The purpose of this paper is to present the speed-sensorless vector control method of the torque production from each rotor of two induction motors with parallel-connected stator windings fed by a single inverter. In this paper, an adaptive rotor flux observer is applied to the method in order to eliminate a flux sensor, and an adaptive scheme for rotor speed is added to the adaptive rotor flux observer in order to eliminate a speed sensor. The experimental results show that the proposed method is useful under the condition that the ratings of each induction motor are different.

Online tuning method of stator and rotor resistances in both motoring and regenerating operations for vector‐controlled induction machines

The vector control of induction motors is widely used. This method needs accurate motor parameter but the stator and rotor resistance vary due to motor temperature variation. If the value of resistance in the controller can be set up accurately at first, there must be a difference between the reference and real value of torque because of drift of the resistance. It is necessary to adapt the resistance value. The indirect field‐oriented control of an induction motor requires the value of rotor resistance only, but the direct field‐oriented control method with rotor flux observer requires the value of not only rotor resistance but also stator resistance in the controller. Consequently, it is necessary to adapt both stator resistance and rotor resistance. A parameter adaptation scheme has previously been proposed for the direct field‐oriented control method with rotor flux observer, but this method cannot be used when the motor is in regenerating operation. In this paper, a new stator and rotor resistance adaptation scheme is proposed, which can be applied when the motor is in regenerating operation. The usefulness of the proposed adaptation scheme is confirmed by simulation. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 135(1): 56–64, 2001     

Digital current regulation of field-oriented controlled inductionmotor based on predictive flux observer

A new technique based on deadbeat control theory is proposed to control induction motor stator currents under field-oriented control. Stator currents and motor speed were measured. Rotor fluxes are predicted using a state observer with variable poles selection. Then, the pulse-width-modulated (PWM) pattern of the inverter is controlled such that the stator currents are exactly equal to the reference currents at every sampling instant. From the theoretical analysis, digital simulations, and experimental results, the following conclusions were made. The deadbeat controller permitted low current ripple with lower switching frequency, which, in turn, resulted in low torque ripple. The predictive state observer made possible the estimation of rotor flux with very low sensitivity to parameter variation and then contributed to performance improvement of conventional vector control

Stability analysis of a controlled-current source-fed induction motor vector control system without a speed sensor

One of the representative vector-controlled induction motor drive systems without a speed sensor is composed of a rotor flux estimator, a PI torque current controller and a conventional vector-controlled current source. However, the stability analysis of this system has not been reported. In this paper, the flux estimator is interpreted as a flux observer. Then a linear model of the system is proposed by deriving the equations of the flux estimator in a synchronously rotating reference frame. By computing the trajectories of the poles and zeros and the transient responses, the following results are obtained. (1) If the rotor flux is estimated using only the stator equations (voltage model), the system becomes unstable when the actuator stator resistance is smaller than the value used by the controller. (2) By choosing a small time constant of the first-order lag element in the flux estimator (reciprocal number of observer gain), the poles and zeros on the imaginary axis move to the stable region. However, another pair of poles has reverse performance. (3) From the viewpoint of stability, the gain of the PI torque current controller should be chosen as large as possible and the stator and rotor resistances in the controller should be set to values smaller than their actual values.

Modified direct torque control method for induction motor drives based on amplitude and angle control of stator flux

This paper proposes design and implementation of a direct torque controlled induction motor drive system. The method is based on control of separation between amplitude and angle of reference stator flux for determining reference stator voltage vector in generating PWM output voltage for induction motors. The objective is to reduce electromagnetic torque ripple and stator flux droop which result in a decrease in current distortion in steady-state condition. In addition, the proposed technique provides simplicity of a control system. The direct torque control is based on the relationship between instantaneous slip angular frequency and rotor angular frequency in adjustment of the reference stator flux angle. The amplitude of the reference stator flux is always kept constant at rated value. The system has been implemented to verify its capability such as torque and stator flux responses, stator phase current distortion both during dynamic and steady state with load variation, and low speed operation.

Speed sensorless torque control of an IPMSM drive with online stator resistance estimation using reduced order EKF

Speed sensorless control of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) based on direct torque control (DTC) is proposed in this paper. The rotor speed and position of the IPMSM are estimated based on an active flux concept, where, the active flux vector position is identical to the rotor position. The proposed algorithm does not require neither high frequency injection signal nor complicated schemes even at vary low speed operation. Torque/ flux sliding mode controller (SMC) combined with space vector modulation is proposed to improve the performance of the classical DTC. Stator resistance value is required for a stator flux and electromagnetic torque estimation. Its variation due to temperature or frequency degrades the scheme performance, especially, at low speed operation. To overcome this problem, a reduced order extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed to update online the stator resistance. The advantages of the direct torque control, sliding mode controller, and speed sensorless control are incorporated in the proposed scheme. Simulation works are carried out to show the ability of the proposed scheme at different operating conditions. The results demonstrate the activity of the scheme at wide range speed operation with load disturbance and parameters variation.     

A generalized method of controlled voltage source-fed induction motor vector control using the observer theory

Vector control of induction motors is widely used for industrial applications. On-line parameter identification and speed sensorless control are being studied actively. A representative method for these problems is the application of an adaptive full-order observer. The rotor flux for vector control is estimated by a full-order observer and machine parameters, or the rotor speed is determined by an adaptive algorithm. In this paper, a new vector control scheme with parameter identification is proposed. This method is based on the adaptive full-order observer. However, the observed currents which are usually estimated in the voltage model are considered as command currents and the voltage model is used for the current controller. As a result, the proposed system is simpler than the conventional adaptive full-order observer system. Since the proposed system is composed of an induction motor model in a synchronously rotating reference frame, the well-known slip frequency control block is contained. The arrangement of the poles which are related to the torque transfer function is discussed. A linear model is derived taking into account the effects of the change of the stator and rotor resistances. The trajectories of poles and zeros of the torque transfer function are computed and discussed for various system parameters. Identification of stator and rotor resistances is confirmed by simulation using a nonlinear system model. The proposed idea is applied to a speed sensorless system; this system has a similar configuration to those of existing systems under some assumptions. © 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc.

Adaptive sliding mode observer for induction motor using two-time-scale approach

This paper presents an original method for the design of a robust adaptive sliding mode current and flux observer for induction motor drive using two-time-scale approach. This approach, based on the singular perturbation theory, decomposes the original system of the observer error dynamics into separate slow and fast subsystems of lower dimensions and permits a simple design and sequential determination of the observer gains. For the proposed observer, the rotor speed signal is assumed to be available. The stator currents and rotor flux are observed on the stationary reference frame using sliding mode concept, and the adaptive rotor time-constant is derived from Lyapunov stability theory using measured and estimated currents and estimated rotor flux. The control algorithm is based on the indirect field-oriented sliding mode control to keep the machine field oriented. The control-observer scheme seeks to provide asymptotic tracking of speed and rotor flux in spite of the presence of an uncertain load torque and unknown value of the rotor resistance. The effectiveness of this control algorithm has been successfully verified through computer simulations.
