State Space-Vector Model of Linear Induction Motors Including Iron Losses: Part II: Model Identification and Results

This is the second part of a paper, divided into two parts, dealing with the definition of a space-vector dynamic model of the linear Induction motor (LIM) taking into consideration both the dynamic end-effects and the iron losses as well as the off-line identification of its parameters. The first part has treated the theoretical framework of the model. This second part is devoted to the description of an identification technique which has been suitably developed for the estimation of the parameters of the LIM dynamic model accounting for both the dynamic end-effects and iron losses, described in the first part of the paper. Such an identification technique is strictly related to the state …

This is the second part of an article, divided into two parts, dealing with the definition of a space-vector dynamic model of the linear induction motor (LIM) taking into consideration both the dynamic end-effects and the iron losses as well as the offline identification of its parameters. This second part is devoted to the description of an identification technique that has been suitably developed for the estimation of the electrical parameters of the LIM dynamic model accounting for both the dynamic end-effects and iron losses. Such an identification technique is strictly related to the state formulation of the proposed model and exploits genetic algorithms for minimizing a suitable cost …

State Space-Vector Model of Linear Induction Motors including End-Effects and Iron Losses Part I: Theoretical Analysis

This is the first part of the article, divided into two parts, dealing with the definition of a space-vector dynamic model of the linear induction motor (LIM) taking into consideration both the dynamic end-effects and the iron losses and its offline identification. This first part specifically treats the theoretical formulation of this model, which has been expressed in a state form, so to be, in perspective, suitably adopted for developing novel nonlinear control techniques, nonlinear observers as well as electrical losses minimization techniques. Besides the formulation of the dynamic model in space-vector state form, a steady-state analysis is proposed, highlighting the combined effects …

Active disturbance rejection control of linear induction motor

This paper proposes the theoretical framework and the experimental application of the active disturbance rejection control to linear induction motors. Such a nonlinear control (ADRC) technique can be viewed as a particular kind of input-output linearization control, where the nonlinear transformation of the state is not computed by means of the model, but it is estimated online. Such an approach permits to cope with unmodelling dynamics, as well as uncertainty in the knowledge of the model parameters and exogenous disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed ADRC control law has been verified both by numerical simulations and experimentally on a suitably developed test setup. Moreover, t…

A Nonlinear Observer for Rotor Flux Estimation of Induction Motor Considering the Estimated Magnetization Characteristic

This paper proposes a nonlinear observer for induction machine drives based on space-vector dynamic model of induction machine, expressed in state form, which presents the peculiarity of taking into consideration the magnetic saturation of the iron core. This observer is particularly suitable in order to obtain high accuracy in rotor flux estimation, in both amplitude and phase position, during working conditions characterized by varying flux, among which the most important are those during electrical losses minimization. A Lyapunov-based convergence analysis is proposed in order to suitably compute the numerical observer gain guaranteeing the convergence of the estimation error. The propos…
