This paper deals with a dynamical modelling in view of behavior analysis of double stars induction machine (DSIM) supplied by
voltage source PWM inverter. Two modelling approaches are elaborated. In the first one the stator armatures of the DSIM are
described by two coupled circuits in Concordia’s frame. In the second approach the stator armatures of the DSIM are described
by two decoupled circuits. One is equivalent to the model of three phase machine in Concordia’s frame. And the other is
equivalent to a passive circuit and does not produce torque. Based on the established electrical circuits, the effect of supply mode
and the increasing of the inverter level on the current quality and the torque ripples are analyzed.
1. INTRODUCTION
Today no one can doubt the interest of the use of ac
machines in the industry. Of course, three phases machine
associated to power electronics converters are widely
explored in the electrical energy conversion field. For some
applications such as in the field transport or renewable energy
exploitation [1–3], it is necessary to increase the power Fig. 1– Description of electrical drive.

Thus to obtain the required level of power and reliability, PWM unit. Two topologies of inverters are considered:

organized in four sections. After a short description of the
electrical drive, more focus is accorded to dynamical modeling
of the DSIM in various frames. Then, several simulations
are carried and the results are analyzed based on the
electrical equivalent circuits. Fig. 2 – Configuring dual stars induction machine.
