A novel simulation model for multiphase induction machines formulated by the modified nodal analysis is proposed. In the proposed model, the voltage and the torque equations for an elementary induction machine are used to formulate a multiphase induction machine. It is not necessary to derive the state equations for the multiphase induction machine corresponding to the conduction modes of a power electronics circuit. Thus, it is easy to simulate the complex systems including the multiphase induction machines and many power devices. Two brushless slip-power recovery systems are discussed in this paper to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model. The simulation results show good agreements with the experimental results. The proposed model enables to simulate the systems consisting of the multiphase induction machines and many power devices without derivations of the state equations for multiphase induction machines corresponding to the conduction modes of a power electronics circuit.
