A new integrated education environment for induction motor drives

This paper presents an integrated education environment (IEE) developed for field‐oriented controlled induction motor (IM). This educational environment helps students to develop knowledge about field‐oriented control algorithms for IM through the study of analysis and design. It also increases the effectiveness of the teaching of subjects. The control of IM using field‐orientation methods is implemented on the DS1103 controller board from dSPACE. In the proposed IEE, the controller gains and other numerical parameters such as speed reference and d‐axis current reference, etc. are easily adjusted through the developed graphical user interface (GUI) in dSPACE's ControlDesk environment. The output voltage and current waveforms and their harmonic spectra can be shown on the developed GUI and can also be stored as a MAT file. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
