Estimation of Stator Resistance and Temperature Measurement in Induction Motor Using Wavelet Network

Abstract

To complete induction motor thermal protection, a novel stator resistance estimation approach for stator winding temperature monitoring based on wavelet network and parameter identification is presented. By the use of wavelet network that accurately localizes the characteristics of a signal in the time frequency domains, the occurring instants of the signal change can be identified by the multi-scale representation analysis. The stator and rotor resistance are calculated using mathematical model and the motor speed is estimated by use of wavelet network, and then the temperature is obtained according to the principle that the metal resistance depends on its temperature. The improved least squares algorithm (LSA) transform is used to fulfill the network structure and parameter identification, and then the mapping relationship between the stator voltage, stator current, power factor angle and the rotor speed is determined using the wavelet network. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective for temperature monitoring of asynchronous motor.

Energy Efficiency Optimization of Three Phase Induction Motor Drives for Industrial Applications

“…Also, increase in temperature, (as low as 4°C rise) can result in great change in stator and rotor resistance. This will consequently lead to poor motor performance and its drive system [29,30,31]. When the motor is at high speed, the stator resistances drop.…”

Improving squirrel cage induction motor efficiency: Technical review

“…The heat may cause the temperature to reach to unsafe zone if special cooling means are not provided. Heat also will cause a stator and rotor resistances change their values at every 4°C increase in temperature, which result in poor performance of the drives (Zhi et al, 2005;Khluabwannarat et al, 2007;Weili et al, 2007). In SCIM, the stator flux can be estimated by taking the integral of the difference between the input voltage and the voltage drop across the stator resistance.…”

Prediction of internal temperature in stator winding of three-phase induction motors with ann

“…Nowadays, motor thermal protection relies on thermal devices (bimetallic strips, eutectic melting alloys), or on microprocessor embedded thermal models, which are based on the thermal heat transfer model of the induction machine. Thermal devices and models, which assume fixed thermal characteristics of the motor, are not capable of providing sufficient thermal protection since they have no means of giving a correct temperature estimate when the thermal characteristics change [2,3].…”
