Abstract
Electric drive control is an important area of research due to its ubiquity. In particular, multi-phase induction machines are an important field due to their inherent robustness. Tuning of the inner loop (speed) and outer loop (current) is typically tackled separately. The problem of trade-off analysis for the tuning of both loops has never been tackled before, which motivates the present study. This paper examines the complex and non-linear relationships between commonly used performance indicators in variable speed applications. The paper shows that there are links between performance indicators for both loops. This prompts a more detailed study of concurrent tuning. Also, it is shown that said links are, in a variable speed drive, dependent on the operating point. This requires studying more than just one operating point. Experimental results for a five-phase induction motor are used to validate the analysis.
