Estimation of Physical Parameters of an Induction Motor Using an Indirect Method Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • In this paper a new method of estimation of the induction motor electric parameters is presented and discussed. The proposed method uses the indirect approach that consists in estimating the continuous-time parameters by first fitting a discrete-time model to the data and then converting this model to a continuous-time version. The main contribution is that by using a polynomial pre-filter it is possible to compute the induction motor equivalent circuit parameters via an inverse transformation between the discrete-time and the continuous-time models. The procedure is potentially useful for the design of self-commissioning drives and may provide initial estimates to extended Kalman filtering type of procedures. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulated tests and results of the method are discussed.
