Abstract

This paper presents a real-time motor drive simulator capable to accurately simulate a double IGBT bridge inverter connected to an induction motor through an inter phase transformer. The simulator also includes a DC link model with regeneration capability and two choppers. The paper will detail the implementation of the model and simulation results and timing. The whole system, with external I/O IGBT fiber optic gate signals, executes in real-time at 80 µs time step under the RT-LAB real-time distributed simulation software on a PC cluster composed of three Pentium processors running at 1 GHz.
