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.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
