Stabilizing Power Oscillation with the New Phase Modulation Method for Synthetic Loading of Induction Motors

<p> Conventional method for testing the total power loss and internal temperature rise of induction motors under full load can often be a complex and costly process. The new phase modulation method for synthetic full-load testing of induction machines has been proven viable, provided the power oscillation in this method can be minimized. This thesis explores two techniques for stabilizing power fluctuation in the new method, and determines the test system's power sensitivities to parameter changes in the equivalent circuit of the induction motors under test.</p> <p> A computer simulation representing the test system used in the new phase modulation method was developed, and an experimental testing facility was built to test the technique devised for suppressing power oscillation in the test system.</p> <p> The results from simulations are analyzed and compared to those obtained from the actual experiments in order to identify the feasible power-suppressing technique, and determine the induction machine parameters responsible for causing power unbalance in the test system.</p> / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)
