Speed sensorless hybrid vector controlled induction motor with zero speed operation

摘要

A speed sensorless hybrid vector control starts from zero speed by using indirect vector control with stator frequency equal to slip frequency. As soon as the rotor begins to rotate, the drive is converted to direct vector control for normal operation. The direct vector control uses several low pass filters. The first is a harmonic reducing filter for the sensed motor phase current and voltage signals. The others comprise integration apparatus used in the calculation of motor flux quantities from the motor phase current and voltage signals. One of these other filters has a phase lag which is variable in response to stator frequency to compensate for phase lag introduced by the harmonic reducing filter; and the apparatus is thus able to produce a phase compensated set of unit vectors for vector rotation of the commanded stator voltage components from the synchronous to the stationary reference frame as well as a set of non-phase compensated unit vectors for inverse vector rotation of the estimated stator current components from the stationary to the synchronous reference frame. This allows the motor to operate at any point in the torque speed range, down to zero speed if a braking load torque is applied against a smaller input commanded torque, with the resulting torque current flow allowing the drive to remain in direct vector control.
