Abstract
This paper uses a stator current error-based model reference adaptive system (MRAS) to estimate the speed of an induction motor drive. Usually, speed error signal uses the cross product of stator current error vector and flux linkage vector for the estimation of speed. However, this speed error signal has limitations, such as speed tracking error and instability (at regenerative mode) under loaded conditions at low speeds. To mitigate these issues, a modified MRAS speed estimation algorithm is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, the adaptive model state variables are formulated in terms of flux linkages (stator and rotor) in order to alleviate the impact of current noise in the flux linkage estimation. Moreover, a compensator is added to reduce the speed error tracking in the reference model. Furthermore, the stability of the drive is kept by using the dot product of stator current error vector and the rotor flux linkage vector during the regenerative mode of operation. The analysis of the proposed algorithm is presented and validated experimentally on the laboratory setup with direct torque control-space vector modulation technique for a wide operating range including the dynamic performance.
