Abstract

A method for the stabilization of full-order flux observers for speed-sensorless induction motors in the regenerative mode. The method comprises determining the current vector of the induction motor, determining the stator voltage vector of the induction motor, forming a full-order flux observer having a system matrix (A) and a gain matrix (L), the state-variable observer being augmented with a speed adaptation loop, and producing an estimated rotor flux linkage vector and an estimated stator current vector, determining an estimation error of the stator current vector, defining a correction angle, and forming a speed adapt-tion law based on the cross product of the estimation error of the stator current vector and the estimated rotor flux linkage vector, where the correction angle is used to turn the rotor flux linkage vector or the estimation error of the stator current vector in order to keep the observer stable.

Claims (9)

1. A method for the stabilization of full-order flux observers for speed-sensorless induction motors in the regenerative mode, characterized by

determining a current vector of the induction motor,

determining a stator voltage vector of the induction motor,

forming a full-order flux observer having a system matrix (A) and gain matrix (L), the state-variable observer being augmented with a speed adaptation loop, and producing an estimated rotor flux linkage vector and an estimated stator current vector,

determining an estimation error of the stator current vector,

defining a correction angle, and

forming a speed adaptation law based on the cross product of the estimation error of the stator current vector and the estimated rotor flux linkage vector, where the correction angle is used to turn the rotor flux linkage vector or the estimation error of the stator current vector in order to keep the observer stable.

2. A method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the method further comprises

controlling the speed-sensorless induction motor with the information received from the full-order flux observer, the information comprising the stator or rotor flux linkage vector and the angular speed of the motor.
