Transient analysis of three-phase induction machine using different reference frames

Three-phase induction machines are generally used as motors for many industrial applications and all this is due to its simple construction and other advantages in contrast to other machines. Popularity of these motors has resulted into a lot of research including the transient behavior of the machine. Literature survey reveals that most of the researchers adopted only a single reference frame to estimate transient behavior of the machine. In this paper qd axis based modeling is proposed to analyze the transient performance of three-phase squirrel cage induction motor using stationary reference frame, rotor reference frame and synchronously rotating reference frame. Simulated results have been compared and verified with experimental results on a test machine. A close agreement between the simulated and experimental results proves the validity of proposed modeling. The proposed system has been developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
