Indirect Rotor-Field-Oriented Control for Single Phase Induction Motor drive based on dSPACE

Indirect Rotor-Field-Oriented Control (IRFOC) techniques brought on a renaissance in modern high-performance control of PWM inverter fed SPIM. In this paper, an IRFOC system is proposed for SPIMs including a relatively simple and effective decoupling scheme. This is achieved by introducing two new decoupling signals to the system. However, model asymmetry in SPIMs causes extra coupling between two stator windings. To use the field orientation control, the asymmetry must be eliminated by using an appropriate variable changing. A computer simulation of the IRFOC for Single-Phase Induction Motor drive is carried out to test the validity of the proposed method at nominal and zero speed. The design, analysis, and implementation for a 800W Single-Phase Induction Motor are completely carried out using a dSPACE DS1103 digital signal processor (DSP) based real-time data acquisition control (DAC) system, and MATLAB/Simulink environment. Digital simulation and experimental results are presented to show the improvement in performance of the proposed algorithm.
