Induction motor braking using Discrete Frequency Control

This paper presents the conventional methods of braking of Induction motor that is regenerative, plugging, and Dynamic braking. Due to dynamic braking a strong call of current occurs and reaches upto 7pu which limits its use. Other methods lags due to torque requirement of Induction motor. To overcome these drawbacks a new method Discrete Frequency Control(DFC) is used. The proposed method results are obtained by MATLAB simulation.
