In field oriented control of Induction motors, speed sensor is required, which reduces the sturdiness of drive system and together with the expenditure of hardware for faultless transmission and processing of sensor signals it causes considerable expenses. These expensive sensors can be replaced by speed sensorless concept. And for good control, the knowledge of the rotor flux component or the rotor resistance are needs. Thus, this paper is based on a Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) that estimates the state variables that are required for the control by only measuring the line voltages and currents of the machine. the rotor time constant and speed estimated by the EKF show satisfactory agreement with the real values, with the simulation approaches.

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.

The newly developed speed sensorless control scheme is proposed to estimate both motor speed and rotor resistance simultaneously using variable rotor flux. The rotor flux is given as sinusoidal waveform with an amplitude and a frequency without affecting precise torque control. Especially the proposed method makes the simultaneous estimation of rotor resistance and speed with high precision even though at the low speed area including a few rpm. Moreover, on-line identification of rotor resistance can be performed simply without calculating troublesome trigonometric functions and complicated integral computation. Therefore, the proposed system can be accomplished by using very cheap microprocessors for several applications. The results of the numerical simulations and experiments demonstrate that this method is effective to estimate the speed and on-line identification of rotor resistance for sensorless induction motors.

Recently, cost of rare-earth magnets has been raised, because rare-earth magnets are monopolized and the export is also regulated in China. For this reason, the induction motor is operated without the rare-earth magnets. The efficient development of induction motor is more important for economical scheme. A torque of the induction motor is computed and the correlation between dimension and resistance of the squirrel cage rotor is investigated. Also, the correlation between leakage reactance and torque was analyzed with respect to the same dimension of rotor with different shapes. Therefore, this paper proposes the method of improvement for squirrel cage rotor.

The squirrel cage rotors of induction motors may have several faults such as broken bars, bad spots in end ring and abnormal skew caused by improper processing. These faults may cause bad effects on the performance of the induction motor. This paper proposes the detecting technique of these faults by analyzing the induced current of the detecting electric magnet, using 2-D finite element method taking account of the rotor movement.

A sensorless control of a PM synchronous motor with the compensation of the motor parameter variation is presented. The rotor position is estimated by using the d-axis and q-axis current errors between the real system and motor model of the position estimator. The stator resistance is measured at low speeds when the motor changes its rotating direction and the variation of the stator resistance and back emf constant caused by the temperature variation is compensated. The gains in the position estimator are also adapted according to the motor speeds.

단일 회전자 전동기와 달리 동일한 크기에서 높은 출력 밀도와 높은 토크의 장점이 있는 이중 회전자 구조를 갖는 전동기는 공간적 제약을 받는 전기 자동차, 전기 이륜차 등의 분야에 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이중 회전자 구조를 갖는 전동기는 고 토크 운전을 위해 이중 인버터 운전 방식이 요구된다. 이때, 내부와 외부전동기의 역기전력이 다를 때 이를 고려하지 않고 운전한다면 발생하는 동손이 증가하여 운전효율 저하로 이어진다. 본 논문에서는 이중 회전자 구조를 갖는 3상 BLDC 전동기에서 내부와 외부전동기의 역기전력비(${\alpha}$)와 고정자 저항 비(${\beta}$)를 고려한 전류분배방식을 통해 동손을 최소화하는 최적운전 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

The end-ring may contribute a significant influence to the performance of machine. The induced currents flow through the bars of a cage rotor and complete their closed paths by passing around the end-ring. This dissertation is to describe a method for calculating end-ring resistance of squirrel cage rotor, based on 3-D finite element method(A-$\Phi$). The resistance under consideration of skin effect is calculated by using Joule's loss equation.

This paper presents a developed outside rotor type induction motor for the fan. Nearly all of the induction motors consist of two parts, rotor and stator, and the position of rotor is generally inside of stator. However, the rotor of the developed induction motor is located outside of stator. It is believed that the outside rotor type induction motor is suitable for the fan due to its large inertia, that is, it is considered that the change of air flow rate resulting from input power or load fluctuation is reduced. In this paper, the two tests which are suitable to obtain the electrical parameters of the outside rotor type induction motor were described, then various parameters of outside rotor type induction motor were measured. These are the locked rotor test and no load test. By using these tests, it was possible to determine the parameters which are presented in the steady-state equivalent-circuit of the outside rotor type induction motor. Load test of induction motor was carried out using a dynamometer and the torque-speed curve was obtained. It is believed that the results of this paper can be used for the development of the outside rotor type induction motor.
