1. INTRODUCTION
In many industrial applications Adjustable speed drives (ASD) are most commonly seen
workhorses. In order to supply the motor with variable AC voltage or AC current with variable frequency
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are employed. ASDs are used in pumping applications, in sugar cane
industries, conveyor applications etc. The common VFD consists of a three phase diode bridge rectifier, dc
link and a pulse width modulated inverter. It is necessary to develop a model for VFD for power system
dynamic studies. In literature, for the three phase diode bridge rectifier dq impedance model is employed [1].
State-space averaging method is used for modeling a three phase four wire diode bridge rectifier [2].
Dynamic average value modeling methods are utilized for conventional three phase diode bridge rectifier and
are validated [3]. This can capture the steady-state and transient characteristics of the diode bridge rectifier.
An approximate switching function of the diode bridge rectifier is used in order to obtain the estimating
function for the fundamental current harmonics [4].This method is proven to be effective in finding out the
input current harmonic content. A switching function model for voltage source inverter is derived and also it
is validated using MATLAB/Simulink [5].
Modulation function theory is effectively utilized for deriving the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
inverter which makes use of the Iterative Harmonic and Interharmonics Analysis (IHIA) [6]. Space vector
pulse width modulation method is employed for inverter and the method is validated using
MATLAB/Simulink [7]. A three phase boost dc-ac converter is used to supply the induction motor [8]. AC
output voltage that is greater than the input dc voltage is obtained without the need of additional boost
converter.

The effects of low switching frequencies in inverter fed ac drive are analyzed [9]. Both the
simulation and experimental results are discussed. Model predictive current control method is employed for
load current control [10]. The effectiveness of the method is validated by simulation using two level inverter.
MATLAB /Simulink model is developed for a three phase inverter with PID controller and hardware is
implemented using digital signal processor [11]. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is less for inverter with
PID controller. A mathematical modeling of induction motor is derived and validated using
MATLAB/Simulink [12]. Fifth order differential equations are used for modeling induction motor in
synchronously rotating reference frame theory [13]. A dynamic model of three phase induction motor with
double windings in the stator has been derived using space vector theory [14]. The derived model is
simulated in Simulink and the steady state and dynamic characteristics are compared with the standard three
phase induction motor. Three various approaches are used to obtain the squirrel cage induction motor
characteristics. They are, (a) stator resistance measurement, (b) details from the motor plate and (c) induction
motor modeling [11]. This is simple and cost effective approach [15]. Modeling of induction motor based on
object oriented methodology is employed [16]. This model is validated on a faulty squirrel cage induction
motor. A dynamic model of variable frequency drive is obtained which has the capability to ride through the
fault [17]. The same is verified using case studies. Several other models for induction motor
[18-19], voltage source inverter [20-21] and diode bridge rectifier [22] are available in the literature. In
literature, separate models are available for the converters and induction motor.
In modern industrial applications as the induction motor is fed from switching converters, the motor
model developed must be valid for arbitrary applied voltage and current waveforms. Therefore a complete
model is required for power system dynamic studies and for harmonic analysis. Also, the machine model
must include the essential elements of both electromagnetic and mechanical system for both steady state and
transient operating conditions. Considering this, in this work an accurate model for induction motor is
developed using d-q reference frame equations. Switching function concept is used for developing a model
for voltage source inverter (VSI) and a non-switching concept is employed for uncontrolled rectifier. Thereby
a complete and an accurate model of VFD which is required for power system dynamic studies and harmonic
analysis is developed. The accuracy of the developed model has been verified through simulation in
MATLAB/Simulink.
2. MODELING OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE
2.1. Modeling of Induction Motor
The steady state equivalent circuit is derived from the principle of operation of induction motor. The
steady state response of variable speed induction motor drive is evaluated based on the equivalent circuit. For
validation of the design of the motor-drive system, the dynamic simulation is one of the important steps. This
eliminates inadvertent mistakes in the design and resulting errors in prototype model. Therefore dynamic
models are required for the induction motor [23]. The dynamic model of the induction motor is obtained from
the fundamentals. The dqo model makes use of two windings for the rotor and stator of the induction motor.
Transformation of abc to dqo axes employed for deriving the dynamic model is based on simple
trigonometric relationship. Used in the derivation of various dynamic models are based on simple
trigonometric relationships. Since the mathematical equations of induction motor are involving differential
equations that are varying with respect to time which helped to choose synchronous reference frame as the
scope of this work in modeling.
The assumptions that are made in order to derive the dynamic model of induction motor are as
follows,
(1) Air gap is uniform
(2) Stator and rotor windings are balanced, with the mmf being distributed sinusoidally
(3) Inductance versus rotor position is sinusoidal; and
(4) Saturation and changes of parameter are neglected.
Three particular cases for the induction machine in arbitrary reference frames are,
(1) Stator reference frames model;
(2) Rotor reference frames model;
(3) Synchronously rotating reference frames model.
The model of induction motor can be done effectively using the reference frames mentioned as
in [18]. Induction motor can be modeled by taking one of the generalized arbitrary reference frames, they are
stator reference frame, rotor reference frame, synchronous rotating reference frames. In this work we
considered implanting synchronous rotating reference frame method. Why, because the steady nature of this
stator d-axis current makes this reference frame useful when a computer is used in simulation and one of
advantages of this frame is speed and angular position can be taken into consideration at any instant of time.

