Doubly-Fed Induction Machine

This block implements a doubly-fed induction machine (DFIM)

The DFIM block implements a three-phase induction machine (asynchronous machine) with an accessible wound rotor model with resolvers and encoders. The machine can operate in both motoring mode, when the mechanical torque is positive, and generating mode when the mechanical torque is negative.

Model Formulation

Q-d Transformation

The 3-phase to q-d transformation and the inverse used for the model are:

The induction machine model uses the rotor as a reference, thus the angle of theta_r.

Induction Machine Electrical Model

Induction machine models in state-space framework are based on magnetic fluxes. The state variables and winding currents (as the outputs) can be represented as follows:

where the coefficient matrices are as follows:

and

The Induction Machine is modeled in rotor reference frame so ω=ωr.

In the model, all the rotor parameters and variables are seen from the stator distinguished by a prime sign. The stator to rotor turn ratio (Nsr) is applied as follows to transfer input three-phase rotor voltage to the stator side, and transfer back the output three-phase rotor current measurements to the rotor side:  

The electrical torque is calculated as follows:

Parameters and Measurements

The DFIM's parameters and measurements are separated in 4 different tabs, Electrical, Mechanical, Resolver and Encoder.

Visualization of Resolver Encoder Parameters effects

Number of resolver pole pairs affects the number of electrical turns per mechanical turns. On the left figure, the number of resolver pole pairs is 2, on the right figure, the number of resolver pole pairs is 4.

Resolver sine cosine gains affect the sine ( first axe ) and cosine ( second axe ) modulation output. Default values set to 1, 0, 0, 1 make it so the sine modulation has a sine form and the cosine modulation has a cosine form. If set to 0, 1, 1, 0, the sine modulation would have a cosine and the cosine modulation would have a sine form.

Excitation frequency, in AC excitation source type, affects the frequency of the carrier signal. We can see the time step highlighted in red. ( Figure 3 is a zoomed in view of Figure 2 )

Number of pulses per revolution (Qppr) defines how many times signals A and B pulse between two Z pulses ( one full rotation ).

Direction of the sensor rotation describes if A leads B ( Clockwise ) or if B leads A ( Counterclockwise )

Electrical ports

  • This block has six electrical ports, the three terminals of the stator on the left side and three terminals of the rotor on the right side.
