• Resumen

  • Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a new finite element technique to simulate variable speed drives.

    Design/methodology/approach – The induction motor (IM) is simulated according to the adopted control strategy. This allows use of only magnetostatic simulation for both no‐load and under‐load simulations.

    Findings – The procedure allows the analysis of the performance of the IM drive taking into account iron saturation in all operation points.

    Originality/value – The entire system design is considered in the paper, both the electrical machine and the control strategy.
