Abstract

Purpose

–

The purpose of this paper is to present a new finite element technique to simulate variable speed drives.

Design/methodology/approach

–

The induction motor (IM) is simulated according to the adopted control strategy. This allows use of only magnetostatic simulation for both no‐load and under‐load simulations.

Findings

–

The procedure allows the analysis of the performance of the IM drive taking into account iron saturation in all operation points.

Originality/value

–

The entire system design is considered in the paper, both the electrical machine and the control strategy.
