Induction Machine Equations in Arbitrary, Synchronous Reference Frames — Lesson 2

This lesson covers the process of converting three-phase to two-phase conversion and the simplification of the machine equations. The lesson also discusses the concept of the stationary frame and the synchronous reference frame. It further elaborates on the small signal modeling of the induction machine equations. For instance, if we consider an induction machine operating under steady state and apply certain disturbances, the equations for the steady state should still be valid.

Key Takeaways

- The transformation of induction machine equations involves converting from a three-phase system to a two-phase system.
- The stationary frame is a reference frame that does not rotate, making the numerical evaluation less complex.
- The synchronous reference frame rotates at the same speed as the rotor, making all variables DC and simplifying the analysis.
- Small signal modeling involves applying small disturbances to the input variables and observing the response of the system. This can be used to derive the small signal model of the induction machine.
