SVPWM - MRAS SPEED OBSERVER FOR SENSORLESS


CONTROL OF INDUCTION MOTOR DRIVE

MD. HASEEB KHAN AND J. AMARNATH

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel Space Vector Pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for sensorless
control of induction motor using model reference adaptive system (MRAS). The steady state
ripples in the torque are present in the conventionally used MRAS sensorless control of induction
motor which utilizes normally used voltage source inverters. Also performance of the steady
state speed is not as perfect as required having disturbances in steady state region. Hence to
improve the performance of MRAS based speed observer a novel method of SVPWM based on
reference voltage vector that utilizes the control variables as stator flux components is proposed.
By using the proposed SVPWM control of induction motor the speed disturbances which are
obtained are minimized and the speed performance is improved. Also the ripples present in the
electromagnetic torque are reduced. This is proved by the simulation results for conventional
MRAS speed observer and proposed SVPWM based MRAS speed observer.
