In this paper, a single-stage smoothing filter algorithm is used for the speed-sensorless field-oriented control of induction motors and is verified experimentally. Two well-known flux models of induction motor are used for estimation of rotor flux and speed. The uncertainties in measurement and model are accounted for. The experiment is carried out on a closed loop field-oriented control system....
In this paper, consider the effect of the load inertia fluctuation for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM), the problem of dynamic response of SPMSM is studied. A backstepping control algorithm based on disturbance observer (DO) is proposed. Firstly, according to the equation of motor speed, the minimum-order observer is established to observe the disturbance value of load inertia,...
A novel Finite Element Controller Map (FECM) method for the speed control of a saturated induction motor (IM) drive is presented in this paper. The newly developed algorithm is based on approximate functions in finite elements, which are expressed according to the nodal values of output response of the IM drive. The map complexity depends on the nodes assigned within a discrete element. The proposed...
This paper presents a new approach for broken rotor bars detection in induction motors. When broken rotor bar occurs, the rotor resistance will increase. Furthermore, thermal effects of rotor resistance are considered to address practical aspects. Therefore, a suitable method to detect broken rotor bar is rotor resistance estimation. An applicable method in state estimation is Cubature Kalman Filter...
In order to improve the efficiency, we should know the loss characteristics of inverter-fed induction motors. We first have to accurately measure the total motor losses, and then obtain each loss component by reasonably separate the total motor losses. In this paper, the total losses of a 5.5 kW, a 22 kW, a 30 kW, a 37 kW, a 45 kW and a 55 kW induction motors under sinusoidal supply and PWM inverter...
In this paper, a dual parallel connected brushless direct current (BLDC) motors drive system fed by a single inverter is presented and the control method for stable operation in electric vehicles (EVs) application is proposed. To obtain the stability of such a system, both motors should always be respect the synchronism even if they have different load torque. The proposed control method is based...
The open-ended winding configuration allows feeding an electric motor from two sides. If one of them is connected to an inverter closed on a floating capacitor, operating as an active power filter, it is possible to obtain several benefits over the traditional configuration, such as an extended field weakening speed range and a lower current ripple. However, the additional converter causes switching...
Induction motors, which have been widely used in various practical applications, such as fans, pumps, machine tools, vehicle traction motors, etc., are truly the industrial workhorses over the past 120 years. To improve the sensorless induction motor control performance and develop more fault-tolerant motor drives, the paper presents a novel sensorless direct torque control approach based on the proposed...
In this paper, we investigate the variation in characteristics of variable speed induction motors fed by inverters with grades of core materials used for stators and rotors from both results of measurement and finite element analysis. Identical shaped stator/rotor cores are manufactured by using several kinds of electrical steel sheets from low to high grades. Then, the characteristics of these motors...
Structural defects in the rotor cage of large electrical machines significantly impact their expected operational lifetime. This work simulates the stresses developed in a damaged rotor cage during different transient profiles and for different sizes of the imperfection. A combined model featuring electrical, thermal and mechanical stages as well as three different meshes reflecting a progressing...
Due to the harmonics produced by inverter supply, the distribution characteristics of rotor copper and iron losses become more complicated in the inverter-fed induction motor (IFIM). To study the distribution characteristics of rotor copper and iron losses of the IFIM, we propose a new method to identify the harmonics of current density in the rotor bar and flux density in the rotor core using one...
Model predictive control (MPC) has become a hot research topic in applications. The combination of continuous control set MPC (CCS-MPC) and pulse width modulation (PWM) can achieve high-performance while overcoming the drawback of the uncertain switching frequency of finite control set MPC (FCS-MPC). Based on the Field-oriented control (FOC), this paper proposes the CCS-MPC current control method...
This paper deals with a robust input-output feedback linearization control technique for induction motors. The idea arises from the observation that classic feedback linearization suffers primarily from two disadvantages: the accuracy of the dynamic model and the corresponding correct knowledge of the model parameters. To cope with the limit of the feedback linearization control, intrinsically connected...
This paper presents a separation method to discern broken rotor bar fault from low frequency load torque oscillation thorough radial leakage flux spectrums in induction motors (IMs). Broken rotor bar fault can usually be detected using classical motor current based analysis (MCSA), but it may not provide reliable results since its performance depend on motor topology, stator winding and load type...
The induction motors are widely used in different industry areas which can experience various kinds of faults in stators and rotors. In order to early diagnose motor faults, the classical condition monitoring method focusing on stator current spectrum is well researched and presented. There are already some review papers related to traditional current monitoring method. However, when it comes to the...
To produce an ultralightweight machine for electric aircrafts, we propose a machine in which electrical energy is converted between the stator and the rotor via magnetic resonance coupling (MRC). This action causes electromagnetic resonance between the multiphase windings of the stator and the cage bars of the rotor. Electromagnetic resonance coupling technology allows electrical machines to convert...
Nonintrusive efficiency evaluation method based on the air gap torque and rotor slot frequency is generally used in industry application. However, this method has the following problems: 1) the number of rotor slots should be given in advance; 2) with some special number of pole pairs and rotor slots, the stator and rotor slot harmonics may be aliasing, which may lead to great errors in identification...
This paper presents a simple method to determine equivalent circuit parameters of double-cage Induction Motors (IM). A new formula to calculate the equivalent circuit parameters of double-cage IM is proposed. The formula is very simple so as to be able to calculate by a calculator but can determine the parameters of outer- and inner-cages bars accurately. In addition it is possible to take magnetic...
The stray flux that is present in the vicinity of an induction motor is a very interesting information source to detect several types of failures in these machines. The analysis of this quantity can be employed, in some cases, as a supportive tool to complement the diagnosis provided by other quantities. In other cases, when no other motor quantities are available, stray flux analysis can become one...
This paper describes a simple design of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) that is suitable for real-time applications and uses novel output membership functions, which do not include overlap. This increases controller rate speed convergence, allows for a significant reduction in computational burden, and lowers the execution time. A digital signal processor board is used to implement the FLC based Field...
