Vector control has been widely used in control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) where the information of rotor position is required. Shaft position sensor such as an optical shaft position encoder or Hall Effect sensor is fitted to provide a signal that is used to maintain an appropriate space angle between the stator and rotor fields in the motor. Even though this method is very p...

This paper presents a new rotor flux oriented linearizing control with speed estimation scheme for adjustable speed induction motor (IM) drive. In this scheme, rotor flux oriented vector control is used to linearize the IM drive, and decouple torque and flux. Also, a stator flux based flux estimator is used to estimate the synchronous speed. The motor speed is estimated by measuring only two li...

This paper presents a Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) based speed sensorless estimation of vector controlled Induction Motor Drive. MRAS based techniques are one of the best methods to estimate the rotor speed due to its performance and straightforward stability approach. Depending on the type of tuning signal driving the adaptation mechanism, MRAS estimators are classified into rotor fl...

This paper presents a novel strategy for the vector control of IPMSM, without signal injection. The overall performance of the motion-sensorless control depends strongly on the accuracy of the rotor position and speed estimation. The proposed state observer is based on the concept of the “active flux” (or “torque producing flux”), which “turns all the salient–pole rotor ac machines into nonsali...

In this paper, the Linear Exponential Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LEQG/LTR) methodology is employed for the design of high performance induction motor servo systems. In addition, we design a speed sensorless induction motor vector controlled driver with both the extended Kalman filter and the LEQG/LTR algorithm. The experimental realization of an induction servo system is gi...

This paper proposes a rotor speed identification method for sensorless induction motor drives based on a model reference adaptive system (MRAS). In this scheme, the error between estimated stator current and real stator current is regarded as the system error to estimate the rotor speed. Adaptive fullorder flux observers for estimating the rotor speed are developed using Lyapunov’s stability th...

This technical paper deals with the transition performance improvement of a sensor fault-tolerant controller devoted to Electric (EV) or Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV). Indeed, improvements are brought over a previously developed technique that exhibit abrupt changes in the torque if a sensor fault is detected and after a transition from a control technique to another one [1]. The Fault-Toleran...

− Medical procedures such as seed implants, biopsies, and treatment injections require inserting a needle tip to a specific target location inside the human body. This is difficult because (1) insertion causes soft tissues to displace and deform, and (2) it is often difficult or impossible to obtain imaging data during insertion. We are developing a sensorless planning system for needle inserti...

Based on the general nonlinear magnetizing model (GNMM) from our previous research work, an improved method of detecting rotor position for sensorless control of SRMs in super-high speed operation has been developed. With minimum input data, the approximated GNMM is obtained and the rotor speed estimated. Then the rotor position is detected by the motion equation. To remove rotor position error...

In this paper we proposes a new control strategy for an interior permanent magnet synchronous generator-based(IPMSG) variable speed wind turbine. In this scheme, the requirement of the continuous rotor position is eliminated as all the calculations are done in the stator reference frame.. The direct control scheme with fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is simpler and can eliminate some of the drawba...
