Teaching of Simulation an Adjustable Speed Drive of Induction Motor Using MATLAB/Simulink in Advanced Electrical Machine Laboratory

Abstract

The simulation of motor complicated applications conventionally can be a challenge for both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. To easy implementation for several kinds of control structures of an induction motor (IM) drive, some simulators such as MATLAB/Simulink to be necessary-especially for students-to develop and test various motor control algorithms in conducting electrical machines courses. In this paper, how to teach and simulate an adjustable speed drive of IM using Simulink blocks for an indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) algorithm is presented. The effectiveness of the adjustable IM drive is verified by simulation results at different operating conditions over a wide speed range.
