A simple approach to flux and speed observation in induction motor drives

摘要

The stator flux orientation concept allows to obtain very good transient and steady state performances in induction motor drives. However, this control strategy can be conveniently implemented only if the stator flux is correctly observed in all the speed range. The authors have developed a simple flux observer that gives very satisfactory results especially near zero speed, and the approach which has been followed also allows good speed estimation. The observer has been both simulated and implemented on an experimental system that uses a single chip to control the whole drive system. The experimental results show excellent performances despite the low computational load.
