MODELING OF A DUAL STATOR WINDING INDUCTION<br />

MACHINE INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF MAIN FLUX<br />

LINKAGE MAGNETIC SATURATION<br />

6.1 Introduction<br />

Saturation <strong>an</strong>alysis <strong>of</strong> single <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>induction</strong> <strong>machines</strong> has been studied for<br />

m<strong>an</strong>y years. The techniques, including incorporating air gap flux saturation into the<br />

perform<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>an</strong>alysis <strong>an</strong>d parameter estimation are mature. However, the saturation<br />

<strong>an</strong>alysis for <strong>dual</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>machines</strong> is still in early development. Since the air-gap flux<br />

linkages created by the two <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong>s <strong>an</strong>d the induced rotor currents share the same<br />

magnetic <strong>stator</strong> <strong>an</strong>d rotor cores, the primary air-gap flux saturation phenomenon is more<br />

complicated th<strong>an</strong> that <strong>of</strong> the normal single <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> squirrel-cage <strong>induction</strong><br />

machine [6.3, 6.5]. Because <strong>of</strong> this complexity, it is appropriate to reconsider the main<br />

flux linkage saturation effect in the design <strong>of</strong> the machine <strong>an</strong>d in the development <strong>an</strong>d<br />

practical implementation <strong>of</strong> speed/torque control algorithms. To avoid deep magnetic<br />

saturation in the <strong>stator</strong> <strong>an</strong>d rotor cores, rotor <strong>an</strong>d <strong>stator</strong> teeth, magnetic design<br />

methodologies have been suggested both for the <strong>dual</strong>-<strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>an</strong>d brushless<br />

doubly-fed <strong>induction</strong> <strong>machines</strong> [6.5, 6.6, 1.11]. An approach to include the influence <strong>of</strong><br />

magnetic saturation <strong>an</strong>d iron loss using time-stepping Finite Element Analysis in the<br />

perform<strong>an</strong>ce prediction <strong>of</strong> the brushless doubly-fed <strong>induction</strong> machine was set forth in<br />

[6.3]. It is the belief <strong>of</strong> the authors that the proposed finite element model produces very<br />
