Influence of parameter uncertainties on the performance of some induction actuator indirect field oriented control schemes

The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of two indirect field oriented control schemes. In the first one, the Park components of the stator currents are controlled by two PI regulators, and in the second one, these currents are not directly controlled and there is no current measurement. It is shown that the sensitivity of the flux control to parameter uncertainties is generally smaller in the control scheme without current controllers than in the control scheme with current PI controllers, in spite of the fact the latter offers a more precise current control. It is also shown that the control scheme without current measurement allows to develop a fully digital implementation on low cost microprocessors. Experiments on a laboratory prototype confirm the good performance of this simplified control scheme.<
