Compensation of torque-producing stator current error for vector-controlled induction motor drives

This paper presents a detailed analysis of dynamic properties and accuracy issues of the torque-producing stator current control loop for vector-controlled induction motor drives. In this paper, a necessary mathematical description of vector control of an induction motor is shown with respect to the x-axis and y-axis current control in the rotating reference frame. A derivation of a steady-state error for the torque-producing stator current control scheme with and without a decoupling algorithm is described. The presented derivation and dynamic behavior of both these schemes were extensively tested in the MATLAB-SIMULINK software, considering different values for the moment of inertia. This solution was implemented in a DSC-based induction motor drive using a voltage source inverter to obtain experimental results. Moreover, the advantages of using the presented decoupling block for compensation of the problem are discussed at the end of the paper.Web of Science153art. no. 81
