Summary: | This paper investigates an induction machine with a novel concept of the rotor fed by a converter. The stator is Y-connected and directly connected to the grid, while the rotor windings are open-ended and fed by a back-to-back converter with a floating capacitor. Power factor and efficiency improvements of the induction motor are studied with different settings of phase-shift angle between the two converters. Moreover, the dynamic performance of the induction machine is explored in MATLAB/Simulink and verified experimentally on a 1.8-kW induction machine in the laboratory. The result shows good agreement between simulation and experiment. At a constant speed, variable load operation of the induction machine is obtained by setting the frequency of the rotor voltage. |
