Mathematical Modelling of Linear Induction Motor

Abstract

The Linear Induction Motor is a special purpose electrical machines it produces rectilinear motion in place of rotational motion. By using D-Q axes equivalent circuit the mathematical modelling is done because to distinguish dynamic behavior of LIM, because of the time varying parameters like end effect, saturation of core, and half filled slot the dynamic modelling of LIM is difficult. For simplification hear we are using the two axes modelling because to evade inductances time varying nature it becomes complex in modelling, this also reduces number of variables in the dynamic equation. Modelling is done using MATLAB/SIMULINK. LIM can be controlled by using sliding model control, vector control, and position control.
