- Description
- This thesis proposes a technique to determine and improve the performance of a sensorless speed estimator for an induction motor based on Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA). The theoretical concepts underlying the parameter based observer are developed first and then the model of the observer is built using Simulink. The observer is developed based on Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS). The dynamic performance of the observer and its behavior due to variation of machine parameters is studied. The error in speed estimated using this observer is shown and the ability of MCSA to retune the rotor speed from the stator current spectrum. The spectrum estimation technique has been implemented using a software routine in Matlab. Both the observer and MCSA techniques were implemented practically on an induction motor. The performance of the combined sensorless speed estimation system was tested and verified.
