It is proposed a new compensation method in the rotor time constant of indirect vector controlled induction motor. The proposed scheme is an on-line method using the stator current error that is the difference between current command and estimated current calculated from terminal voltages and currents. As the current error becomes to zero, the rotor time constant in the vector controller approaches the real value. The proposed method shows good performances in the transient region as well as in the steady state region regardless of load torque variation, and it is verified by the computer simulation using SIMULINK in Matlab.

In this article a neural network adaptive observer is proposed and applied to the case of induction motor control. The high performance vector control drives require exact knowledge of rotor flux. Because rotor time constant is needed to observe rotor flux, the accurate estimation of rotor time constant is important. For these problems, proposed observer which comprises neural network flux observer and neural network torque observer is trained to learn the flux dynamics and torque dynamics and subject to further on-line training by means of a backpropagation algorithem. Therefore it has been shown that the robust control of induction motor neglects the rotor time constant variations.

This paper is proposed an adaptive fuzzy controller of induction motor drive. The adaptive fuzzy controller approach for an estimate of the rotor time constant which is used to adjust the estimate of the slip angular speed. An estimate of the rotor time constant was obtained using an model reference adaptive system(MRAS) in a fuzzy control scheme. The rotor time constant was estimated by utilizing the rotor nut estimates. This paper is proposed the theoretical analysis as well as the simulation results to verify the effectiveness of the new method.

The accurate identification of the motor parameters is crucially important to achieve high dynamic performance of induction motors. In this paper, th motor parameters such as stator(rotor) resistance, stator(rotor) leakage inductance, mutual inductance, and rotor inertia are measured in off-line. Stator(rotor) resistance and stator(rotor) leakage inductance are measured based on the stationary coordinate equations of induction motors. On the other hand, mutual inductance are measured under the scalar control. Finally, the inverse rotor time constant is identified in on-line using an extended kalman filter algorithm. To demonstrate the practical significance of the results, Some experimental results are presented.

To obtain a high performance in a vector controlled induction machine, it is essential to know the instantaneous position of the rotor flux which depends on the rotor time constant. But the rotor time constant mainly varies due to the temperature rise in the motor winding, so real time compensating algorithm is necessary. This paper proposes that it uses short duration pulses added to the constant flux command current and then resultant torque command current produced by speed controller is utilized for the rotor resistance estimation. This method has advantages with a low computational requirement and does not require voltage sensors. The proposed method is proved by simulations.

A miniature size electrostatic induction motor has been fabricated and studied with emphasis on the role of the surface resistivity, the relative dielectric constant and the charge relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials and the rotor liner materials, which, however, control the surface charge induction and relaxation on the rotor material surface and the field intensity between the rotor and the stator of the motor. It is found that the surface resistivity and/or the relative dielectric constant, and the charge relaxation time constant of the rotor surface material enfluenced significantly to motor speed controlled by the surface charge induction and relaxation on the rotor surface depending on the applied voltage and/or frequency changing. The resistivity of the rotor liner material is also found to be effected to the motor speed greatly by control of the field intensity between the rotor and the stator and of the surface charge distribution of the induced charge on the rotor. As a result, a maximum no load rotor speed of the motor tested was about 5500 rpm at the applied voltage of 4.5 kV and the frequency of 220 Hz for the case of the rotor surface material of $BaTiO_{3}$ 80% in the resin binder layered on the copper-foil rotor liner material.

In indirect vector control, if the value or the rotor tine constant used in slip calculation is different from the actual rotor time constant because of the temperature rising and flux saturation level, model flux angle and actual flux angle is different so that the transient and steady state response is degraded. In this paper, flux deviation angle is calculated by using actual torque and reference torque, and this flux deviation angle is summed to slip angle, therefore rotor flux angle is always accurate and indirect vector control is satisfied.

A miniature size electrostatic induction motor has been fabricated and studied parameters Influencing dominantly to the motor speed, such as a voltage and frequency of the 3 phase ac power source supplied to the stator of fabricated motor, the surface resistivity and relative dielectric constant of the rotor surface materials and the concurrently calculated relaxation time constants. It is found that the higher resitivity and/or the higher relative dielectric constant, concurrently the longer relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials make the motor speed get higher speed. In case of discrete coated rotor surface it is found that the motor speed was increased logarithmically as narrow as width of the discrete coated Ti. And the degree of width of discrete coated Ti to the axial direction of the rotor was 60$^{\circ}$ and 150$^{\circ}$, the motor has got a 125% higher than that at the degree of 0$^{\circ}$.

This paper presents a novel method of slip-compensation for rotor time constant variation in indirect field orientation control of induction motor drives. In field oriented control due to variation of rotor time constant, decoupling between the flux and torque components of stator current is lost and hence, the performance of operation of the machine deteriorates. To solve the problem, the q-axis is aligned to reference frame without phase difference by comparing the real flux component with the reference flux component. Then to compensate the slip, PI controller is used. The proposed method keeps a constant slip by compensating the gain of direct slip frequency when the rotor resistance of induction motor varies. To prove the validations of the proposed algorithm in the paper, computer simulations and experiments are executed.

The vector control system of an induction motor is the high performance drive system to achieve the instantaneous torque control. The vector control system is greatly divided into the direct control, and the indirect control that the most widely is used, The indirect vector control needs the rotor time constant, which changes widely according to the temperature, frequency, and current amplitude. The incorrect time constant leads to the saturation of magnetic flux or under-excitation phenomena. As a result, that deteriorate the control performance. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of time constant variation is investigated and its on-line tuning algorithm is proposed. The time constant using the torque angles was calculated and that of the validity of algorithm proposed was proved through the computer simulation and the experiment.
