2 Parametric Variations Sensitivity Analysis on IM Discrete Speed Estimation Introduction Mohamed BEN MESSAOUD and Abdennaceur KACHOURI A high degree of sophistication of new control methods as vector control, adaptive or variable structure control, is reached with the help of special measurement systems (state observers, reconstruction of mechanical or electromagnetic variables). During the last decay the speed control of induction machine (IM) requires the nowledge of rotor speeds values, therefore in order to replace the mechanical sensors, significant research effort has been devoted to the field of shaft-sensorless control of induction motors. This research is interest on software based methods of estimating rotor speed of induction motors using electric measurement of the stator current and voltage. Direct and indirect methods are developed to avoid magnetic or mechanical sensors mounted in the motor [1,, 3]. It was observed that a speed estimation error can appears when one uses a flux or state observers and then calculate the rotor speed [4,5]. Less error and less sensitivity on parameter variation are noted if one uses the Model Reference Adaptive Systems (MRAS) [6] or sliding mode techniques [7, 8, 9]. Recently, neural identification method is applied to estimate motor speed; it seems to be an interesting solution but it presents some problems in the case of reversal operation of the motor [10]. A novel parallel adaptive observer has been designed, starting from the seriesparallel Kreis-selmeier observer [11]. This paper deals with a new class for speed estimation of induction motor. The used structure constitutes the feedbac linear time varying structure in its discrete form. The hyperstability of the loop are demonstrated and the stability is guaranteed. The adaptation algorithm based on current quantities is deduced. The highperformances of such estimator are shown in low speeds and when parameter changes, where the most methods fail. In the objective of applicability of the algorithm in high speeds, adaptation low is slowly modified by replacing the current by current error. In simulation, the robustness of the proposed algorithm is checed for variations of the stator and rotor parameters (resistances and inductances). 0

Electrical Equations Equations for induction motor can be expressed in the stationary d-q frame [6] as: dis σ LS = RSiS + (vs es) (1) dt di dt m where = 1 Tr i m 0 J = 1 ω Ji r 1 0 m + 1 Tr i so dim em = L (3) dt () The signification of parameters and variables appear in appendix I. Discretization A discretized version suitable for digital implementation is developed, preserving the characteristics of the original continuous-time procedure. The discrete form of equations (1- and 3) is given by: 1 is( + 1) = ζ.i S() + (1 ζ) [ vs() em() ] (4) R S e () = L ω 1 Tr ωr i 1 Tr () m m + r L Tr i S () L L or e m() =.I ω rj i m() + i () Tr s Tr (5) 1

The proposed structure is described by equations (4), (5) and (6). These equations constitute a feedbac time varying parameters system represented by the bloc diagram of the proposed speed estimator of the figure. The input is the vector v so = [v sod, v soq ] T and the output is the estimated speed of induction machine. In counter part of conventional nonlinear structure, the present strategy presents a dynamic which depends only on the values of a transition state matrix of the feedbac system. Figures 1 and illustrate the difference between conventional adaptive structure and the proposed structure. Figure 1. Diagram of conventional Adaptive speed estimator

Diagram of proposed speed estimator Hyper-stability of feedbac structure In this section, we briefly review the use of hyperstability concept [1] to the synthesis of adaptation low. The hyperstability analysis of nonlinear systems requires a linear time invariant discrete transfer function H(z) in the feedforward path, and a nonlinear bloc in the feedbac one (figure 3). Figure 3. Configuration of feedbac system 1 R (1 ζ) S H (z) =.

In the non-linear feedbac part, the following inequality of Popov (7) holds; i.e. 1 = = 0 T em ().I () γ S o (7) Synthesis of adaptation low By substituting equations (4), (5) in inequality (7), one can write: = 1 sd = o [ + i ] [ i i + i i ] + T ω ( i i i i ) i γ (8) sq sd md sq mq r r md sq mq sd Under steady state and the following approximation: [ i i ] [ i i + i i ] = [ i (i i ) + i (i i )] 0 sd + (9) sq sd md sq mq Equation (7) becomes: = = o 1 ω r ( i i i ) sd sd md sq sq i γ (10) md sq mq sd Let s tae the Integral adaptation law as: r + 1) = ωr () + ψ() = ωr (0) + ψ(i) i= 0 o ω ( (11) Without loss of generality, letting ω r (0)=0 and replacing (11) in (10), yields: = 1 ( isq imqisd ) md ψ(i) = 0 i= 0 i γ (1) Using the relation (13), o mq o x xi + c = x c + x + 0 = = 0 i= 0 = c c (13) One obtains the particular solution for ψ as follows ( i ()i () i ()i ()) ψ ( ) = κ md sq md sd (14) 4

