Our Verdict

This course is best suited for those looking for foundational knowledge on system modeling and PID controller implementation in MATLAB Simulink. However, the absence of advanced topics, Tesla Model S practical implementation, and adherence to industry standards may deter more experienced engineers.

What We Liked

Provides a solid understanding of modeling systems in MATLAB Simulink, which can be applied beyond electrical systems.
Includes a detailed overview of deriving mathematical equations for an electric DC motor and car movements.
Offers insights into implementing transfer functions and common Simulink blocks.
Demonstrates open loop and closed loop modeling using a basic PID controller.

Potential Drawbacks

Lacks practical implementation of an actual Tesla Model S battery or three-phase AC electrical machine.
Does not discuss advanced control strategies such as MTPA, cascading PI controllers, or coordinate transformation.
Design of PID controller uses a trial-and-error approach rather than following systematic calculations or optimization methods.
Fails to provide depth in Simulink implementation that meets industry standards, such as manipulating variables with an M-script.
