Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of electronic emulation of both
linear and nonlinear mechanical loads using a vector-controlled
induction machine dynamometer. It is shown that a basic emulation scheme
where the dynamometer torque demand is derived from the inverse dynamics
of the emulated load is not generally viable, especially if the emulated
load is part of a closed-loop speed control system. A new feedforward
speed-tracking control scheme for the dynamometer is presented, which
preserves the load dynamics and allows for emulation of a large class of
nonlinear loads. An experimental rig is described using
vector-controlled induction machines as the drive motor and dynamometer,
and experimental results showing excellent emulation of both linear and
nonlinear load dynamics are presented
