A unified method for modeling and simulation of three phase induction motor drives

This paper presents a new approach for modeling and simulating the dynamic behavior of a large, interconnected, nonlinear, time-varying physical system consisting of a three-phase induction motor drive. An example of a vector-controlled induction motor shows that the proposed method is very accurate and very fast. The proposed simulation method and algorithm are expected to overcome some of the disadvantages of the existing methods. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the capabilities and flexibility of the simulation technique. A comparative evaluation with PSIM results is also provided to confirm the simplicity and the accuracy of the proposed unified method.
