Abstract

The extensive electrification process that is taking hold in several applications makes increasingly necessary the virtualization of electric components for energetic and performance assessments during the system design stage. For this purpose, this paper proposes a straightforward methodology for computing the efficiency maps of induction machines operated in wide torque-speed ranges. The modeling approach is based on the induction machine equivalent circuit defined in the rotor dq coordinates. The procedure allows computing a set of efficiency maps at different machine temperatures and supply voltage levels, both for motor and generator operation modes. The equivalent circuit parameters at different frequencies and voltages are determined by means of the well-known no-load and locked-rotor tests, thus including in the modelling the machine nonlinearities, skin effect and the iron losses. The proposed methodology has been validated on a 10 kW, 4-pole induction machine. The comparison between computed and experimental efficiency maps for different operating conditions, confirm the validity of the proposed methodology.
