Idvc Based Hysteresis Controller For Three-Phase Induction Motor Drive

Abstract

Induction Motor is the most commonly used motor in industrial applications due to its characteristics like self-starting, reliable and easy speed control. The objective of the proposed system is to provide efficient speed control with lesser current harmonics. The Indirect Vector Control (IVDC) method is been presented for speed control of induction motor due to its high dynamic and low drift property. Though there were many classical methods for speed control like Ward-Leonard method etc.; in later years, power electronics circuits were preferred due to its high efficiency, reliability and accuracy. But the presence of static converter in drive circuits results in harmonics, giving in high feedback complexity. Therefore, the Hysteresis controller with conventional Proportional Integral and Differential (PID) control for speed and PI controller for flux is used to control the current harmonics at the point of common coupling. The simulation for speed control in squirrel-cage induction motor is carried out using the MATLAB/Simulink and the parameters like torque, speed, current and Total Harmonic Distortion are analyzed to show optimal response of drive system.
