Estimation of rotor resistance rapidly and accurately has received a lot of attention due to its significance in improving the performance of induction motor(IM) vector control system. In this paper, algorithm of estimating rotor resistance of IM based on extended Kalman filter(EKF) is presented. The algorithm can estimate the rotor resistance on line by measuring the voltage, current and speed...

Steady-state analysis of a three phase induction motor can be carried out by using computer simulation software such as MATLAB. From Simulink/Power system block set (PSB) library, the induction motor model can be effectively used to simulate the effects of DC resistance, no-load and blocked rotor tests. These tests are performed on a machine to estimate the values of stator and rotor resistance...

Abstract: This paper proposes an optimization based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for selection of appropriate external rotor resistances of wound rotor induction generator (WRIG). The generator coupled with a Wells turbine is used in oscillating water column (OWC) wave power plants. The Wells turbine suffers with stalling behaviour that reduces the average output power signific...

Stray load loss refers generally to the sources of induction machine loss not accounted for by typical calculations of primary or secondary copper loss, no load core loss, or friction and windage loss. Harmonic rotor bar currents from the non-sinusoidal distribution of the slotted stator winding contribute significant stray load loss. Rotor bars, especially on cast rotors for machines under fif...

The indirect field oriented control method is widely used for induction motor drives. This method needs a speed sensor such as a shaft encoder not only for the speed control but also for the torque control. The application of the speed sensor reduces the sturdiness of the system and make it expensive. Therefore, a drive system without speed sensors is required. Although the direct field oriente...

A mutual model reference adaptive system (MRAS) is proposed to implement a position sensorless field-orientation control (FOC) of an induction machine. The reference model and adjustable model used in the mutual MRAS scheme are interchangeable. Therefore, it can be used to identify both rotor speed and the stator resistance of an induction machine. For the rotor speed estimation, one model is u...

The objective of this paper is to develop an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model to estimate simultaneously, parameters and state of a brushed DC machine. The proposed ANN estimator is novel in the sense that his estimates simultaneously temperature, speed and rotor resistance based only on the measurement of the voltage and current inputs. Many types of ANN estimators have been designed by a...

single-phase squirrel cage and three-phase induction electromotors are the most popular electromotors used in industry from long ago. when an induction motor starts with direct connection method, it takes a lot of current from the power supply (several times the nominal current); so, several methods have been devised to start such electromotors. these methods either reduce the voltage of the st...

–In this paper deals with steady state analysis of self-excited slip ring induction generator (SESRIG) is performed using NewtonRaphson method. By varying effective rotor resistance of a self excited slip ring induction generator, the magnitude and frequency of the output voltage can be controlled over a wide speed range. A steady state analysis based on normalized equivalent circuit enables th...

In this paper, one presents a transient state performance optimization of vectorcontrolled induction motor (IM) drives operating in the field-weakening region. The vector control scheme, based on the rotor flux field-orientation (RFOC), is considered to ensure maximum torque motor operation regime. Although in the high speed region, the measure of rotor speed and the sensitivity to parameters e...
