Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor based on Finite Element Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine. Each of these components is simulated in different software environments. So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLABSimulink environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of different drive's components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions, a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform.

Study and analysis the effect of variable applied voltage on SCIM performances based on FEA

“…It has been applied to resolve the Maxwell's equations to search the action of the magnetic field in time and frequency range. In this research, modeling and simulation of SCIM employing FEM coming from through three steps: pre-processing, processing and post-processing [9][10][11]. Using pre-processing step, the dimension and geometry of the SCIM is realized.…”

Error-correcting Coding Usage for Data Transmission Through Power Lines

“…MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment is chosen for solution of the set tasks due to the fact that it enables to use ready block libraries for simulation of power supply, mechanical and hydraulic systems, as well as to employ an advanced model-oriented approach to design of control systems, digital communication techniques and real-time devices. Simulink environment has also shown good results in simulation of various electrical motors and devices for power supply electronics [9][10][11].…”

Simulation Models of Energy Cables in SPICE

“…Accurate analysis of EMI in power converter systems for drives requires high frequency circuit models of all the components in the system. A commercial tool, ANSYS-Simplorer that integrates multiple modelling technologies has been used to simulate the power electronic converter system [13]. Further this work used, finite element analysis based ANSYS-Maxwell to obtain the high frequency behavioral model of induction motor and Matlab-Simulink to simulate its control and study faults caused by different drive's components.…”
