Comparison of Numerical Induction Motor Models with FEA-Based-Lookup Tables

The objective of this paper is to compare the performance of multiple solutions for equivalent circuit modeling for induction motors (IMs) with the magnetic nonlinearity and the slip frequency in the format of lookup tables (LUTs). Developing a reliable high-fidelity equivalent-circuit model for IMs that can be incorporated into simulation-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) is of keen interest in the recent trend of electrification. In this work, five equivalent circuit parameter style solutions for IMs are implemented and compared. As the outcome of this work, a performance of these solutions is summarized based on the sensitivity study with respect to the variation of the parameter planes and time step.
