Black-box Identification and Validation of an Induction Motor in an Experimental Application

Abstract

This article presents a simple approach to identify an induction motor model which is used in a traction control system for the purpose of slip prevention. In this study, an identified model has been extracted by real and identified parameters of the induction motor in the MATLAB, Simulink; as the purpose of this study is to identify a linear model for the induction motor, the speed control loops have been opened, therefore d-q voltages have been designed as the exiting inputs. After several considerations and examination, ARMAX model has been selected as a mathematical model in the identification process, then the open loop identified model has been replaced in the closed-loop structure, and by using the real data measurements, obtained from the closed-loop system in the Advanced Motion Control Laboratory, the open loop extracted model is verified.
