Review of Vector Control Strategies for Three Phase Induction Motor Drive


ABSTRACT:

In this paper a high performance induction motor drive without speed sensor is investigated. The rotor flux oriented indirect vector control scheme is used for obtaining high performance. In order to eliminate the speed sensor, a MRAS based speed estimator is designed for gathering the rotor speed information. Also a simple but effective loss minimization algorithm is integrated to calculate the optimal flux for efficiency improvement of the drive. Complete simulation model is developed in Simulink/MATLAB software. The performance of the developed system is analyzed with different operating conditions.

CONCLUSION:

In this paper, developed model of sensor less induction motor drive in Simulink/MATLAB software is investigated. Speed estimator is also developed using rotor flux based MRAS technique for sensor less operation. For efficiency improvement particularly under partial loads a model based loss minimization technique is applied. The drive performance is investigated for constant flux and the optimal flux. Drive shows good performance with the optimal flux under various operating conditions
