In the field of optimization of hybrid renewable energy systems, maximum power extraction is still an important issue. For simulation purposes, accurate models are needed including all the losses in the different components of such systems. Among them, iron, mechanical and rotor copper losses in electrical machines are not always taken into account and are rather difficult to evaluate at variable speed and with PWM supply. This paper presents a practical and easy way for global loss modeling of an induction machine with the help of the Design of Experiments. This technique is simple since it requires a limited number of experiments and it provides the possibility to take into account several factors and their interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
