Abstract

This study introduces a novel bi input-extended Kalman filter (BI-EKF)-based speed-sensorless direct vector control (DVC) of an induction motor (IM). The proposed BI-EKF-based estimator includes online estimations of the stator stationary axis components of the stator currents, i sα and isβ; stator stationary axis components of the rotor flux, φrα and φrβ; rotor angular velocity, ωm; stator resistance, Rs; rotor resistance, Rr; and load torque tL, as well as the magnetizing inductance, L m, by only supposing that the stator phase currents and voltages are measured. Thus, the speed-sensorless DVC of the IM with the inclusion of the proposed estimator is able to be perfectly operated at a wide speed range, varying from zero speed to beyond the rated/based speed under the extreme variations in Rs, Rr, tL, and Lm. The simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed BI-EKF-based estimator and, consequently, the speed-sensorless DVC of the IM. © TUBITAK.
