Constant-Parameter Voltage-Behind-Reactance Induction Machine Model Including Main Flux Saturation

摘要

Interfacing of electrical machine models with ac power networks has a significant impact on numerical accuracy and efficiency in state-variable-based transient simulation programs. This paper continues the recent work in this area by proposing a new explicit constant-parameter voltage-behind-reactance (VBR) induction machine model that includes main flux saturation and allows a direct interface to any external network. The proposed model uses numerical approximations to achieve a decoupled interfacing circuit with constant branches that is easy to use in many simulation programs. Computer studies demonstrate that the proposed model provides high numerical accuracy for machines with a diverse range of parameters, even at fairly large integration step sizes.
