Speed Sensorless Control System Based on MRAS

Abstract

In this paper, a strategy for estimating the induction motor’s rotor speed is proposed. The proposed rotor speed estimation strategy is based on model reference adaptive identification theory. By applying the proposed strategy, the induction motor control system can estimate the induction motor's rotor speed precisely. To improve the rotor speed estimation performance of the system, two methods have been adopt. The speed sensorless control system based on proposed strategy was built with Simulink blocks in Matlab platform. The corresponding simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can operate stably in the whole range of speed with preferable estimation precision of stator resistance and rotor speed.
