Abstract(s)

The present study aims at understanding the behaviour of the induction motor when subject to different kinds of disturbances. The intention was to broaden the study of some disturbances by using a transient simulation software, ATP/EMTP, and comparing results with laboratory measurements. Obtained simulation results approached very closely the laboratory measurements, with small differences probably due to the model simplifying assumptions and uncertainties associated to the model parameter estimation process. However, although this theoretical model presents a response very similar to the actual model, improvements could be made by better modelling of the mechanical load, and by using different kinds of dynamic loads. Also, the use of more accurate laboratory equipment, and namely, programmable power supplies could lead to more accurate comparisons and better learning.
