This paper presents an indirect rotor-field oriented control (IRFOC) algorithm for symmetrical six-phase double-winding induction machines with four three-phase sub-winding sets. The presented algorithm introduces the ability to control the power flow between different sub-winding sets. Multiple three-phase induction machines are utilised for critical applications such as more-electric aircrafts,...
Indirect rotor field oriented control (IRFOC) plays an important role in the high performance induction machine drives. In the indirect rotor field oriented control — based induction machine adjustable speed control system, the rotor field angle is usually obtained by the rotor angular velocity and the slip angular velocity. The rotor angular velocity can be sensed by an encoder with sufficient accuracy...
Due to the current constraint of linear induction machine (LIM) and voltage constraint of inverter, the output thrust of LIM is limited. So, in order to make LIM output thrust as large as possible within current and voltage limit, firstly, the maximum thrust per ampere (MTPA) is used to achieve maximum thrust with limited current in low speed. Secondly, with the speed of LIM increasing, the voltage...
This paper presents comprehensive validation tests of a recent qd0-frame core-loss model of three-phase induction machines at different load conditions. The machine is run at different frequencies/speeds and flux levels. These tests reinforce the model at different operating conditions before further model-based analysis and control design. Moreover, to properly use the model, a series of model parameter...
Classical induction machine design generally focuses on achieving high steady state efficiency. In contrast, automotive applications consist of almost continuous transients, where the flux linkage is varied along the driving cycle to save energy. With conventional induction machines designed for high steady state efficiency, higher peak current and excessive machine losses can occur during the transient...
This paper proposes an enhanced approach to estimate the stator winding temperature based on active DC flux injection for induction machines with two representative direct torque control (DTC) schemes, the conventional hysteresis-based DTC and the deadbeat DTC. In this method, the stator resistance is regarded as the indicator of its temperature, and is estimated by applying offsets to the flux controllers...
In this paper, two approaches to speed estimation, presented in the literature, for a sensorless control of double star induction machine. We will discuss briefly the advantages, disadvantages, and limits of use of these techniques. We will then apply these two sensorless control techniques to the double star induction machine. The simulation results obtained showed that the speed sensorless vector...

High performance drives with induction machines require use of vector control. The direct torque control and field oriented control are nowadays two most applied vector control methods. The main advantage of the method for direct torque control of induction machines is its simplicity and therefore its robustness. Namely, control variables (the electromagnetic torque and stator flux vector) are estimated...
In this paper we analize the behaviour of model predictive control (MPC) on induction machine as an application for electric traction. We did a simulation on MATLAB/SIMULINK of a squirrel cage induction machine fed by a two level voltage inverter controlled by the MPC scheme with an electric vehicle as a load. We present the equations from the induction machine required by the control scheme, the...
This paper presents a set of system equations of a dual stator induction machine (DSIM) and a new approach for online parameter identification including its verification through simulation and measurements. An uneven current share between the two three-phase systems of a DSIM is used to determine machine parameters online.
The paper describes the voltage control technique of squire-cage induction machines supplied by a current source inverter. The control system is based on new transformation of the electric drive system (machine and inverter) state variables to the multi-scalar variables form. The backstepping approach is used to obtain the feedback control law. The control system contains the structure of the observer...
This paper analyzes the dynamic performance of FOC induction machines operating under current and voltage constraints. FOC rely on the proper performance of the inner current control loops. The capability of the machine to increase its torque can be seriously compromised due to the inverter voltage and current limits, which affect to the current regulator transient response. This can be especially...
In this paper, a novel dynamic model of a self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is presented. In the proposed model, the fundamental stray load and iron losses are accounted for in a way that preserves the order of the conventional induction machine (IM) model. The corresponding equivalent resistances are determined from the standard tests. The SEIG has been considered as part of a wind conversion...
The effect of number of rotor slots on the stator and rotor current waveforms, slot and tooth flux densities and performance characteristics, such as torque, torque ripple, losses, electromagnetic force, power factor, and efficiency are numerically studied in case of a 3-phase, 8-pole squirrel-cage induction machine (IM). The IMs have been designed by using the same winding layout, stator outer diameter,...
This paper investigates an induction machine using a novel concept of a converter-fed rotor. The stator is directly connected to the grid while the rotor is fed by a converter with a floating capacitor over the dc-link. In earlier work this topology has shown to be capable of improving the power factor and efficiency of a 4-pole induction machine. This paper explores the possibility to improve the...
Conventional Maximum Torque-Per-Ampere (MTPA) control was derived from the three-phase induction machine model ignoring iron loss. A new MTPA control is proposed in this digest, whose accuracy is improved by considering machine iron loss using a newly published induction machine iron-loss model. The detailed derivation of the proposed MTPA control and possible enhancement of torque-per-ampere capability...

A slight change in time phase shift between currents in adjacent rotor end ring segments directly affects the characteristics of the airgap torque in a squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM). On the other hand the rotor slot geometrical permeance has a strong impact on the rotor bar leakage inductance. This paper deals with effect of different rotor bar types (geometrical shapes) when a SCIM operates...
In this paper, an observer-based speed sensorless field oriented control (FOC) algorithm is presented for induction machines. The state observer is based on a new, detailed observer model which describes the machine with seven state variables, i.e. with seven equations. Since these equations are strongly non-linear, the applied observer algorithm is the unscented Kalman filter (UKF). Using the advantages...
