  • Description
The Clock block outputs the current simulation time at each simulation step. This block is useful for other blocks that need the simulation time. When you need the current time within a discrete system, use the Digital Clock block.


  • Data Type Support
The Clock block outputs a real-valued signal of type double.


  • Parameters and Dialog Box



  • Display time
Use the Display time check box to display the current simulation time inside the Clock icon.


  • Decimation
The Decimation parameter value is the increment at which the clock is updated; it can be any positive integer. For example, if the decimation is 1000, then, for a fixed integration step of 1 millisecond, the clock updates at 1 second, 2 seconds, and so on

Electric machines play an important role in industry as well as our day to day life. They are used to generate electrical power in power plants and provide mechanical work in industries. They are also an indispensable part of our daily lives. Electric machines are very important pieces of equipment in our everyday lives. The DC machine is considered to be basic electric machines.

The aim of this final year project is to introduce students to the modeling of power components and to use computer simulation as a tool for conducting transient and control studies. Simulation can be very helpful in gaining insights to the dynamic behavior and interactions that are often not readily apparent from reading theory. Simulation is often chosen by engineers to study transient and control performance or to test conceptual designs.

MATLAB/SIMULINK is used because of the short learning curve that most students require to start using it, its wide distribution, and its general purpose of nature. This will demonstrate the advantages of using MATLAB for analyzing power system steady-state behavior and its capabilities for simulating transients in power systems and power electronics, including control system dynamic behavior
