In this paper an adaptive control systems scheme is used to update the rotor resistance of an induction motor drive. Rotor resistance of the induction motor drive is dependent on the temperature where it is installed for one Induced Draft Fan (I.D Fan) in one of the 500 MW generating thermal power plant. The rotor resistance adaptation is of induction motor drive is achieved through Indirect Fi...

Speed sensorless vector control of 3-phase induction motor under open-phase fault (faulty 3phase induction motor) based on Indirect Rotor Field-Oriented Control (IRFOC) is proposed in this paper. To ensure high performance FOC of induction motor drives, the estimation of the rotor speed is necessary. However, the algorithm used to estimate the rotor speed for a 3-phase induction motor cannot be...

Induction machine models used for steady-state and transient analysis require machine parameters that are usually considered design parameters or data. The knowledge of induction machine parameters is very important for Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC). A mismatched set of parameters will degrade the response of speed and torque control. This paper presents an improvement approach on roto...

The primary objective of this paper is to elimination of the problem of sensitivity to parameter variation of induction motor drive. The proposed sensorless strategy is based on an algorithm permitting a better simultaneous estimation of the rotor speed and the stator resistance including an adaptive mechanism based on the lyaponov theory. To study the reliability and the robustness of the sens...

Rigid rotor dynamic model is widely used to model rotating machinery. In this paper, a speed-varying transient rigid rotor model is developed in the state space form. The states of this model are augmented to include imbalance forces and moments. A time-varying observer can then be designed for the augmented system by using canonical transformation. After obtaining an estimation of the imbalanc...

Three-phase induction motor drive requires high accuracy in high performance processes in industrial applications. Field oriented control, which is one of the most employed control schemes for induction motors, bases its function on the electrical parameter estimation coming from the motor. These parameters make an electrical machine driver work improperly, since these electrical parameter valu...

Phase windings of switched reluctance machines are modeled by a nonlinear inductance and a resistance that can be estimated from standstill test data. During online operation, the model structures and parameters of SRM’s may differ from the standstill ones because of saturation and losses, especially at high current. To model this effect, a damper winding is added into the model structure. This...

This paper describes a simple way to control the Brush Less DC Motor (BLDCM) for electrical applications. To control this machine it is generally required to measure the speed and position of rotor by using the sensor because the inverter phases, acting at any time, must be commutated depending on the rotor position. The position sensors make the motor system more complicated and mechanically u...

This paper presents the parameters of permanent magnet synchronous motor i.e. speed (r), stator resistance (RS), q-axis inductance (Lq), and torque (Ts) is to be estimated by using Model Reference adaptive System(MRAS). To improve the performance of speed sensor less permanent magnet synchronous motor drives, especially at low speeds by identifying stator resistance together with speed. Severa...

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...
