Abstract
This paper presents a new technique for online identificationof an induction motor rotor time constant. The techniqueis designed for a shaft-sensorless indirect field-oriented controlinduction motor drive with a model reference adaptive system(MRAS)-based speed estimator. The MRAS estimator is sensitiveto the changes in the rotor time constant, and online identificationof that parameter is essential. If rotor parameter error exists, itdoes not only change the achieved rotor speed, but it also changesthe dynamic behavior of the ....etc

Position Sensorless Control of Switched Reluctance Generator for Wind Energy Conversion

Abstract
This paper presents a novel sensorless control system of switched reluctance generator (SRG) in order to reduce cost, simplify system structure and increase reliability. Considering nonlinear characteristics of SRG and robustness of sliding mode observer (SMO), sensorless control method of SRG based on SMO is proposed and analyzed. For wind energy conversion system (WECS), a voltage-source PWM inverter is used to make power output of SR ....etc

Sensorless Indirect Stator Field Orientation Speed Control for Single-Phase Induction Motor Drive
Abstract
The industrial requirements for the control of an inductionmachine without a mechanical sensor continue to be ofinterest, as evidenced by the most recent publications. The focusis on improvements of control without a mechanical sensor. A newmethod for the implementation of a sensorless indirect stator-fluxorientedcontrol (ISFOC) of a single-phase induction motor (SPIM)drive is proposed in this paper. The proposed method of rotor ....etc

Abstract
In this paper, a sensorless induction motorparameter identification is presented. Sensorless control employsa variety of estimators and observers of motor speed, torque andfluxes, and accurate information about motor parameters iscrucial to obtain a high performance control. The parameters ofthe induction motor equivalent circuit are obtained by means ofDC an AC tests using the voltage-source inverter. When theseparameters are estimated a closed loop flux estimator and an openloop speed estimator are implemented to determine ....etc

A variable-speed controller, for an existing 225 kW fixed-speed wind power generator, is presented in this paper. A sensorless direct torque control algorithm-based controller is proposed for the squirrel-cage induction generator. Generator torque reference is derived based on sensorless maximum power tracking mode algorithm, up to the base speed of the generator. A three-phase front-end converter is used here to deliver the generated power to the grid with unity-power-factor operation at all wind speeds. This algorithm is based on direct activ ....etc

FLUX ESTIMATORS FOR SPEED-SENSORLESS
INDUCTION MOTOR DRIVES



Abstract

This thesis deals with flux estimators for speed-sensorless induction motor drives. To enhance
the stability and the performance of state-of-the-art sensorless drives, new flux estimator
designs based on the standard motor model are proposed. Theoretical and experimental
research methods are both used. The dynamics and stability of flux estimators
are analyzed using linearized models, and the effects of parameter errors are investig ....etc
