Pure-Integration-Based Flux Acquisition With Drift and Residual Error Compensation at a Low Stator Frequency

Abstract

We have developed a pure-integration-based flux acquisition method for ac adjustable-speed drives. Based on the current-measurement-error analysis, a simple resonant-type observer is utilized to eliminate the drift or dc offset that originated in the current acquisition process. All the processes in correcting the problem do not rely on motor parameters and do not interfere with other higher frequency contents such as inverter nonlinearity and motor cogging effects. The proposed technique further contains a residual error compensator to completely correct the initial value error and to eliminate miscellaneous dc offset errors of the integrator. The acquisition accuracy of the flux is significantly improved through pure integration by restraining the error of the flux magnitude and phase angle at a low stator frequency. Since the proposed scheme is based on a two-phase current measurement system, it is suitable for retrofitting ac drives, where two current sensors are commonly used.
