Abstract

State of the art in indirect slip frequency controlled induction motor drive systems is the quick response high performance voltage decoupling control which has several advantages. However decoupling control needs to operate at constant rotor flux which makes the energy conversion inefficient. A variable flux decoupling model of a voltage fed induction motor which provides optimal efficiency and quick response is proposed in this paper. An optimization scheme determines the flux level for maximum efficiency at any operating conditon and a co-ordination controller assures quick torque response without torque pulsations. Application to a 100 h.p and a 7.5 h.p motor show that a substantial percent savings in controllable losses during low load operation is possible while maintaining high performance.
