Induction Motor Speed Estimator Using Rotor Slot Harmonics

Effect of Harmonics on a Solid-rotor Induction Motor

The paper records a study of an investigating the performance of a solid-rotor induction motor with a rectilinear inverter excitation to identify the effects of the associated time harmonics. The performance is determined experimentally by using a stator of a three-phase laboratory induction motor that is fitted with a solid-steel rotor and compared with the theoretical model developed which us...

A Novel MRAS Based Estimator for Speed-Sensorless Induction Motor Drive

In this paper, a novel stator current based Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) estimator for speed estimation in the speed-sensorless vector controlled induction motor drives is presented. In the proposed MRAS estimator, measured stator current of the induction motor is considered as a reference model. The estimated stator current is produced in an adjustable model to compare with the measu...

Mras Based Speed Estimator for Vector Controlled Induction Motor Drives

1,2 Department of EEE, Sree Buddha College of Engineering, Pattoor, Alappuzha Abstract— Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) based speed sensorless estimation of vector controlled induction motor drives are presented in this paper. New speed and current estimation techniques are presented. These are used to formulate a single current sensor based vector controlled drive. The proposed method i...

Sensorless Indirect Field Oriented Control of Single-sided Linear Induction Motor With a Novel Sliding Mode MRAS Speed Estimator

This paper proposes a new sliding mode control (SMC)  based model reference adaptive system (MRAS) for sensorless indirect field oriented control (IFOC) of a single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM). The operation of MRAS speed estimators dramatically depends on adaptation mechanism. Fixed-gain PI controller is conventionally used for this purpose which may fail to estimate the speed correctl...
