The IEEE NSU Power and Energy Society Student Branch Chapter successfully organized the workshop titled “Workshop on Advanced MATLAB & Simulink for Renewable Energy Research" on 9th August 2025 at LIB607, North South University. This insightful workshop was conducted by Mohammad Shafayet Hossain, a Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North South University and an alumnus of NSU. He has a deep passion for power systems and is recognized for his extensive knowledge and impressive problem-solving skills.
The session began at 6:00 PM with a welcome remark. Following the opening remarks, Mohammad Shafayet Hossain introduced himself and provided an overview of MATLAB and SIMULINK. These two tools are essential for every Electrical and Electronic Engineering student, both for academic purposes and for conducting research in renewable energy. He explained how these tools enable users to design and test electrical systems on a computer, saving time and money by eliminating the need to construct physical models.
Mr. Shafayet discussed the applications of MATLAB and Simulink in key areas, including power system modeling, simulation, control design, and data analysis, with a specific focus on the integration of renewable energy in modern power systems. He covered real-time testing and verification, as well as the design aspects of MATLAB and SIMULINK. As a practical example, he demonstrated how to use a photovoltaic (PV) plant to convert direct current (DC) power from solar panels into alternating current (AC) power, showing how this process can be simulated using Simulink. He also provided training on simulating power electronic circuits with MATLAB and Simulink. His demonstrations included PV system modelling, converter design, and analysis of switching losses. Additionally, he introduced participants to MATLAB-Python integration, enhancing computational capabilities.
To help students continue learning after the workshop, Mr. Shafayet Hossain sir recommended two useful books: Simulation of Power Electronics Circuits with MATLAB/Simulink by Farzin Asadi and Power Electronics with MATLAB by L. Ashok Kumar. He also encouraged everyone to visit the official MATLAB website and its YouTube channel for tutorials, examples, and practice materials to further develop their skills.
An interactive Q&A session was held, during which students asked questions and received valuable answers. All participants were awarded certificates for attending the workshop. After the session, light refreshments were served, and the event concluded with a group photo.
The event successfully bridged theoretical knowledge with practical skills in power electronics and renewable energy system simulation. The integration of MATLAB & Simulink with real-time design principles provided participants with valuable expertise applicable to both academic research and industrial applications.
