Introduction
• The traditional way to control the speed of induction motors is the V/Hz-control
• Low dynamic performance• In applications like servo drives and rolling
mills quick torque response is required.• Desire to replace dc drives led to vector
control• Braunschweig, Leonhard, Blaschke, Hasse,
late 70-ies
What is vector control?
• Vector control implies that an ac motor is forced to behave dynamically as a dc motor by the use of feedback control.
• Always consider the stator frequency to be a variable quantity.
• Think in synchronous coordinates.

Rotor flux orientation
• Difficult to find the transformation angle since the direction of the flux must be known
• Flux measurement is required• Flux sensors (and fitting) are expensive and
unreliable• Rotor position measurement does not tell the
flux position• The solution is flux estimation
Rotor flux orientation using measured flux
Original method suggested by Blaschke•Requires flux sensors•Flux coordinates: aligned with the
rotor flux linkage

The flux coordinate system is ”synchronous” only at steady-state. During transients the speed of the rotor flux and the stator voltage may differ considerably.

Rotor flux orientation using estimated flux
• The rotor flux vector cannot be measured, only the airgap flux.
• Flux sensors reduce the reliability• Flux sensors increase the cost• Therefore, it is better to estimate the rotor
flux.

Remarks on indirect field orientation
• Does not directly involve flux estimation (superscript f dropped)
• Not ”flux coordinates” but ”synchronous coordinates”
• Since the slip relation is used instead of flux estimation, the method is called indirect field orientation

•Significantly reduced noise in the transformation angle•Fast current control is assumed (ref.value=measured value)•No state feedback => completely linear
The voltage model
•The current model needs accurate values of the rotor time constant and rotor speed•The trend is to remove sensors for cost and reliability reasons•Simulate the stator voltage equation instead of the rotor voltage equation

Review of methods for current control
• Hysteresis control• Stator frame PI control• Synchronous frame PI control
Hysteresis control(Tolerance band control)
• Measure each line current and subtract from the reference. The result is fed to a comparator with hysteresis.
• Pulse width modulation is achieved directly by the current control
• The switching frequency is chosen by means of the width of the tolerance band.
• No tuning is required.• Very quick response
Drawbacks of hysteresis control
• The switching frequency is not constant.• The actual tolerance band is twice the chosen
one.• Sometimes a series of fast switchings occur.• Suitable for analog implementation. Digital
implementation requires a very high sampling frequency.
Stator frame PI control
• Two controllers: one for the real axis and one for the imaginary axis
• Cannot achieve zero steady-state error• Tracking a sinusoid means that steady-state is
never reached in a true sense• Integral action is useless except at zero
frequency
Synchronous frame PI control
• In a synchronous reference frame the current is a dc quantity at steady-state.
• Zero steay state error is possible.• Coordinate transformations necessary• Easily implemented on a DSP• Usually the best choice!

Speed control
• Applications: pumps and fans in the process industry, paper and steel mills, robotics and packaging, electric vehicles
• Very different dynamic requirements• Most drives have low to medium high
requirements on dynamics. These drives are considered here.
• Cascade control is sufficient

The speed controller
• The task of the speed controller is to provide a reference value for the torque (or current) which makes the mechanical system respond to the speed reference with a specified rise time.

Realistic choice of bandwidth
• Care must be taken that the bandwidth of the speed controller is not unnecessarily high.
• In fact this should be decided during the first steps in the design process of a drive system
• The bandwidth is directly connected to the current rating of the inverter.
