Digital Description and Fault Injection of an Induction Machine Model

The integration of induction machines into digital platforms has gained significant relevance in recent years. This trend can be attributed to the rapid advancements in digital technology and computing power. These digital platforms offer a fast implementation approach to the design, analysis, and optimization of electric induction machine solutions. This work presents an implementation of an electric induction machine in a digital description and simulates the effects of injecting a bearing fault in the outer race into the system. The study aims to demonstrate the importance, opportunities, and challenges of digital implementations, and fault injection techniques in enhancing the performance, reliability, and fault tolerance of electric drive of induction machines.
