An interactive three-phase electrical system educational tool using matlab app designer

This project develops an interactive educational tool using MATLAB App Designer to enhance the understanding of three-phase electrical systems, addressing the limitations of traditional teaching methods in conveying concepts such as phase sequence, balanced loads, and power relationships. The tool features intuitive layouts for phase sequence determination, balanced load analysis, three phase system parameter calculations, power triangle visualization, and one-line diagram modelling, enabling users to input values, simulate system behaviour, and observe detailed voltage and current waveforms, power calculations, and phase relationships in real time, altogether six layouts development. The methodology includes designing a user-friendly interface, structured workflows with block diagrams and flowcharts, and iterative testing to ensure accuracy and usability. The tools also equipped with pre-defined inputs for user as reference. Results show that the developed tool successfully generates outputs accurately for each developed layout and they were validated theoretically. In addition, this tool offers detailed simulations with the aids of waveforms and diagrams to enhance users’ understanding on the three-phase system. Ultimately, this comprehensive tool serves as a valuable resource for electrical engineering students and educators as educational tool by improving engagement and comprehension by experiential learning.
