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.

The rotor resistance variation has a large effect on the field oriented control system of induction machine. In this paper, the adaptation technique based on MRAC is used to identify the rotor resistance variation. The criterion function used in the adaptation algorithm is the error function of the two reactive powers of the induction motor. The one is obtained from the voltages and the currents of the stator of the induction motor. And the other is estimated from the rotor flux and stator current. We simulated this control system operated by field oriented control and assured the robustness of the induction motor control system against the rotor resistence variation.

In this paper we present a new vector control scheme for induction motor. An exact knowledge of the rotor flux position is essential for a high-performance vector control. The position of the rotor flux is measured in the direct scheme or estimated in the indirect schemes. Since the estimation of the flux position requires a priori knowledge of the induction motor parameters, the indirect schemes are machine parameter dependent. The rotor resistance and stator resistance among the parameters change with temperature. Variations in the parameters of induction machine cause deterioration of both the steady state and dynamic operation of the induction motor drive. Several methods have been presented to minimize the consequences of parameter sensitivity in indirect scheme. In this paper new estimation scheme of rotor flux position is presented to eliminate sensitivity due to resistance change with temperature. Simulation results are used to verify the performance of the proposed vector control scheme.

This paper consists of the speed sensorless vector control of induction motors with the estimation of rotor resistance. In the application of variable-speed induction motor drives, if an inaccurate rotor resistance is used because the rotor resistance can change due to skin effects and temperature variables, it is difficult to achieve a collect field orientation. In this paper, to overcome these difficulties adaptive algorithm is designed for rotor resistance identification at the beginning of the transient state. And an adaptive flux observer is used for the purpose of estimating rotor flux and speed in the speed sensorless scheme. Computer simulations are carried out to verity the validity of the proposed algorithm.

In the rotor-flux oriented control used in induction motors, the electrical parameters of the motors should be identified. Among these parameters, the mutual inductance and rotor resistance should be accurately tuned for better operations. However, they are more difficult to identify than the stator resistance and stator transient inductance. The rotor resistance and mutual inductance can change in operations due to flux saturation and heat generation. When detuning of these parameters occurs, the performance of the control is degenerated. In this paper, a novel method for the concurrent identification of the two parameters is proposed based on recursive least square estimation and model reference adaptive control.

In this paper, to overcome these difficulties adaptive algorithm is designed for rotor resistance identification. The proposed adaptive algorithm for rotor resistance estimation in the synchronous reference frame is applied by sliding mode current controller satisfing persistent excitation(PE) condition. Adaptive flux observer is here used for the purpose of estimating rotor flux and speed in the speed sensorless scheme. Computer simulations are carried out to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an effective on-line identification method for rotor resistance, which is useful in making speed control of induction motors without rotational transducers robust with respect to the variation in rotor resistance. Our identification method for rotor resistance is based on the linearly perturbed equations of the closed-loop system for sensorless speed control about th operating point. Our identification method for rotor resistance uses only the information of stator currents and voltages. In can provide fairly good identification accuracy regardless of load conditions. Some experimental results are presented to demonstrate the practical use of our identification method. For our experimental work, we have built a sensorless control system, in which all algorithms are implemented on a DSP. Our experimental results confirm that our on-line identification method allows for high precision speed control of commercially available induction motors without rotational transducers.

In this paper, a new speed sensorless induction motor scheme which can estimate rotor speed and rotor resistance simultaneously is presented. The rotor flux with a low frequency sinusoidal waveform is used to conduct on-line simultaneous estimation of the rotor speed and rotor resistance. Hence the proposed sensorless control method is robust to rotor resistance variations. Also, the control scheme has no current minor loop to determine voltage references. It contributes to good control performance at low speeds. Some simulation results supported by experiments are given to show the effectiveness of this method.

We propose a nonlinear feedback controller that can control the induction motors with high dynamic performance by means of decoupling of motor speed and rotor flux. A new recursive adaptation algorithm for rotor resistance which can be applied to our nonlinear feedback controller is also presented in this paper. Some simulation results show that the adaptation algorithm for rotor resistance is robust against the variation of stator resistance and mutual inductance. In addition, it is computationally simple and has small estimation errors.
