Space Vector Based Transformer Models

Abstract

This chapter considers an extension of the (single phase) ideal transformer (ITF) model to a two-phase space vector based version. The introduction of a two- phase (ITF) model is instructive as a tool for moving towards the so-called ideal rotating transformer “IRTF” concept, which forms the basis of machine models for this book. The reader is reminded of the fact that a two-phase model is a convenient method of representing three-phase systems as discussed in Sect. 4.6 The development from ITF to a generalized two-inductance model, as discussed for the single phase model (see Chap. 3), is almost identical for the two-phase model. Consequently, it is not instructive to repeat this process here. Instead, emphasis is placed in this chapter on the development of a two-phase space vector based ITF symbolic and generic model.
