Maximum efficiency control scheme in a stator flux-oriented induction motor drive is proposed for minimizing input dc power. Flux level is decreased in steps for searching the minimum input dc power. In addition, Torque equation, slip angular frequency, and decoupling compensation current considering iron loss resistance is used. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper describes a novel flux calculator for the estimation of real rotor flux angle which is indispensable to the field oriented control of induction motors. A pure integrator is used to estimate the real rotor flux precisely from voltage and current information. The proposed flux calculator adopts the new drift compensation method to overcome the drift problem of pure integrator. The motor speed is calculated using estimated flux angle and estimated slip frequency. The performance of this approach is verified through the experiment. The experimental results shows stable operation of proposed system even below 1/100 of rated speed.

An inverter-excited induction generator is discussed in this paper. A brief review of the capacitor-excited induction generator is given and the steady state characteristics of the induction generator excited by an inverter are evaluated. It is shown that the output voltage of the system can be controlled by adjusting the slip, for given operating conditions. The introduction of feedback control makes it possible to control the output voltage stably over the wide range of speed and load. Experimental results are given. The output of the induction generator is then converted into a CVCF(Constant Voltage-Constant Frequency) power source using a PWM inverter with simple control circuit.

This paper presents a new rotor resistance identification algorithm for induction motors. The algorithm is derived form the fact that the slip frequency given in the d-q rotating frame is equal to that measured in the x-y fixed frame. Rotor resistance varies greatly with the machine temperature. In certain cases, the rotor resistance can increase 100 % over its ambient or nominal value. This deteriorates the dynamic performance of vector control systems for induction motors. However, the control scheme proposed in this paper is robust with respect to variations in rotor resistance because an efficient identification algorithm for rotor resistance is employed. To illuminate the performance of the proposed controller further, the simulation results are presented.

In order to implement the direct vector control type sensorless vector control, the rotor flux and the angular speed of the rotor can only be estimated through the measurement of the stationary voltage and current states. To estimate the rotor flux, the use of the rotor flux observer(RFO) has been proposed. It is known that the RFO is relatively insensitive to parameter variations. Using the rotor flux value obtained from the RFO, the rotor flux vector can be estimated. The angular speed of the rotor is estimated by the difference between the synchronous angular speed and the slip angular speed, both of which are derived from the rotor flux vector. However unwanted high order frequency waves become incorporated into the synchronous angular speed during calculations. Thus we propose the use of digital filters that will eliminate these high frequency waves. We have demonstrated through computer simulations that the use of filters results in stable system activity over a wide speed range and good response to load variations.

This paper deals with the secondary excited induction generator applied to random energy input generation system. As it is preferred to stabilize the output voltage and frequency in the constant level, microcomputer controlled inverter connected to the secondary windings supplies the secondary current with slip frequency. For testing the appropriateness of this paper, the input torque simulator, which generate the statistically varied wave power input torque in the laboratory to drive the secondary excited induction generator, are constructed. The experimental and numerical results show the advantage of secondary excited induction generator system for the random input wave generation system.

A 6-DOF precision stage was developed based on parallel kinematics structure with flexure hinges to eliminate backlash, stick-slip and friction and to minimize parasitic motion coupled with motions in the other-axis directions. For the stage, lever linkage mechanism was devised to reduce the height of system for the enhancement of horizontal stiffness. Frequency response comparison between experimental results and mathematical model extracted from dynamics of the stage was performed to identify the system parameters such as spring constants and damping coefficients of actuation modules, which cannot be calculated accurately by analytic methods owing to their complicated structures. This newly developed precision stage and its identified model will be very useful for precision positioning and control because of its high accuracy and non-coupled movement.

In the vector controlled induction machine drives, mechanical speed sensors such as shaft encoder and resolver have been used. However, the mechanical speed sensors present some problems and restrict the wide applications of high performance AC drives. This paper describes the vector control strategy with the speed estimation algorithm in which motor slip frequency is calculated. Also, the angle deviation of the rotor flux vector is calculated and instaneously compensated to keep the q axis flux zero in the rotationary reference frame.

In the speed sensorless control of the induction motor, the machine parameters (especially the secondary resistance R2) have a strong influence to the speed estimation. It is known that the simultaneous estimation of the speed and R2 is impossible in the slip frequency type vector control, because the secondary flux is constant. But the secondary flux is not always constant in the speed transient state. In this paper the R2 estimation in the transient state without adding any additional signal to the stator current is proposed. This algorithm uses the least mean square algorithm and the adaptive algorithm, and it is possible to estimate the R2 exactly. This algorithm is verified by the digital simulations and the experiments.

This paper proposes a simple identification method of the rotor time constant to solve the degradation of motor performance due to the difference between the rotor time constant of a controller and actual one in slip frequency type vector control scheme. The proposed method is based on rotor induced voltage equations and it is confirmed that immunity of the stator resistance thermal variation. The simulation results show that the proposed method suitably identifies the rotor time constant in steady state as well as in transient state.
