Embedded Windsyn
Direct support of Windsyn features
ATPDraw has embedded induction machine fitting with extended user control (incl. Tmax fitting) Convergent gradient method for fitting cost function More flexible start-up, output control and T/ plotting

MTU Houghton 2010

Hans Kr. Hidalen, NTNU-Norway

32

Improvements in ATPDraw
Windsyn relaxes the fitting of the slip while ATPDraw now offers this as a part of the cost function Windsyn does the fitting iteratively without adjusting the stator resistance when slip, efficiency or power factor becomes different Bug fixes (hp conversion, round-off error, mechanical vs. electrical power, motor vs. generator efficiency) The TACS section made smoother with less variables (kVAR, kWAT, PUVT, PUTM, Slip) Only relevant nodes presented in the icon (no field voltage node, only rotor winding node for wound rotor) No need to rerun the fitting when the type of initialization or compensation/prediction change

Hybrid Transformer model - XFMR

Topologically correct The model includes:
an inverse inductance matrix for the leakage description, frequency dependent winding resistance, capacitive coupling, and a topologically correct core model with individual saturation and losses in legs and yokes. Triplex, 3,5, shell-form cores. Fitting to test report data, given relative core dimensions.

The user can base the transformer model on three sources of data:
Design parameter: specify geometry and material parameters of the core and windings. Test report: standard transformer tests. Typical values: typical values based on the voltage and power ratings.
