Analysis and Performance Evaluation of ThreePhase Induction Motor Model with Zero Quadrature Axis Flux Component
Abstract
Modeling of three phase induction motor has been extensively discussed in literature. Several models have been developed and applied by different authors to solve different problems. This paper presents a differentmodel of the symmetrical three phase induction motor in which there is an alignment of the direct axis component of the rotor flux vector to direct axis of the reference frame. The alignment reduces the quadrature axis flux component to zero, removes the dependencies associated with the d-q components of the stator current and simplifies the rotor dynamics. The model is not commonly used in literature to study motor behavior when vector control is not the objective. The model is analyzed in the synchronous reference frame and simulated. Simulation results for torque, speed and flux in the motor are presented. Also presented are the waveforms of stator voltages and currents in both the d – q and a-b-c reference frames and the rotor d-q axis currents. These results provide a correct description of the three phase induction motor behavior under load and no-load conditions.
