system with TCSC shown in Fig. 1 is considered in this study. The
synchronous generator is delivering power to the infinite-bus through a double circuit
transmission line and a TCSC. In Fig. 1, Vt and Eb are the generator terminal and infinite bus
voltage respectively; XT , X L and XTH represent the reactance of the transformer,
transmission line per circuit and the Thevenins impedance of the receiving end system
respectively.

TCSC is one of the most important and best known series FACTS controllers.
PROBLEM FORMULATION
A. Structure of the TCSC Controller
The structure of TCSC-based damping controller, to modulate the reactance offered by the
TCSC, XTCSC ( ) is shown in fig. The input signal of the proposed controllers is the speed
deviation (), and the output signal is the reactance offered by the TCSC, XTCSC ( ) . The
structure consists of a gain block with gain KT, a signal washout block and two-stage phase
compensation blocks. The signal washout block serves as a high-pass filter, with the time
constant TWT, high enough to allow signals associated with oscillations in input signal to
pass unchanged.
