Performance of Traction System with Induction Motor and Rotor Field Orientation by Voltage Control

This paper presents the performance of the traction system with induction motor and rotor field orientation by voltage control. The synthesized control system was implemented on a physical model developed for the electric traction of a locomotive powered by a battery. After introducing the rotor field-orientation by voltage control, the system model, results and performances are presented. Then, the experimental results validate the proposed control algorithm.
