Induction Machine, Loss Modelling and Parameter Estimation

Induction machines (IMs) are today widely used in various applications. For example, it is by far the most used electrical motor in industry. Asynchronous motors, particularly the squirrel-cage induction motor, enjoy several inherent advantages like simplicity, reliability, low cost and virtually maintenance-free electrical drives. These facts are due to the induction motor advantages over the rest of motors. The main advantage is that induction motors do not require an electrical connection between stationary and brushes. Induction motor also has low weight and inertia, high efficiency and high overload capability. In addition, due to its practical importance, tremendous amounts of money are still spent today on research regarding its physics and operation. The range of possible research subjects pertaining to IMs is beyond belief. Covering all results and all references available in the literature could easily fill up a thesis all by itself.
