Taxonomic research survey on vector controlled induction motor drives

Abstract

The increased demand of induction machines in industries motivated the researchers to carry out their research on induction motor (IM) drives with a clear focus to achieve the wide range consistent control of speed and torque, as well as the stable operation of the IM drives. Vector control has become the industrial standard for the IM drive since scalar control being inadequate to provide precise and wide range speed control. Also, the steady-state and dynamic performances of the IM drive employing vector control have been observed better. In this study, intense analysis has been done on the methods available to implement vector control with their features, merits and demerits. Besides, the research trends and current status of researches have also been explored via the taxonomical listing of relevant research literature which, in the author's belief, would guide the researchers working in this area in finding out relevant references for their works.

First-Order-Delay-Controlled Slip-Angular Frequency for the Dynamic Performance of an Indirect-Field-Orientation-Controlled Induction Motor-Driving Inertial Load

“…ω * s Slip-angular-frequency command. ω 1 Primary angular frequency command. ω r Secondary angular frequency command.…”

“…Field-orientation control (FOC) for an induction motor (IM) is a technology that realizes independent control of excitation and torque currents and a high torque performance by controlling the phase angle of the secondary flux [1], [2], [3]. Speed control is not employed, but torque (torque-current) control is employed for inertial load-drive applications, such as electric vehicles and electric railway vehicles.…”

Comparative analysis of different FOPI approximations and number of terms used on simulations of a battery-powered, field-oriented induction motor based electric vehicle traction system

“…This method might require the usage of physical sensors in the machine which makes it more difficult to implement both hardware and software wise, because the data gathered by the sensors needs to be processed and integrated in the control loop. One of the advantages of DFOC is that it is less affected by motor parameters variation and requires less knowledge about the parameters in general (Tripathi and Vaish, 2019). IFOC works without the need for sensing the actual flux, for it can be derived from the values of stator current, voltage and motor shaft speed (Tripathi and Vaish, 2019).…”

In order to get accurate results for flux calculation, the controlled motor parameters must be fed to the control system.…”
