Closed-loop speed control – an example


Design procedure in cascade control structure

• Inner loop (current or torque loop) the fastest –


largest bandwidth

• The outer most loop (position loop) the slowest –


smallest bandwidth

• Design starts from torque loop proceed towards


outer loops

Given a load T– characteristic, the steady-state speed can be


changed by altering the T– of the motor:

Variable voltage (amplitude), variable


Pole changing
Synchronous speed change with no. frequency (Constant V/Hz)
Using power electronics converter
of poles
Discrete step change in speed Operated at low slip frequency

Variable voltage (amplitude), frequency


fixed
E.g. using transformer or triac
Slip becomes high as voltage reduced –
low efficiency

Problems with open-loop constant V/f

At low speed, voltage drop across stator impedance is significant


compared to airgap voltage - poor torque capability at low speed

Solution:
1. Boost voltage at low speed
2. Maintain Im constant – constant ag
