Enhancement of Induction Motor Dynamics Using a Novel Sensorless Predictive Control Algorithm
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- -
- The study presents a new PVC scheme for a sensorless IM drive with the advantages of robustness, ripples reduction, simple construction, and faster dynamics.
- -
- The design of the PVC is accomplished in sequence steps clarifying the base principle upon which each stage depends on.
- -
- To enhance the system’s robustness and reliability, a Luenberger–sliding mode (L-SMO) estimator is designed to observe the speed, stator currents, stator resistance and rotor flux as well.
- -
- The IM performance is tested with the designed PVC and L-SMO under external load changes and parameters variation as well.
- -
- A detailed comparative study between the classic PTC and proposed PVC considering the sensorless operation is accomplished, which clarifies the superiority of PVC over the well-known PTC.
- -
- The designed PVC scheme can be utilized with different machine drives after considering the principle of operation and physical model of each type.

6. Conclusions
- The paper formulated a new PVC scheme to be used as an alternative to the classic PTC.
- The operation principle of the designed PVC is based on regulating the stator voltage components instead of regulating the torque and flux as in PTC.
- The back-stepping theory is utilized to generate the voltage commands needed by the designed cost function of the PVC.
- The designed PVC is used with a L-SMO observer to enhance the overall system robustness.
- The designed L-SMO is performed systematically, describing the gain selection mechanism and checking the stability of the observer.
- Extensive dynamic analysis is performed for the PTC and designed PVC to outline the superiority of the proposed controller.
- Ripple reduction, faster dynamic response, reduced number of commutations, and reduced THD are the remarkable improvements achieved by the PVC.
- For future study, the designed PVC scheme can be utilized with different machine drives after considering the principle of operation and physical model of each type.
