How to Model a Fast-Response Induction Machine for Variable Load Simulations?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling a fast-response induction machine for variable load simulations, specifically for a design concept involving a small 3-phase squirrel cage motor. The challenge lies in the absence of a fixed operating point and the need for a simple model that accurately represents the stator effects at the end of a 3-phase supply. The user has previously modeled a permanent magnet BLDC motor but finds the induction machine more complex due to the coupling between stator and rotor equations. Suggestions include using differential equations for transient time-domain simulations instead of state-space modeling, which is deemed unsuitable for real-time applications. Resources and models available in Simulink are also mentioned as potential aids for the simulation process.

I'm modelling an induction machine used as a fast-response drive that provides on-demand additional power to a manually operated lever.
My problem is I have no fixed operating point, the motor operates at high speeds but only for a maximum of 10 seconds at a time. I'm also modelling this out of the blue, its a design concept; which means I can't measure or test anything. I do have a preconception of the motor or what it should look like: a small 3phase squirrel cage (Type B or D I guess), with a max. output torque of around 4 N.m
My problem is: I need to be able to design a model (as simple as possible) that would accurately recreate the stator i.e. the effect of having this machine at the end of a 3phase supply.
I have already done this on a permanent magnet BLDCM but that's much more simple because there is no real coupling between stator and rotor equations (there is no rotor:wink: ) which reduces the outcome equation to a first order (PT-1) system... mere child's play. I then proceed to implement my simulation to electronically controlled loadboards (controllable V-R-L hardware circuit that would simulate the effect of having the BLDCM, or any other load for that matter, in control circuits).
I have already simulated the induction machine in state-space but that's not very helpful as I can't decouple a clear yet concise simulation i.e. equation/s representing phase voltages/currents for the stator which would then be easy to implement on the load boards, and needless to say a state-space based model that has variable parameters isn't exactly a real time system's best friend.:confused:
My end target is to have this in abc coordinates but a solution in dq wouldn't be unwelcome... :redface:
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

It is unclear from your question, but a transient time-domain simulation is probably what you are asking about. State space is not the way to do that. Differential equations are the right approach.

A google search reveals many models, some in Simulink. Here is one from another approach.

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
