MRAS Based Speed Identification for Sensorless Field Oriented Controlled Induction Motor with online Identification of Stator Resistance

This paper presents a new online method of estimating the stator resistance of an induction motor simultaneously with the motor rotor speed for effective implementation of rotor field oriented control technique. Knowledge of stator resistance is required for the correct operation of speed sensorless control of the induction motor in low speed region. Since stator resistance varies with drive operating conditions, stable operation in low speed requires an appropriate on-line estimator for the stator resistance. The paper proposes the stator resistance and rotor speed estimation algorithm based on rotor flux based MRAS in a systematic manner. It enables the correct speed estimation and stable drive operation at low speed. The proposed parallel speed with stator resistance estimator is verified by MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation. A simulation result shows the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method and good speed tracking capability and fast responses have been achieved
