ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a new control scheme for controlling of Induction Machine. In this control mechanism we
are comparing the results with different schemes as 1. Rotor angle based speed estimation and 2. Phased lock
loop based speed estimation. Then it is preceded with comparison through these two estimation methods. The
simulation has been done and results is verified and validated in MATLAB /SIMULINK with different test
conditions.
KEYWORDS: Induction Motor, PLL, V/f Control.
INTRODUCTION
The adjustable speed drives (ASD) are used more and more in industrial processes. The widespread industrial
use of Induction Motor (IM) has been stimulated over the years by their relative cheapness, low maintenance
and high reliability. The control of IM variable speed drives [1] often requires control of machine currents,
which is normally achieved by using a voltage source inverter. A large number of control strategies have been
registered so far. The volts per hertz (v/f) control of IM drives with inverters are widely used in a number of
industrial applications promising not only energy saving, but also improvement in productivity and quality. The
low cost applications usually adopt v/f scalar control when no particular performance is required. Variable-
speed pumps, fans are the examples.
For those applications which require higher dynamic performance than v/f control, the dc motor like control of
IM that is called, the Field Oriented Control (FOC) is preferred. During the last few years, a particular interest
has been noted on applying speed FOC to high performance applications that is based on estimation of rotor
speed by using the machine parameters, instantaneous stator currents and voltages.The benefits of speed
sensorless control are the increased reliability of overall system with the removal of mechanical sensors, thereby
reducing sensor noise and drift effects as well as cost and size. However to exploit the benefits of sensorless
control, the speed estimation methods must achieve robustness against model and parameter uncertainties over a
wide speed range. To address this issue, a variety of approaches have been proposed.
While all the speed techniques eliminate the use of mechanical speed sensor, they require the stator current and
stator voltage signals as input. This requires at-least two current sensors and two voltage sensors on the stator
side. It is difficult to get current sensors with equal gains over the wide range of frequencies, voltages and
currents used in a practical inverter. The problem is exacerbated if the motor windings are not perfectly
balanced or if the current sensors have some dc offset. Over last few years, techniques of stator current
reconstruction from the dc link current have been suggested in literature.
