Simulation of an Asynchronous Machine by using a Pseudo Bond Graph

Abstract

For engineers, computer simulation is a basic tool since it enables them to understand how systems work without actually needing to see them. They can learn how they work in different circumstances and optimize their design with considerably less cost in terms of time and money than if they had to carry out tests on a physical system. However, if computer simulation is to be reliable it is essential for the simulation model to be validated. There is a wide range of commercial brands on the market offering products for electrical domain simulation (SPICE, Lab VIEW PSCAD, Dymola, Simulink,, Simplorer,...). These are powerful tools, but require the engineer to have a perfect knowledge of the electrical field. This paper shows an alternative methodology to can simulate an asynchronous machine using the multi domain Bond Graph technique and apply it in any program that permit the simulation of models based in this technique; no extraordinary knowledge of this technique and electric field are required to understand the process