Since the mathematical equations of induction motor are involving differential equations that are varying
with respect to time which helped to choose synchronous reference frame as the scope of this work in
modeling. The model equations are derived from dqo equivalent circuit of induction motor given in Figure 1.

2.2. Modeling of Voltage Source Inverter
In order to describe the function that needs to be done by the circuit, transfer function is derived. A
dependent variable can be calculated in terms of its respective independent variable by using transfer
function. In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) the dependent variable is the modulated waveform and the
independent variable is the waveform to be modulated. General expression of the transfer function is,
TD = VD/ VI (13)
where, VD is the dependent variable and
VI is the independent variable.
There are several advantages by modelling the VSI using transfer function model.
1. Power conversion circuit can simplified into output and input variables
2. Converter topologies can be derived easily by transfer function approach
3. The strategy to implement gating pulses will become much simpler
4. Various parameters like current and voltage, load current can be calculated easily
5. For a power conversion circuits there is no need of forming real power electronic models and state
equations
A particular transfer function has a particular switching function. The relationship between output
variable and input variable is obtained by employing switching function theory. So to have a detailed account
of the static power converters, a proper switching function must be obtained. Based on the theory of transfer
function, in the VSI, the independent variables are the input voltage Vd and output current IA, IB, and IC and
the dependent variables are input current Ii and output voltage VAB, VBC, VCA. Therefore, the output and
input variables can be related as
[ ] )dV(TF=CAV,BCV,ABV (14)
[ ]CI,BI,AITF=iI (15)
where TF is the Transfer Function of VSI which can expressed in the form of various switching functions.

2.3. Modeling of Three Phase Diode Bridge Rectifier
The ac input power is converted into dc output power by the use of three phase diode bridge
rectifier. The circuit condition determines the instant at which the diode starts conducting. The input voltages
VA, VB and VC for the balanced condition can be written as follows:
)tsin(mV=AV  (27)
)°120-tsin(mV=BV  (28)
)°240-tωsin(mV=CV (29)
where, Vm is the voltage magnitude. For this voltages, the fundamental switching functions are
expressed as same as voltage source inverter SF1A, B, C as mentioned in the modeling of voltage source
inverter. The correlation input and output of the diode bridge rectifier are given as
Vd = (SF) T
VABC (30)
IABC = (SF) Id (31)
A synchronously rotating dq frame is considered with d-axis aligned with the voltage vector. By the
use of transformation matrix, three phase variables FABC hence, the three phase variables FABC are expressed
in terms of such dq frame.
Fdq = T (FABC) (32)

INTRODUCTION In many industrial applications Adjustable speed drives (ASD) are most commonly seen workhorses. In order to supply the motor with variable AC voltage or AC current with variable frequency Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are employed. ASDs are used in pumping applications, in sugar cane industries, conveyor applications etc. The common VFD consists of a three phase diode bridge rectifier, dc link and a pulse width modulated inverter. It is necessary to develop a model for VFD for power system dynamic studies. In literature, for the three phase diode bridge rectifier dq impedance model is employed [1]. State-space averaging method is used for modeling a three phase four wire diode bridge rectifier [2]. Dynamic average value modeling methods are utilized for conventional three phase diode bridge rectifier and are validated [3]. This can capture the steady-state and transient characteristics of the diode bridge rectifier. An approximate switching function of the diode bridge rectifier is used in order to obtain the estimating function for the fundamental current harmonics [4].This method is proven to be effective in finding out the input current harmonic content. A switching function model for voltage source inverter is derived and also it is validated using MATLAB/Simulink [5]. Modulation function theory is effectively utilized for deriving the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) inverter which makes use of the Iterative Harmonic and Interharmonics Analysis (IHIA) [6]. Space vector pulse width modulation method is employed for inverter and the method is validated using MATLAB/Simulink [7]. A three phase boost dc-ac converter is used to supply the induction motor [8]. AC output voltage that is greater than the input dc voltage is obtained without the need of additional boost converter.
  • 2.  ISSN:2088-8708 IJECE Vol. 7, No. 2, April 2017 : 584–595 585 The effects of low switching frequencies in inverter fed ac drive are analyzed [9]. Both the simulation and experimental results are discussed. Model predictive current control method is employed for load current control [10]. The effectiveness of the method is validated by simulation using two level inverter. MATLAB /Simulink model is developed for a three phase inverter with PID controller and hardware is implemented using digital signal processor [11]. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is less for inverter with PID controller. A mathematical modeling of induction motor is derived and validated using MATLAB/Simulink [12]. Fifth order differential equations are used for modeling induction motor in synchronously rotating reference frame theory [13]. A dynamic model of three phase induction motor with double windings in the stator has been derived using space vector theory [14]. The derived model is simulated in Simulink and the steady state and dynamic characteristics are compared with the standard three phase induction motor. Three various approaches are used to obtain the squirrel cage induction motor characteristics. They are, (a) stator resistance measurement, (b) details from the motor plate and (c) induction motor modeling [11]. This is simple and cost effective approach [15]. Modeling of induction motor based on object oriented methodology is employed [16]. This model is validated on a faulty squirrel cage induction motor. A dynamic model of variable frequency drive is obtained which has the capability to ride through the fault [17]. The same is verified using case studies. Several other models for induction motor [18-19], voltage source inverter [20-21] and diode bridge rectifier [22] are available in the literature. In literature, separate models are available for the converters and induction motor. In modern industrial applications as the induction motor is fed from switching converters, the motor model developed must be valid for arbitrary applied voltage and current waveforms. Therefore a complete model is required for power system dynamic studies and for harmonic analysis. Also, the machine model must include the essential elements of both electromagnetic and mechanical system for both steady state and transient operating conditions. Considering this, in this work an accurate model for induction motor is developed using d-q reference frame equations. Switching function concept is used for developing a model for voltage source inverter (VSI) and a non-switching concept is employed for uncontrolled rectifier. Thereby a complete and an accurate model of VFD which is required for power system dynamic studies and harmonic analysis is developed. The accuracy of the developed model has been verified through simulation in MATLAB/Simulink. 2. MODELING OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE 2.1. Modeling of Induction Motor The steady state equivalent circuit is derived from the principle of operation of induction motor. The steady state response of variable speed induction motor drive is evaluated based on the equivalent circuit. For validation of the design of the motor-drive system, the dynamic simulation is one of the important steps. This eliminates inadvertent mistakes in the design and resulting errors in prototype model. Therefore dynamic models are required for the induction motor [23]. The dynamic model of the induction motor is obtained from the fundamentals. The dqo model makes use of two windings for the rotor and stator of the induction motor. Transformation of abc to dqo axes employed for deriving the dynamic model is based on simple trigonometric relationship. Used in the derivation of various dynamic models are based on simple trigonometric relationships. Since the mathematical equations of induction motor are involving differential equations that are varying with respect to time which helped to choose synchronous reference frame as the scope of this work in modeling. The assumptions that are made in order to derive the dynamic model of induction motor are as follows, (1) Air gap is uniform (2) Stator and rotor windings are balanced, with the mmf being distributed sinusoidally (3) Inductance versus rotor position is sinusoidal; and (4) Saturation and changes of parameter are neglected. Three particular cases for the induction machine in arbitrary reference frames are, (1) Stator reference frames model; (2) Rotor reference frames model; (3) Synchronously rotating reference frames model. The model of induction motor can be done effectively using the reference frames mentioned as in [18]. Induction motor can be modeled by taking one of the generalized arbitrary reference frames, they are stator reference frame, rotor reference frame, synchronous rotating reference frames. In this work we considered implanting synchronous rotating reference frame method. Why, because the steady nature of this stator d-axis current makes this reference frame useful when a computer is used in simulation and one of advantages of this frame is speed and angular position can be taken into consideration at any instant of time.

