Dynamic electromagnetic torque model and parameter estimation for a deep-bar induction machine

A dynamic analytical electromagnetic torque model for a deep-bar induction machine is presented. The model is based on the space-vector theory of electrical machines. The parameters are estimated using the data provided by the numerical impulse response test performed within the two-dimensional time-stepping finite element analysis. Two different impulse tests are studied. The impulse excitation is applied to the stator voltage and rotor position angle, and the parameter estimates are compared. The applicability of the impulse test is based on the assumption of linear behaviour in the neighbourhood of an operation point. Hence, one of the main objectives is to study the validity of the impulse test. From the results of the angle impulse test, a frequency range of negative damping is detected. The phenomenon is also studied by measurements.
