Assessment:   Assignment  3
Due:                 2015
Marks:            300




1    (worth 40  marks)

1.1     Introduction

To assess how useful the wind power could be as an energy source, use the file ass2data.xls to calculate  the total  energy available  in the wind for each year of data.


1.2     Requirements

For this assessment item, you must  produce  MATLAB  code which:

1.  Calculates  the total  energy for each of the years.

2.  Reports  to the Command  Window the energy for each year.

3.  Briefly discusses whether  there  is any trend  in the results  for annual  energy production.

4.  Has appropriate comments  throughout.

You must  also calculate  the  total  energy  for the  first  four hours  of power  data  (i.e.  over the  first  five data  entries)  by  hand  to  verify  your  code;  submit  this  working  in  a  pdf  file. Your MATLAB  code must  test  (verify)  whether  the  computed  value of energy is the  same as calculated  by hand.


1.3     Assessment Criteria

Your code will be assessed using the following scheme.  Note that you are marked  based on how well you perform for each category,  so the correct answer determined in a basic way will receive half marks  and the correct  answer determined using an excellent method/code will receive full marks.

Quality  of calculation  of the energy for each year

2    (worth 65  marks)

2.1     Introduction

For the  wind turbines  to operate  effectively, they  must  turn  to face into  the  wind.  This could create large stresses in the structure if the wind changes direction  quickly while the wind speed is high.  You are to assess if this is likely to happen  using the data  in ass2data.xls.


2.2     Requirements

For this assessment item, you must  produce  MATLAB  code which:
1.  Calculates  the instantaneous rate  of change of wind direction  using: (a)  backward  differences
(b)  forward differences
(c)  central  differences

2.  Plots  the three  sets of derivatives  as functions  of time.

3.  Produces  scatter plots of maximum  wind gust as functions  of each of the derivatives.

4.  Displays a message in the Command  Window with a brief discussion of the scatter plots.
Discuss which of the derivatives  should be used to compare  with the wind gust and why. Discuss whether  you think  the  wind changes direction  too quickly while the  wind speed is high and why.

5.  Has appropriate comments  throughout.

You must also use a backward  difference, forward difference and central  difference by hand to determine  the rate  of change of wind direction  for the twelfth data  entry;  submit  this working in a pdf  file.  Your  MATLAB  code must  test  (verify)  whether  these  values  are  the  same  as computed  by the code for the three  differences.


2.3     Assessment Criteria

Your code will be assessed using the following scheme.  Note that you are marked  based on how well you perform for each category,  so the correct answer determined in a basic way will receive half marks  and the correct  answer determined using an excellent method/code will receive full marks.

Quality  of header(s)  and comments

3.1     Introduction

A small non-switching  power supply  is being designed  and  the  components  must  be selected so that the  voltage  in the  circuit  never falls below Vmin .  The voltage  in the  circuit,  vc, can be found using Eq. (1) during  the charging  phase [when Eq. (2) is satisfied]:

C dvc(t)
dt


+ ic     =


|vt cos(2πf t)| 2Vd vc(t)
2Rd


(1)
vc(t)     |vt cos(2πf t)| 2Vd                                                                            (2)

and using Eq. (3) during  the discharging  phase [when Eq. (4) is satisfied]:

dvc(t)
C    dt    + ic     =  0                                                                            (3)
vc(t)  >   |vt cos(2πf t)| 2Vd .                                           (4)

The  variables  in Eqs.  (1)–(4)  are the  capacitance, C , the  current through  the  circuit,  ic,  the transformed AC voltage, vt , the frequency of the AC power, f , the voltage across the diode, Vd , and the resistance  across the diode, Rd .
For  your assignment,  the  values for these  quantities are (note  that all quantities are in SI
units):

Vmin
=
4.1949 V
(5)
C
=
8.3052 × 10−5 F
(6)
ic
=
0.59336 × 10−2 A
(7)
vt
=
1.0391 × 2 VAC
(8)
f
=
2.4768 × 10 Hz
(9)
Vd
=
7.9472 × 10−1 V
(10)
Rd
=
8.9797 × 10−2 .
(11)
(Note that these values are indicative  of the order of magnitude that these variables  might take
and are not necessarily within  the limited  range that is used in practice.)

(a)  Your task is to simulate  the system for three cycles to determine  whether  vc is always larger than  Vmin , in which  case the  components  have  been  satisfactorily selected.   Your  initial condition  should  be chosen so that the  equality  is satisfied  in Eq.  (2).   Use the  following methods  to simulate  the system:

(i)  Euler’s method  in MATLAB.  You must  report  to  the  Command  Window  the  value used for ∆t.
(ii)  ode45 in MATLAB (iii)  ode23 in MATLAB

(b)  Your  task  is to  see how  long it  takes  for vc  to  charge  to  Vmin ,  starting with  an  initial condition  of vc = 0 and assuming  that the system  never enters  the discharging  phase.  Use the following methods  to simulate  the system:

(i)  Euler’s method  in Simulink
(ii)  ode45 in Simulink
(iii)  ode23 in Simulink

Note that for part  (a), only moderate  accuracy is required for the simulation  (it is not necessary to precisely simulate  vc  unless its smallest  value is very close to Vmin ).



3.2     Requirements

For this assessment item, you must  produce  MATLAB  code and Simulink modules which:

1.  Simulate  Eqs. (1)–(4)  using the three  methods  listed in MATLAB.

2.  Plots  the  simulated  vc(t) for each method,  clearly  indicating  the  value  of Vmin  on each graph.  Non-dimensionalise  the value of time by multiplying  by f ; non-dimensionalise  the voltage using (vt 2Vd ).  Non-dimensionalisation allows you to compare cases of different scale directly  because the results  are proportional to the non-dimensionalising parameter.

3.  Displays a message in the Command  Window stating  whether  vc(t) is always greater  than
Vmin  for each of the methods.

4.  Simulates  Eq. (1) using Simulink.

5.  Produces  a plot using Simulink showing when vc(t) reaches Vmin .

6.  Displays within  Simulink when vc(t) reaches Vmin .

7.  Produces  output to  MATLAB  so that MATLAB  can  report  to  the  Command  Window the simulated  times for vc(t) to reach Vmin .

8.  Has appropriate comments  throughout.

You must  also verify your  simulation  using Euler’s method  in MATLAB  for the  first two timesteps of part  (ai); submit  this working in a pdf file. Your MATLAB code must test  (verify) whether  the value of vc  after two timesteps is the same as computed  by the code.


3.3     Assessment Criteria

Your code will be assessed using the following scheme.  Note that you are marked  based on how well you perform for each category,  so the correct answer determined in a basic way will receive half marks  and the correct  answer determined using an excellent method/code will receive full marks.

4.1     Introduction

A smoke alarm  sounds  at  1 kHz and  PL = 75 dB.  You are to determine  whether  these  speci- fications are satisfactory for the chosen application of a corridor  of length  L.  The propagation of sound is based on the sound pressure  p (the  pressure  increase from ambient pressure  in Pa), where the appropriate transport equation  is:
