Towards a global control strategy for induction motor: Speed regulation, flux optimization and power factor correction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A great deal of interest has been paid to induction machine control over the last years. However, most previous works have focused on the speed/flux/torque regulation supposing the machine magnetic circuit to be linear and ignoring the machine power conversion equipments. The point is that speed regulation cannot be ensured in optimal efficiency conditions, for a wide range of speed-set-point and load torque, unless the magnetic circuit nonlinearity is explicitly accounted for in the motor model. On the other hand, the negligence of the power conversion equipments makes it impossible to deal properly with the harmonic pollution issue due to ‘motor – power supply grid’ interaction. This paper presents a theoretical framework for a global control strategy of the induction machine and related power equipments. The proposed strategy involves a multi-loop nonlinear adaptive controller designed to meet the three main control objectives, i.e. tight speed regulation for a wide range speed-reference variation, flux optimization for energy consumption and power factor correction (PFC). Tools from the averaging theory are resorted to formally describe the control performances. Crown Copyright 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Current Limitation and Speed Drop Minimization in Optimal-Efficiency of Induction Motors
In conventional direct torque control (DTC), the stator flux is usually kept constant by controlling the x-axis component of the stator voltage in the stator flux reference frame. The torque is then controlled by the y-axis component of stator voltage. In this scenario, the stator current does not exceed its permissible value. However, in the so-called optimal efficiency mode, the induction mot...
