Abstract:

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 motor operates with reduced flux-level at light loads. The reference flux increases with the increase in the load torque. Consequently, stator current overshoots from its threshold, and the inverter’s rated power needs to be increased. When the load torque increases suddenly, speed will drop significantly as the flux level had been initially reduced. In this paper, the origin of this phenomenon and the overshoot current are described using the equivalent circuit model of an induction motor. A current limiting strategy is then proposed for the DTC drive with a torque controller. Also to improve dynamic response, an algorithm for optimum distribution of stator current is developed that includes flux and torque components. This algorithm produces the maximum feasible output torque and minimizes the speed drop. Numerical simulation verifies the efficiency and efficacy of both proposed methodologies.

An indirect adaptive neuro-fuzzy speed control of induction motors

This paper presents an indirect adaptive system based on neuro-fuzzy approximators for the speed control of induction motors. The uncertainty including parametric variations, the external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics is estimated and compensated by designing neuro-fuzzy systems. The contribution of this paper is presenting a stability analysis for neuro-fuzzy speed control of inducti...

On speed control of induction motors

In a recent paper 3] Espinosa and Ortega presented an output feedback globally stable speed tracking controller for induction motors. An important feature of the scheme is that it does not require state observers, thus reducing the computational burden, a critical limiting factor in physical implementations. The performance of the scheme is limited by the fact that the convergence rate of the s...

Brownian motors: current fluctuations and rectification efficiency.

With this work, we investigate an often neglected aspect of Brownian motor transport, namely, the role of fluctuations of the noise-induced current and its consequences for the efficiency of rectifying noise. In doing so, we consider a Brownian inertial motor that is driven by an unbiased monochromatic, time-periodic force and thermal noise. Typically, we find that the asymptotic, time-, and no...

Global asymptotic stability of indirect field-oriented speed control of current-fed induction motors

In this short paper, we show that the indirect field-oriented controller for currentfed induction motors guarantees the global asymptotic stability of speed tracking error for time-varying speed and rotor flux references. The load torque is assumed to be constant but is unknown.
