Abstract

Direct torque control (DTC) of induction machines uses the stator resistance of the machine for estimation of the stator flux. Variations of stator resistance due to changes in temperature or frequency make the operation of DTC difficult at low speeds. A method for the estimation of changes in stator resistance during the operation of the machine is presented. The estimation method is implemented using proportional-integral (PI) control and fuzzy logic control schemes. The estimators observe the machine stator current vector to detect the changes in stator resistance. The performance of the two methods are compared using simulation and experimental results. Results obtained have shown improvement in DTC at low speeds.
