Abstract

MATLAB/ Simulink is a very useful tool for analysis and design of control systems. Vector control method (VCM) is a powerful tool for the analysis of electromagnetic processes and optimized flux and current in order to realized optimized motor operation in general and linear induction motors as partial case. Taking into account the Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation, six switching patterns used to control 6-switching transistors drives three-phase windings. This paper proposes a new method, where the MATLAB/ Simulink is coupled with VCM. We apply the proposed method to analyze a linear three-phase induction motor (LIM) behaviors, and to obtained optimized linear force with minimized ripples, low current ripples, and minimized losses. Prototype linear motor has been accomplished.

Keywords
