Abstract

An improving field-oriented control technique without current sensors is proposed to control rotor speed for an induction motor drive. The estimated stator currents based on the slip frequency are used instead of feedback current signals in the field-oriented control (FOC) loop. The reference signals and the estimated currents through computation steps are used to generate the control voltage for the switching inverter. Simulations were performed in Matlab/Simulink environment at rated speed and low-speed range to demonstrate the method's feasibility. Through simulation results, the FOC method using virtual sensors has proved its effectiveness in ensuring the stable operation of the induction motor drive (IMD) over a wide speed range.

Abstract

This paper conducts research on sensor fault diagnosis for a three-phase induction motor drive (IMD) in steady-state operation. An improving diagnostic technique based on the integration algorithm of the sinusoidal current signal is proposed for detecting and locating faulty current sensors in the induction motor drive. The IMD integrated a proposed fault detection-isolation (FDI) system is investigated for operating characteristics when sensor failures occur. The faulty sensor needs to be accurately identified and quickly isolated from the control system. Then the estimated signal will be used to replace the fault signal to retain the IMD stability. MATLAB/Simulink software will be applied to simulate the speed-torque characteristics of the IMD system as well as sensor failures occurring during operation. The performance of the proposed method will be evaluated through the accuracy and timeliness in each fault case corresponding to each sensor.
