IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion 2015. Abstract-A common practice in induction machine parameter identification techniques is to use external measurements of voltage, current, speed, and/or torque. Using this approach, it has been shown that it is possible to obtain an infinite number of mathematical solutions representing the machine parameters. This paper examines the identifiability of two commonly used induction machine models, namely the T-model (the conventional per phase equivalent circuit) and the inverse Γ-model. A novel approach based on the Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE) algorithm is employed here for the first time to study the identifiability of the two induction machine models. The results obtained from the proposed ACE algorithm show that the parameters of the commonly employed T-model are unidentifiable, unlike the parameters of the inverse Γ-model which are uniquely identifiable from external measurements. The identifiability analysis results are experimentally verified using the measured operating characteristics of a 1.1 kW three-phase induction machine in conjunction with the Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) algorithm which is developed and applied here for this purpose.

This paper is focusing on the stability analysis of the voltage mode control buck converter controlled by pulse-width modulation (PWM). Using two different approaches, the nonlinear phenomena are investigated in two terms, slow scale and fast scale bifurcation. A complete design-oriented approach for studying the stability of dc-dc power converters and its bifurcation has been introduced. The voltage waveforms and attractors obtained from the circuit simulation have been studied. With the onset of instability, the phenomenon of subharmonics oscillations, quasi-periodicity, bifurcations, and chaos have been observed
