In addition to the previous approaches using the current space vector as the state variable, new models are also developed using the flux-linkage space vector, which leads to more convenient time-integration of the voltage equations. In order to account for the zero-sequence effects in delta connection, the models also include either the zero-sequence flux or current as an additional state variable. Finally, the possibilities of deriving the required quantities as partial derivatives of the magnetic field energy are discussed. The energy-based approaches avoid inaccuracies related to torque computation and thus allow better satisfying the power balance in the state-space model. We show the ability of the developed state-space models to predict the currents and torque equally to a nonlinear time-stepping FE model with much less computational burden. The results are validated by means of measurements for a prototype machine in both star and delta connections. In addition, we also demonstrate the effect of the zero-sequence current on the torque ripple in case of a delta-connected stator winding.

The estimation methods are based on the time-harmonic and time-stepping FE analyses. The parameters are estimated in a wide operation range. The main purpose of the paper is to study how the steady-state and small-signal parameters vary in the case of a cage-induction machine designed for a frequency converter supply. The estimation is performed at 13 different supply frequencies. At every frequency, several flux levels are studied. Slips that provide the best efficiency are looked for and the parameters are estimated at these points. For comparison, the parameters of a typical grid-supplied cage-induction machine are also estimated at several slips and flux levels.

Inductances are allowed to saturate as a function of their own current (or flux), and the mutual saturation effect originating mainly from closed or skewed rotor slots is also included in the model. The model fulfills the reciprocity conditions, and it can applied to parameter estimation and to the analysis and development of flux angle estimation methods. The model is applied to estimating the parameters of a 37-kW deep-bar cage-induction machine, using the data from time-stepping finite-element analysis (FEA). The proposed model fits very well to the FEA data in a wide frequency range.

The angle-dependence of the admittance can be used in the estimation of the flux angle, and it should be taken into account when identifying motor parameters. In this paper, the small-signal admittance of a 2.2-kW induction motor is measured at different excitation frequencies and operating points. The measured admittances are compared to data obtained by means of finite element analysis (FEA). A small-signal model of the induction motor is fitted to the admittances to analyze the results. The admittances obtained from FEA and laboratory experiments correspond well to each other, particularly at low excitation frequencies.

The proposed model fits well to the data, and the fitted parameters are physically reasonable.

An electronically controlled braking resistor across the dc link is not used. Instead, the power regenerated during braking is dissipated in the motor while a dc-link overvoltage controller limits the braking torque. Losses in the motor are increased by an optimum flux-braking controller, maximizing either the stator voltage or the stator current depending on the speed. Below the rated speed, the braking times are comparable to those achieved using a braking resistor. The proposed braking scheme is very simple and causes no additional torque ripple. Experimental results obtained using a 2.2-kW induction motor drive show that the proposed scheme works well.
