Novel induction motor control optimizing both torque response and efficiency is proposed in the paper. The main contribution of the paper is a new structure of rotor flux observer aimed for the speed-sensorless operation of induction machine servo-drive at both, low and high speed, where rapid speed changes can occur. The control differs from the conventional field-oriented control. Stator and ...

This paper deals with the design of a controller for an induction motor electrical drive useful for high speed railway applications. The design of the controller is based on the cascade control mode using the standard model of the motor referred to d-q axes fixed with the rotor flux vector. It is assumed that the speed and the rotor flux are the variables to be controlled and their dynamics hav...

In this paper, the diagnosis of broken rotor bar (BRB) is investigated analytically and experimentally based on induction motors (IM) with variable speed drives (VSD). The analysis of the VSD process has understood that the sensorless control mode adjusts both supply voltage and current in order to maintain the operating speed within high accuracy. It means that any asymmetric problems with the...

A novel control strategy is proposed in this paper for the rotor side converter (RSC) of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind power generation systems. It is supposed to enhance the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of DFIGs during great-level grid voltage dips. The strategy consists of a proportional-resonant (PR) controller and auxiliary PR controllers. The auxiliary cont...

HV The motors of hybrid electric vehicles must be able to offer high efficiency, a high power/weight ratio, and excellent reliability across the entire rotor speed range. Interior permanent magnet synchronous (IPM) motors are used to satisfy these requirements. The goal of this study was to develop an IPM motor control method that would increase the torque and the efficiency at high and medium ...

During non-severe fault conditions, crowbar protection is not activated and the rotor windings of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) are excited by the AC/DC/AC converter. Meanwhile, under asymmetrical fault conditions, the electrical variables oscillate at twice the grid frequency in synchronous dq frame. In the engineering practice, notch filters are usually used to extract the positive ...