Modeling of Voltage Source Inverter In order to describe the function that needs to be done by the circuit, transfer function is derived. A dependent variable can be calculated in terms of its respective independent variable by using transfer function. In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) the dependent variable is the modulated waveform and the independent variable is the waveform to be modulated. General expression of the transfer function is, TD = VD/ VI (13) where, VD is the dependent variable and VI is the independent variable. There are several advantages by modelling the VSI using transfer function model. 1. Power conversion circuit can simplified into output and input variables 2. Converter topologies can be derived easily by transfer function approach 3. The strategy to implement gating pulses will become much simpler 4. Various parameters like current and voltage, load current can be calculated easily 5. For a power conversion circuits there is no need of forming real power electronic models and state equations A particular transfer function has a particular switching function. The relationship between output variable and input variable is obtained by employing switching function theory. So to have a detailed account of the static power converters, a proper switching function must be obtained. Based on the theory of transfer function, in the VSI, the independent variables are the input voltage Vd and output current IA, IB, and IC and the dependent variables are input current Ii and output voltage VAB, VBC, VCA.

Modeling of Three Phase Diode Bridge Rectifier The ac input power is converted into dc output power by the use of three phase diode bridge rectifier. The circuit condition determines the instant at which the diode starts conducting. The input voltages VA, VB and VC for the balanced condition can be written as follows: )tsin(mV=AV  (27) )°120-tsin(mV=BV  (28) )°240-tωsin(mV=CV (29) where, Vm is the voltage magnitude. For this voltages, the fundamental switching functions are expressed as same as voltage source inverter SF1A, B, C as mentioned in the modeling of voltage source inverter. The correlation input and output of the diode bridge rectifier are given as Vd = (SF) T VABC (30) IABC = (SF) Id (31) A synchronously rotating dq frame is considered with d-axis aligned with the voltage vector. By the use of transformation matrix, three phase variables FABC hence, the three phase variables FABC are expressed in terms of such dq frame. Fdq = T (FABC) (32)

The speed and torque characteristics for different load frequencies are shown in the results. The performance of induction motor is analysed for different frequencies. The developed model is tested for the steady state behavior of machine drive. The proposed model is validated by the simulation results. Thus it can be concluded that Matlab/Simulink is reliable and easiest way to assess the behavior of ASDs using reference theory, switching function concept.
