Globally Stable

In the rotor reference frame, the input-output linearization theory was adopted to decouple the rotor position and rotor flux. We then designed two adaptation laws to estimate the rotor resistance and mechanical parameters of the motor. The passive properties of the negative feedback connection from the rotor flux observer to the rotor resistance estimator, and the position controller were analyzed according to the passivity theorem. The overall control system was proved to be globally stable. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed scheme is robust to the variations of the rotor resistance and load torque disturbances. Furthermore, the estimated parameters can converge to the actual values.

Rotor Flux

This paper presents the passivity-based rotor resistance and mechanical paramters estimation, and the position control for induction motors. Firstly, the input-output linearization theory is employed to decouple the rotor flux amplitude and the rotor position at the transient state. An open-loop current model flux observer then estimates the rotor flux. Furthermore, we adopted the gradient algorithm to design adaptive laws to estimate the rotor resistance, moment of inertia, viscous coefficient, and load torque. The passive properties of the feedback connection of the rotor flux observer to the rotor resistance estimator, and the position controller are analyzed by the passivity theorem. According to the properties, the overall control system is proved to be globally stable without using Lyapunov-type arguments. Finally, experimental results are provided to show that the proposed method is robust to variations of the mechanical parameters and load torque disturbances. Moreover, good position tracking response and parameters estimating characteristic can be obtained.

The Stability

PurposeThe major disadvantage of the field-oriented control (FOC) scheme of induction motors is its dependency on motor parameter variations because of the temperature rise. Among the motor parameters, rotor resistance is a parameter that can degrade the robustness of FOC scheme. An inaccurate setting of the rotor resistance in the slip frequency may result in undesirable cross coupling and performance degradation. To overcome this disadvantage, the purpose of this paper is to propose a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) rotor time constant tuning to improve the induction motor drive performance and to compensate the flux orientation error in vector control law.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the dynamic model and the indirect field-oriented control of induction motor are derived. Then, an inverse rotor time constant tuning is proposed based on MRAS theory where a new adaptation signal formulation is used as reference model, and the estimated stator currents obtained from induction motors (IM) state space resolution is used in the adaptive model.FindingsThe effectiveness and robustness of IM speed control with the proposed MRAS inverse rotor time constant estimator is verified through MATrix LABoratory/Simulink model simulation and laboratory experimental results. The simulation and experimental results show good transient drive performances, satisfactory for rotor resistance estimation and robustness with regard to uncertainties and load torque disturbance.Originality/valueThis paper presents an online tuning of the inverse rotor time constant using a new adaptation signal MRAS model. The proposed estimator is proved to guarantee the stability for different operating conditions, especially in very low/zero speed region and heavy load torque. The stability analysis of the proposed estimation procedure is also demonstrated.

Rotor Resistance Estimation

Based on the passivity theorem, an approach of the rotor resistance estimation and sliding mode position control for induction motor drives is proposed in this paper. Owing to values of the moment of inertia and the viscous coefficient of induction motors are generally small, the load torque disturbance is a critical term to create the chattering phenomenon. The adaptive laws are taken into account for estimating the rotor resistance and the gain of a load torque. Therefore, the chattering associated with the conventional sliding mode controller can be alleviated. The stability analysis of the estimator and the position control system is carried out by employing the passivity theorem. Finally, experimental results are presented to show the performance and robustness of the estimator and the controller with the variations of the motor mechanical parameters, rotor resistance, and load torque disturbances.
