Experimental Identification of the Magnetic Model of Synchronous Machines

This paper proposes and formalizes a comprehensive experimental approach for the identification of the magnetic model of synchronous electrical machines of all kinds. The identification procedure is based on controlling the current of the machine under test while this is driven at constant speed by another regenerative electric drive. Compensation of stator resistance and inverter voltage drops, iron loss, and operating temperature issues are all taken into account. A road map for implementation is given, on different types of hardware setups. Experimental results are presented, referring to two test motors of small size, and references of larger motors identified with the same technique are given from the literature.
