An Insight into the Time Domain Phenomenon during the Transition Zone from Induction Motor to Synchronous Motor Mode for a Current Source Inverter Fed Synchronous Motor Drive System

摘要

Modeling of synchronous motor plays a dominant role in designing complicated drive system for different applications, especially large blower fans etc., for steel industries. As synchronous motor has no inherent starting torque generally it is started as an induction motor with the help of a damper winding and it pulls into synchronism under certain conditions. The present study exactly concentrates on this particular zone of transition from induction motor to synchronous motor mode for a current source inverter fed synchronous motor drive system. Due to complexity of synchronous motor in terms of number of windings and finite amount of air gap saliency, direct modeling of such transition zone in time domain becomes cumbersome at the first instance of modeling. That is why firstly the modeling is presented in complex frequency domain and then the time domain modeling is obtained by applying inverse Laplace transform technique. Apparently it seems to be a straight forward mathematical treatment but involvement of Convolution Integral for converting the formulation from s-domain to time domain becomes a matter of interest and it may draw the attention of various researchers working in this area. Furthermore the time domain response of the disturbance function may help a designer to fix up the time instant when the pull in phenomenon will be imposed by throwing the field winding to a DC supply.
