Model Parameters of Electric Motors for Desired Operating Conditions

Abstract

Researchers dealing with electric motor control simulations need motor parameters for some desired operating conditions. Despite such an obvious need, no algorithm yielding motor parameters can be found even for the basic set of desired "voltage, output power, speed and efficiency" in the literature. A lot of electric motor design methods exist; but all give the physical design parameters for manufacturing such as numbers and dimensions of slots, magnets and turns. They are usually based on design requirements that only experienced people can understand and the mentioned basic demand set is not completely included among them. This article covers the deficiency of the algorithms giving all the model parameters required for the control simulations for dc servo, induction, and synchronous motors according to simple design requirements that an inexperienced researcher can easily understand. A transformer design algorithm is also included. The induction motor and salient-pole synchronous motor algorithms are the main contributions. The propositions can be used even if the demands are given for generator mode with some care. These algorithms may also be considered as another kind of design and they may help to reduce physical designs to lower-level steps according to simple design requirements.
