Wpływ uszkodzenia wirnika na pracę bezczujnikowego napędu indukcyjnego z estymatorem MRAS CC

In the paper analysis of the sensorless induction motor drive with rotor faults is presented. The rotor flux and speed is reconstructed using the MRAS CC estimator, where the induction motor is used as a reference model. The stator current estimator and current model of the rotor flux are used as adapted models. Most of the speed estimators used in sensorless drives are sensitive to motor parameters changes, especially to the rotor resistance changes. The proposed MRAS CC estimator is very robust to all motor parameter changes, thus it should work properly in the case of faulted rotor. In the paper simulation and experimental results of the sensorless IM drive with broken rotor bars are presented. Range of the stable work of the control system is shown. Characteristic frequency harmonics of the IM state variables connected with broken bars are introduced. The low speed region and the dynamical properties of the sensorless drive with rotor faults are tested.
