Project Simulation of Induction Motor Drives
Objectives
To investigate characteristics of two induction motor speed control systems.
Part A: Induction motor v/f speed control using square wave operation
A.1 Model Building Build the Simulink model according to the block diagram shown in Fig. 1. You may use some of the models you built in the previous lab sessions. The parameters of the induction motor speed control system are as follows.
Induction motor DC link resistor Low pass filter
Power Supply Load torque Other constants
Nameplate data: 3, 3hp, 220V, 8.4A (rated) and 1710rpm. Use the motor parameters given in Table 4.10-1, P165, textbook. Add a resistor in the dc link. This resistor represents the power loss of the SCR rectifier and dc link bus. The equivalent resistance is 0.5. This is a second order lower pass filter with dc gain k = 1 and quality factor Q = 1. The corner frequency of the filter should be the same as the reference frequency of the drive. The LP filter is used to extract the fundamental component from the square wave output voltage Van. 60Hz, 127V per phase. 12.5N.m (rated torque) Kv = 0.95/60 and Vcomp = 0.

A.2 Simulation tasks 1) Run the Simulink model and determine the value of the dc link capacitor such that the dc link voltage ripple is limited to 10% when the inverter operates at 20Hz with a rated V/f and the motor operates with rated torque. Plot the steady state waveforms of vdo and vdc (e.g., 2 cycles of the supply frequency). 2) Start the drive system until a steady state operation is reached. Complete the following table. Inverter Output Frequency [Hz] 60 45 30 15 5
Van (Fundamental, peak, steady state)

Van (Fundamental, rms) V / f Ratio (Volts,rms/Hz) Steady State Speed n (rpm) Synchronous Speed ns (rpm) Slip Speed (ns - n) 3) To compensate the voltage drop on stator winding resistance at low frequencies, let Kv = 0.9/60 and Vcomp = 0.05. Run the drive system and complete the following table. Inverter Output Frequency [Hz] 60 45 30 15 5
Van (Fundamental, peak, steady state)

Van (Fundamental, rms) V / f Ratio (Volts,rms/Hz) Steady State Speed n (rpm) Synchronous Speed ns (rpm) Slip Speed (ns - n) 4) Start the drive system at 60Hz under the operating conditions given in 2) until a steady state operation is reached. Plot the transient waveforms of motor speed n, stator current Ia, motor torque Te, diode rectifier output voltage Vdo and inverter input voltage Vdc. 5) Since you are not using a ramp limiter to soften the rate in which the reference frequency is applied, how does this affect your initial current and torque?
