Induction Machine Speed Estimation - Observations on Observers

Peterson, Bo LU (1996)
Abstract
This work focuses on observers estimating flux linkage and speed for induction machines, mainly in the low speed region. With speed estimation, sensorless control is possible, meaning that the speed of induction machines without mechanical speed sensors can be controlled. The observer based sensorless drive system has superior dynamic performance compared to a system with an open loop frequency inverter, yet it is neither more complex nor expensive. Using mechanical equivalent models of the induction machine and observers, an accurate flux observer working in the entire speed region of the induction machine is presented. The flux observer is expanded into a combined flux and speed observer, measuring only stator current and voltage. A... (More)

Popular Abstract in Swedish

Asynkronmotorn är den mest använda elektriska motorn i industriella tillämpningar. För att effektivt kunna varvtalsreglera asynkronmotorn har varvtalet hittills behövt mätas. Den extrautrustning som krävs för varvtalsmätning är dyr och komplicerad. Avhandlingen presenterar en metod som beräknar, eller upskattar varvtalet, istället för att mäta det. För att beräkna varvtalet räcker det att spänning och ström mäts, vilket är enklare än varvtalsmätning.
