This paper presents a new approach method for online rotor and stator resistance estimation of induction motors using artificial neural networks for the sensorless drive. In this method, the rotor resistance is estimated by a feed-forward neural network with the learning rate as a function. The stator resistance is also estimated using the two-layered neural network with learning rate as a function. The speed of the induction motor is also estimated by the neural network. Therefore, the accurate estimation of the rotor and stator resistance improved the quality of the sensorless induction motor drive. The results of simulation and experiment show that the estimated speed tracks the real speed of the induction motor; simultaneously, the error between the estimated rotor and stator resistance using neural network and the normal rotor and stator resistance is very small.

This paper proposes the design of sensorless induction motor drive based on direct power control (DPC) technique. It is shown that DPC technique enjoys all advantages of pervious methods such as fast dynamic and ease of implementation, without having their problems. To reduce the cost of drive and enhance the reliability, an effective sensorless strategy based on artificial neural network (ANN) is developed to estimate rotor’s position and speed of induction motor. Developed sensorless scheme is a new model reference adaptive system (MRAS) speed observer for direct power control induction motor drives. The proposed MRAS speed observer uses the current model as an adaptive model. The neural network has been then designed and trained online by employing a back propagation network (BPN) algorithm. The estimator was designed and simulated in Simulink. Some simulations are carried out for the closed-loop speed control systems under various load conditions to verify the proposed methods. Simulation results confirm the performance of ANN based sensorless DPC induction motor drive in various conditions.

Controlled induction motor drives without mechanical speed sensors at the motor shaft have the attractions of low cost and high reliability. For these speed sensorless AC drive system, it is key to realize speed estimation accurately. This paper describes a Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) based scheme using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for online speed estimation of sensorless vector controlled induction motor drive. The neural network has been then designed and trained online by employing a back propagation network (BPN) algorithm. The estimator was designed and simulated in Matlab. Simulation result shows a good performance of speed estimator. Also Performance analysis of speed estimator with the change in resistances of stator is presented. Simulation results show this estimator robust to resistances of stator variations.
