Speed Sensorless Control of Induction Motor Using Reactive Power

무효전력에 의한 유도전동기의 센서리스 속도제어

Speed and torque controls of induction motors are usually attained by the application of position and speed sensors. However, speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability in harsh environments and increase the cost of a motor. Therefore, many studies have been performed for the elimination of speed and position sensors. This paper investigates an improved sensorless control of an induction motor. The proposed control strategy utilizes the reactive power for estimating the speed of a sensorless induction motor. The proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation and experimentation.
