THE APPLICATION OF TRANSMISSION-LINE MODELING TO THE SIMULATION OF ANINDUCTION-MOTOR DRIVE

The simulation of a complete induction motor drive is presented. The e ntire network is modelled using the Transmission-Line Modelling (TLM) technique. The network is split into three sections which are solved i ndependently and are joined together by link transmission-line models. Advantages of this approach are the explicit nature of the algorithm which remains unaltered irrespective of the network topology, uncondit ional stability, and straightforward modelling of switching elements. Results are presented for a complete drive which illustrate the capabi lities and flexibility of the simulation technique.
