Synchronous machine models for simulation of induction motor transients

Induction motors form a considerable portion of industrial loads; hence, the analysis of their performance is often required in power system studies. The analysis is either concerned with steady-state performance, or with transient performance during start-up and during system disturbances. The Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) is one type of computer program which can be used for transient analysis. This paper presents the details of using the existing EMTP synchronous machine model to simulate induction motor transients.
