A novel speed sensor-less direct torque control system for mining locomotive haulage

摘要

A novel speed sensor-less direct torque control induction motor drive system for the mining locomotive haulage is presented in the paper. Rotor speed identification is based on the model reference adaptive control theory with neural network using back propagation algorithm. The system is implemented using a real-time TMS320F240 digital signal processor. The simulation study and experiment results indicate that the suggested system has good performance.
