Abstract

A three-phase induction motor emulator using power electronic converters is introduced in this paper. The emulator is intended to be used in an ultra-wide-area grid transmission network emulator represented by regenerative converters structure. The load emulator converter is controlled in rectifier mode to behave like the real induction motor load, whose model is described and programmed in the digital controller. This paper discusses specifically about the induction motor dynamic modeling, numerical method used in the controller, and finally experimental result verification of starting up transient.
