determining aninduction machine’s torque-speed curve was less desirable. We paid to have the system alignedprofessionally, a costly thing for a university laboratory nearly 200km from the nearestalignment contractor. We did not want to decouple the machines because of the cost ofrealigning them. Therefore, we created a test method to find appropriate machine modelparameters without decoupling the machine.Incumbent Testing MethodThe current method to characterize an induction machine’s torque-speed curve is represented inFigure 1. In this method induction machine (IM) is operated as a motor and is supplied three-phase AC voltage and current from the utility. The induction motor’s shaft couples to a DCmachine. The DC machine acts as a generator that

was conducted using the Subnado underwater sea scooter by Waydoo. Thiswas placed in a tank of water with the turbine. The scooter was then set to low power (the thrustwas not listed) which provided a flow to turn the turbine. Given the testing conditions, the turbinewas found to generate a maximum of about 0.85 volts. However, because the generator used wasan AC motor and the Arduino was reading DC voltage, the rapid oscillation of voltage did not givea definite result. After the installation of a bridge rectifier, a more stable voltage was recorded atapproximately 0.5 volts, but the bridge rectifier provided a 1.2 voltage drop. Using an actualgenerator, instead of a brushless AC motor inverted to a generator, more voltage could beproduced
