DQ modeling of induction motor for virtual flux measurement

Abstract

Three phase induction motors are continuing to remain as work horses in industrial applications. The accurate behavioral modeling of induction motor helps in designing controller for the machine and also useful in detection of faults in machines. Almost all faults in the induction motor affect the flux in the air gap. These fluxes can be measured virtually using dq model of induction motor by feeding voltage and current values extracted in real time and stored. In this paper, DQ model is developed in stator reference frame using MATLAB-SIMULINK platform and a data acquisition system supported with LabVIEW is used to obtain motor terminal voltage and current signals which are useful in estimation of flux in an actual machine. �2010 IEEE.
