A Novel Method for Modeling Magnetic Saturation in the Main Flux of Induction Machine

摘要

The phenomenon of saturation of electric machines constitutes an important subject of investigation in electrical engineering. This paper presents a new modeling technique for saturation in the case of induction machines. Necessary calculations to introduce this technique in the linear flux model are presented. Computed results and experimental tests on the transients of the self-excited induction generator are clearly compared. These experimental and computed results agree closely, validating the proposed technique as well as the developed model.
