An Approach of Position and Torque Estimation for Induction Motor based Sensor-less Drive

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach with stability analysis, simulation and experimental investigation of a sliding mode based estimator for rotor-position and torque-load calculation in high performance speed-sensor-less AC motor drive. The proposed algorithm is built based on the induction motor (IM) fluxes equations for two rotationg referential frames. The First equation calculates the stator flux vector while the second gives the rotor flux vector. Moreover, the stator flux equation is linked to a stator-flux rotating referential frame and the rotor flux equation is linked to a rotor-flux rotating referential frame. Among merits of the proposed technique is no necessity to rotor-speed measurement and adaptation. Thus, it is well suitable to the fully speed-sensorless scheme. The whole observer stability is verified by using of Lyapunov’s principle. Simulations are done by using Matlab-Simulink and experimental implementation is performed in order to prove the feasibility of proposed algorithm. The illustrated results are shown by using a DS1104 controller board.
