ADVANCED MODELLING OF ELECTRO MOTOR LOADS
Egya Ennor Kabenla Enyimah Armah
Background
Expected Result
Many power electronic applications require
complex, critical, costly, and time consuming
compatibility, verification between power
converters and a large number of alternative
motor types, sizes, and load situations. As such a
motor emulator is an alternative to having a
larger variety of motor types. This project would
therefore cover the various electro motor
modelling and load situations
The objective of this project is to explore and
demonstrate the possibilities of developing an
advanced electronic motor load capable of
emulating an arbitrary electro motor and its
load condition.
Model and simulate selected motor types and
their loading characteric behaviour
Literature review of
electro motor and
modelling techniques
•Models of selected motor types and loading
characteristics
•Verification and demonstration of models
•Demonstration of achievable system
performance
•Participation in conferences and written
journal papers
