Adaptive field-oriented control of an IM using predictive control

A novel adaptive control algorithm for the field-oriented control of a CSI-fed induction machine is presented. It includes an adaptive flux model for determining the position and magnitude of the rotor field vector, which avoids the need to obtain the orientation and magnitude of the flux for purposes of feedback. This online estimation of field vector requires the measurements of stator voltage and rotor speed. The algorithm has been tested by simulating the machine using a digital computer. The controller perform well, and the machine parameters are estimated with reasonable accuracy. The controller has a self-adjusting mechanism and adjusts itself to any variation of machine parameters during operation. It can be applied to any machine and requires no tuning. The scheme is being tested on a machine inverter setup controlled by a microcomputer     

Adaptive on-line flux estimation in field-oriented control of an IM

An adaptive technique for the online estimation of the rotor field vector to use as a feedback for the field-oriented control of an induction machine (IM) is described. This method makes use of the stator voltage and rotor speed measurements. It uses the least square estimation technique for identifying the machine parameters to be used in the estimation of the field vector. The position and magnitude of the flux vector are identified during the normal operation of the machine by applying some special constraints to the forcing function. This constraint is applied only for a short duration to make some measurements, and the machine performance is not affected. Extensive simulation of the system has been carried out, and the results are presented
