High performance sensorless speed vector control of SPIM Drives with on-line stator resistance estimation

The aim of this paper is to implement a sensorless Indirect Stator Field Oriented Control (ISFOC) of Single-Phase Induction Motor Drive (SPIMD) with stator resistance tuning. The proposed method for the estimation of speed is based only on measurement of stator currents. A very simple identification algorithm using d-axis stator current error for identifying the stator resistance is proposed. Experimental results for SPIMD are presented and analyzed by using a dSpace system with DS1104 control board based on the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) TMS320F240. Simulated results are compared with experimental results on a test 1.1 kW SPIM setup. The agreement between simulated and experimental results proves the validity of the proposed method.
