Abstract
This paper compares the experimental performance of three flux and speed observers for speed-sensorless induction motor drives and discusses the cause of their differences. The small signal analysis using the linearized model is carried out to analyze stability. Three methods are generally accepted to be representative candidates for high sensorless performance, namely: 1) rotor-flux model reference adaptive system (MRAS); 2) torque-current MRAS; and 3) adaptive nonlinear flux observer. Many other sensorless methods improved these methods. The paper discusses baseline conditions for the experiments and the stability analysis, which include matched load inertia, specified speed estimator dynamics, and sensorless operation within a speed control loop. For the comparison tests in the paper, the speed estimation dynamics of the methods are the same; this is important for parameter sensitivity. The paper concentrates on the low-speed performance, and all results shown are under sensorless speed control.
