Abstract
The brushless doubly-fed induction machine (BDFIM) is suitable for applications that need adjustable speed within limited ranges. It is a promising machine if its control strategies, such as the maximum torque per total copper losses (MTPCL) control, are well designed. A BDFIM has two stator windings, a power winding (not controllable) and a control winding (CW) (controllable through a partially rated back-to-back converter). Unlike singly-fed electrical machines, which are fully controllable and the MTPCL can be easily implemented to them, implementing the MTPCL control in a BDFIM is challenging. In this paper, the model-based MTPCL control strategy in the presence of a nonlinear controller in the BDFIM drive is developed. To realize this strategy, we first determine an expression in terms of the angle of the CW's current as a controllable variable. The optimal angle of the CW's current, which guarantees the realization of the MTPCL strategy, is then mathematically obtained using the numerical minimization approach. Next, the proposed passivity-based nonlinear controller regulates both the MTPCL criterion and the electromagnetic torque directly as the output variables. The proposed strategy is validated by a TMS320F2833 microcontroller synchronized with a personal computer for a 3 kW prototype D132s-BDFIM.
