    Abstract

    This paper presents an analytical approach to the analysis of the interaction between induction motors (IMs) and voltage sags. The presented methodology enables quick assessment of the influence of IM on sag characteristics and avoids time-consuming transient simulations. The accuracy of the derived analytical formulae is verified through classical transient simulations using the PSCAD/EMTDC package. This paper further proposes a simple, yet efficient transformation of resulting nonrectangular voltage sags, based on the loss of voltage index, into equivalent rectangular sags suitable for conventional voltage sag performance benchmarking. © 2008 IEEE.
