Q. 11.13

Consider again the induction motor of Example 11.12. Assuming the motor speed and electromagnetic power remain constant (at 1680 r/min and 9.7 kW), use MATLAB to plot the per-unit armature current I_a and terminal voltage V_a as a function of i_D as (λ_{DR})_{ref} is varied between 0.8 and 1.2 per unit, where 1.0 per unit corresponds to the rated peak value.

Step-by-Step

Verified Solution

The desired plot is given in Fig. 11.22. Note that the armature current decreases and the terminal voltage increases as λ_{DR} is increased. This clearly shows how i_D, which controls λ_{DR}, can be chosen to optimize the tradeoff between such quantifies as armature current, armature flux linkages, and terminal voltage.

Here is the MATLAB script:
