A nonlinear observer for rotor flux estimation considering magnetic saturation effects in induction motor drives
2015
This paper proposes a non-linear observer for In- duction Machine (IM) drives which takes into consideration the saturation effects. The non-linear observer is based on an original formulation of the dynamic model of the IM taking into consideration the magnetic saturation of the iron core. A Lyapunov based convergence analysis is proposed in order to suitably compute the observer gain guaranteeing the stability of the observer. The proposed non-linear observer has been tested in numerical simulation and experimentally on a suitably developed test set-up. Its behaviour has been compared to that obtained with a classic Full-Order Luenberger Observer (FOLO) in variable flux working conditions…
Self-Heating Induced Instability of a Non-Linear Inductor in a SMPS: a Case Study
2023
This paper proposes a case study to show that the non-linear operation of a power inductor in a SMPS can induce instability of the control system leading to overheating of the inductor beyond its allowable temperature and to an excessive peak of the maximum current. The case study is performed by a commercial ferrite inductor employed in a synchronous boost converter encompassing a control system to adjust the duty cycle, assuring a constant output voltage. The thermal transient is described by the time domain waveforms and thermal images.
A Nonlinear Control of Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRM) Based on Feedback Linearization Considering the Self and Cross-Saturation Effects
2019
This paper proposes a nonlinear controller based on feedback linearization for Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRM) drives that takes into consideration the self and cross-saturation effects. Such control technique permits the dynamics of both the speed and flux loops to be maintained constant independently from the load and the saturation of the iron core. The proposed technique has been tested experimentally on a suitably developed test set-up.
Feedback Linearizing Control of Induction Motor Considering Magnetic Saturation Effects
2015
This paper presents an input-output feedback linearization (FL) control technique for rotating induction motors, which takes into consideration the magnetic saturation of the iron core. Starting from a new formulation of the dynamic model taking into consideration the magnetic saturation expressed in a space-state form in the rotor-flux-oriented reference frame, the corresponding FL technique has been developed. To this aim, a particular care has been given to the choice of nonlinear functions interpolating the magnetic parameters versus the rotor magnetizing current and the corresponding magnetic characteristic. The proposed FL technique has been tested experimentally on a suitably develop…
