Abstract
This paper presents a method for improving the control design for a high-power induction motor (IM) drive employing rotor-flux-based orientation. An offline genetic-algorithm routine is used to estimate the electrical and mechanical parameters of the machine using only speed transient measurements. This routine is applied to a range of operating conditions to obtain an accurate knowledge of the IM parameters as a function of the d-axis motor current id. The information acquired is then employed, together with an enhanced control design obtained by optimizing speed and current transient responses, to increase the performance of the vector control algorithm. The effectiveness of this design method is demonstrated through a wide range of simulations using Matlab-Simulink and experimental results at power levels up to 230 kW.
