Rotor Resistance Identification and Stability Control Method in Bearingless Induction Motor Drives

摘要

Generally, vector controllers in induction motors tend to suffer from the influence of rotor resistance variation caused by temperature and load torque conditions. Several rotor resistance identification methods have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, a novel rotor resistance identification technique is proposed based on variables in the magnetic suspension control loops. When static force, such as a shaft weight, is applied, force commands are automatically generated in the opposite direction to satisfy the force equilibrium. However, the amplitude and direction of the force command vary in accordance with the rotor resistance variation. Thus, the rotor resistance can be identified from the suspension force command. In addition, influence of temperature drift in gap sensors is investigated. The effectiveness is confirmed experimentally.