Finally, the Integral adaptation law is deduced: ω r ( + 1) = ωr () + Θ(imdisq imqisd ) (15) where Θ is any positive real. Taing into account the adaptation mechanism (15), Popov inequality (7) is hold and the hyperstability is guaranteed for the nominal parameters and in the unloaded motor case. Performance analysis The speed estimation algorithm described in Equation (15) is tested in the wide range of speed and torque variations and the machine parameter variation is also considered to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. Simulation conditions To achieve the following simulation results, Matlab- Simulin software is used to simulate the hardware and the software parts. The simulation bloc diagram is represented in figure 4 where the ideal voltage inverter is used and the Open loop speed control is applied. The voltage and current measurement quantities constitute the inputs of the algorithm to estimate the motor speed. Figure 4. Simulation scheme 5

Table shows that the estimated speed is not affected by the parameter variations, than it is obvious that the proposed algorithm gives satisfactory results. Table.

We note that the relative error increases until 10% in the nominal speed as shown in figure 8. Discussion The analysis of the tables and 3 shows that the parameter variations practically do not affects the estimated speed. However, the machine load is the preponderant factor which affects the estimated speed. It is to be noted that the motor load is not considered in the algorithm. Therefore, the influence of the load appears clearly in high speed. Modified algorithm To overcome the error introduced by the load, we introduce a correction signal depending on the load in the adaptation low. The current components i s are replaced by the current error ε s in the high speed and the adaptation mechanism is described by (18): ω r ( + 1) = ωr () + Θ(imdisq imqisd ) Π(imdisod imqisod ) where: Π is any positive integer parameter which increases with the speed; i so, i s are measured and calculated currents.

Parameter Sensitivity and Simulation Results To study the influence of parameter deviation on the performance of the modified estimation speed algorithm, we will tae a variation of ± 50% of each machine parameter. Unloaded motor T L =0 Table 4 represents the performance indexes evaluated earlier for different values of the desired speed and for different variations on motor parameters. Table 4.

The estimation error does not access 0.3% in most cases. Overloaded motor: 00 % of rated load The behavior of the modified speed estimator of the induction motor is checed with a mechanical load equal to 00% of its nominal value. Figures 10 and 11 illustrate the measured and the estimated speeds when the stator resistance varies in the range of -50% to +50% of Rs of nominal value. The simulation result shows that it is not possible clearly to distinguish between measured and estimated speed. Thus, the estimation steady state error is less than 0.3 rad/s for rated speed. 31

Thus, the robustness of the proposed algorithm for all range of speeds is guaranteed. On the other hand, its sensitivity to the variation of Rr is acceptable for the high speeds; it is in the order of 4%. The only case where a relatively error appeared is the case of the reduction of 50% of M for the middle speeds (these error remains limited). Consequently, the robustness of the modified algorithm to parametric variation is shown for all the range of speeds. Conclusions The feedbac structure of estimation speed algorithm is presented. It is fairly general and would seem to be the natural extensions to nonlinear adaptive structure case of estimation speed of induction machines. It is to be noted that the advantages of the previous structures are believed maintained. In this paper, the discrete form adapted to the implementation purpose is developed and the stability analysis is performed using the hyper stability theory. In the case of unloaded motor, simulation results show the robustness of the algorithm to the motor parameter variations (Rs, Ls, Rr, Lr and M). 33

16 Parametric Variations Sensitivity Analysis on IM Discrete Speed Estimation Mohamed BEN MESSAOUD and Abdennaceur KACHOURI For torque load, it is shown that estimation errors that are not present in the previous case occur for high speeds. The presence of load disturbs the estimated speed. The high-speed problems are remedied by a careful choice of standard relation. This is done by adding the term 'stator current components', which depending on the torque. Finally, simulation examples are considered to illustrate the advantages that can be gained by using the modified algorithm. There was proved that the proposed adjustable low is able to estimate the proper values of the rotor speed even in the case of parameter and speed errors. The estimation speed algorithms have proven to be a powerful tool in order to give the real induction motor speeds. Special attention must be designed when the mutual inductance decreases.
