Fractional Identification of Rotor Skin Effect in Induction Machines

Fractional identification of rotor skin effect in induction machines is presented in this paper. Park‘s transformation is used to obtain a system of differential equations which allows to include the skin effect in the rotor bars of asynchronous machines. A transfer function with a f ractional derivative order has been selected to represent the admittance of the bar by the help of a non integer integrator which is approximated by a J+1 dimensional modal system. The machine parameters are estimated by an output-error technique using a non l inear iterative optimization algorithm. Numerical simulations and experimental results show the performance of the modal approach for modeling and identification.
