Simulation of thyristor operated induction generator by Simulink, Psim and Plecs

Abstract

The paper presents simulation results about thyristor operation of a mains connected induction machine, both as a motor and as a generator. The results were obtained by three different simulation packages, Simulink, Psim and Plecs. The cosimulation options between these programs were checked. The performances of these three packages were compared. The simulation results were validated by real experiments.
