The windup phenomenon appears and degrades control performance when a controller with integrating action is used and plant input is limited. An anti-windup integal-proportional(IP) controller is proposed for the variable-speed moter drives and it is experimentally applied to the speed control of a vector-controlled induction moter driven by a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverter (VSI). The consistency range of the IP controller is firstly derived and the intergal state is controlled to salisfy always the consistency range according to whether the the controller output is saturated or not. Although the operating condition like moter load or speed command is changed under the limited plant input, It is expermentally verified that the speed response has much improved performance, such as no overshoot and fast settling time, and the maximmum plant input is also effectively utilized.

To control the speed of IPMSM drives it is necessary to know the speed and the rotor position. This is normally done by measurement of this values with electromechenical sensors. In this paper, a new approach to the position elimination method for the high performance variable speed IPMSM drives with the current controlled PWM technique is presented. For the high performance drive capability in the speed region, a Extended Kalman filter algorithm is adopted to estimate the rotor position as well as the angular velocity for the practical sensorless IPMSM drives. The high performance drive characteristics of the proposed method are verified using the wide simulation.

In this paper, a high speed motor drive system using an indirect adaptive neural network controller is proposed. In the variable high speed motor drives, the speed response can be deteriorated by long settling time and high overshoot. To obtain a good dynamical performance, an adaptive feedforward controller consisted of Neural Network Controller(NNC) and Neural Network Emulator(NNE) is applied. The NNE is used to identify the parameters and characteristics of high speed motor. To train the controller, the weights are dynamically adjusted using the back propagation algorithm. Computer simulation and implementation of the proposed system is described.

In this paper, a new estimation algorithm for the rotor speed for SRM drives is described. The algorithm is implemented by the binary observer. The stability and robustness of the binary observer for the parameter variations of the SRM are proved by variable structure control theory. Variable speed control of the SRM is accomplished by the estimated speed. Experiment results verify that the binary observer is able to estimate the speed.

Multi-level inverters are now receiving widespread interest form the industrial drives for high power variable speed applications. Especially, for the high power variable speed applications, a diode clamped multi-level inverter has been widely used. However, it has the inherent problem that the voltage of the link capacitors fluctuates. This paper describes a voltage control scheme effectively to suppress the DC-link potential fluctuation for a diode clamped four-level inverter. The current to flow from/into the each link capacitor is analyzed and the operation limit is obtained when a conventional SVPWM is used. To overcome the operation limit, a modified carrier-based SVPWM is proposed. Various simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the proposed voltage control scheme for DC-link voltage balancing.

Variable-speed drives are being continually innovated. Recently, sensorless induction motor drives have been much studied due to several advantages. Most sensorless algorithms are based on the mathematical modeling of motors, and all the information is obtained from the monitored voltages and currents. Therefore, the accuracy of such variables largely affects the performance of a sensorless induction motor drive. However, the output voltage of the SVPWM-VSI which is widely used in a sensorless induction motor drive has a considerable error, especially in a low speed range. This paper proposes a variation of the dc link voltage as a high-performance strategy for overcoming the above problem. The proposed strategy leads to an improved resolution of the output voltage of the SVPWM-VSI in a sensorless induction motor drive. Simulation and experiment have been performed for the verification of the proposed strategy.

High-performance Current Source Inverter (CSI)-fed, variable speed alternating current drives are prepared for various industrial applications. CSI-fed Induction Motor (IM) drives are managed by using different control methods. Noteworthy methods include scalar Control (V/f), Input-Output Linearization (IOL) control, Field-Oriented Control (FOC), and Direct Torque Control (DTC). The objective of this work is to compare the dynamic performance of the aforementioned drive control methods for CSI-fed IM drives. The dynamic performance results of the proposed drives are individually analyzed through sensitivity tests. The tests selected for the comparison are step changes in the reference speed and torque of the motor drive. The operation and performance of different vector control methods are verified through simulations with MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results.

The windup phenomenon appears and results in the performance degradation when the PI controller output is saturated. A new anti-windup PI controller is proposed to improve the control performance of the variable-speed motor drives and it is experimentally applied to the speed control of a vector-controlled induction motor driven by a pulse width modulated(PWM) voltage source inverter (VSI). The integral state is separately controlled corresponding to whether the PI controller output is saturated or not. The experimental results show that the speed response has the much improved performances such as small overshoot and fast settling time over the conventional anti-windup technique. Although the operating speed command is changed, the similar control performance can be obtained by using the PI gains selected in the linear region.
