The dynamic induction motor model was derived in relatively simple terms by using the concept of space vectors in d-q variables based on two-axis theory equations and the space phasor notation. A synchronous reference frame in which rotor flux lies on the d-axis was chosen with simplified dynamic equations and torque expressions. This research work presents these models with typical results and provides guidelines for their use for the dynamic simulation of small power induction motor based on mathematical modelling. An on-line dynamic simulation experiment was carried out to determine the induction motor parameters using MATLAB/Simulink program. The results obtained showed that the induction motor performs better under no-load. For satisfactory and better performance under load condition, controller will have to be introduced. Keywords: Dynamic induction motor; d-q reference frame; dynamic simulation; modeling; space vectors; steady and dynamic states. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]; Oyedepo and Jiya; BJAST, 13(2): 1-11, 2016; Article no.BJAST.21969 1. INTRODUCTION models must incorporate the essential element of both electromagnetic and the mechanic system In recent years the control of high performance for both steady state and transient operating induction motor drives for general industrial conditions [3]. Additionally, since modern electric applications and production automation has machines are variably fed from switching power received widespread research interests. conversion stages, the developed motor models Induction machine modeling has continuously should be valid for arbitrary applied voltage and attracted the attention of researchers not only current waveforms. This work presents suitable because such machines are made and used in models for use in current control of the induction large numbers but also due to their varied modes motors. In addition, the limits of the validity of of operation both under steady and dynamic these models are summarized and, in some states. In an electric drive system the machine is cases, the models are extended to account for a part of the control system elements. To be able some non-idealities of the machine. to control the dynamic of the drive system, dynamic behavior of the machine need to be Along with variable frequency AC converters, considered. The dynamic behavior of induction induction motors are used in many adjustable motor can be described using dynamic model speed applications which do not require fast of induction machine, which considers the dynamic response.

In order to understand and The practice of modeling and simulation saves analyze vector control, the dynamic model of the time, and reduces the cost of building a induction motor is necessary. It has been found prototype, and most importantly it ensures that that the dynamic model equations developed on the requirements are being achieved. Also a a rotating reference frame is easier to describe simple per phase equivalent circuit model of an the characteristics of induction motors. The induction motor is of great interest in the analysis objective of this research work is to derive and and performance prediction at steady-state explain induction motor model in relatively simple conditions. The steady-state induction motor terms by using the concept of space vectors in d model is therefore an equivalent circuit with – q variables. It will be shown that when a respect to the stator and can easily be synchronous reference frame in which rotor flux established from the short-circuited transformer- lies on the d-axis is chosen, dynamic equations equivalent circuit [1]. So the dynamic d-q model of the induction motor is simplified and of the induction motor based on the Park’s analogous to a DC motor. transformation is being considered for this research work. 2.
