Variable speed drives allow for more precise speed control of induction motors, are of high power factor, and offer fast response characteristics, compared to older technologies, such as motor-generator sets and eddy current clutches. However, due to the high switching frequencies as well as the high dV/dt in the output increased dielectric stresses are produced in the insulation system of the motor they supply. Due to the use of these solid state drives there have been concerns of premature failure in large, medium and high voltage, motors. To fully understand and deal with these concerns requires studying the degradation mechanisms, in the insulation system, caused by these drives; which, on an actual motor is both extremely costly as well as impractical. Therefore, coil samples which accurately represent the construction of the actual insulation system, must be aged and studied instead. In addition, to ideally replicate the aging process, the same waveform that the motor is subjected to must be applied to these samples. As a result of this requirement, a low power, two-level, high voltage PWM inverter has been built to replicate the most important characteristics of the output waveform of a variable speed drive. This power modulator allows for testing the insulation systems considering a real PWM waveform in which both the fast pulses and the fundamental low frequency are included. The results of these tests show that the effects of PWM waveforms cannot be entirely replicated by a unipolar pulse generator.

The trend toward ever-expanding variable speed induction motor applications results in the need for reliable condition monitoring and detection schemes for closed-loop motor-drive systems. This research focuses on the detection of air gap eccentricity in induction motors supplied by a vector-controlled drive. The majority of existing eccentricity detection techniques is based on monitoring fault harmonics in the stator current. This research analyzes the distribution of the eccentricity-related fault harmonics between the stator voltage and current, and points out that monitoring only the stator current is insufficient. When the motor is supplied by a vector-controlled drive, both voltage and current become modulated signals and contain fault harmonics. Either stator voltage or current can contain larger fault harmonics due to the influence of the drive controllers and the mechanical load. Therefore, a combination of monitoring both variables is necessary to ensure good detection reliability. Furthermore, with an AC drive, the motor speed and load will change widely, which changes fault harmonics too. A new detection scheme using an artificial neural network is proposed to incorporate the influence of changing operating conditions into the fault detection. This detection scheme is more reliable and cost efficient. In addition, a new off-line non-invasive eccentricity detection method is proposed by using the surge test. Simulation and experiments are conducted to validate the feasibilities of the proposed detection schemes.

Multi-level inverters play a significant role in high power drive systems for induction motors. Interest in multi-level inverters started with the three-level, neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter. Now there are many topologies for higher number of levels such as the, flying capacitor and cascaded H-bridge etc. The advantage of multi-level inverters is the reduced voltage stress on the switching devices, lower dv/dt and lower harmonic content. The voltage space vector structure in a multi-level inverter has a hexagonal periphery similar to that in a two-level inverter. In the over-modulation region in multi-level inverters, there is the presence of lower order harmonics such as 5th and 7th in the output voltage, and this can be avoided by using a voltage space vector scheme with more than six polygonal voltage space vectors such as 12, 18, 24 etc. These polygonal voltage space vectors can be generated by using multi-level inverter topologies, by cascading two-level inverter structures with asymmetric DC-links. This thesis deals with the development of 12-sided and 18-sided polygonal voltage space vector schemes for induction motor drives. With the 12-sided polygonal structure, all the 5th and 7th harmonic orders and 6n±1, n=1, 3, 5.. are absent throughout the modulation range, and in the 18-sided voltage space vector scheme, 5th, 7th, 11th and 13th harmonics are absent throughout the modulation range. With the absence of the low order frequencies in the proposed polygonal space vector structures, high frequency PWM schemes are not needed for voltage control. This is an advantage over conventional schemes. Also, due to the absence of lower order harmonics throughout the modulation range, special compensated synchronous reference frame PI controllers are not needed in current controlled vector control schemes in over-modulation. In this thesis a method is proposed for generating 12-sided polygonal voltage space vectors for an induction motor fed from one side. A cascaded combination of three two-level inverters is used with asymmetrical DC-links. A simple space vector PWM scheme based only on the sampled reference phase amplitudes are used for the inverter output voltage control. The reference space vector is sampled at different sampling rates depending on the frequency of operation. The number of samples in a sector is chosen to keep the overall switching frequency around 1kHz, in order to minimize switching losses. The voltage space vectors that make up the two sides of the sector in which the reference vector lies, are time averaged using volt-sec balance, to result in the reference vector. In the proposed 12-sided PWM scheme all the harmonics of the order 6n±1, n=1, 3, 5... are eliminated from the phase voltage, throughout the modulation range. In multi-level inverters steps are taken to eliminate common-mode voltage. Common-mode voltage is defined as one third of the sum of the three pole voltages of the inverter for a three phase system. Bearings are found to fail prematurely in drives with fast rising voltage pulses and high frequency switching. The alternating common-mode voltage generated by the PWM inverter contributes to capacitive couplings from stator body to rotor body. This generates motor shaft voltages causing bearing currents to flow from rotor to stator body and then to the ground. There can be a flashover between the bearing races. Also a phenomenon termed EDM (Electro-discharge machining) effect occurs and may damage the bearings. Common-mode voltage has to be eliminated in order to overcome these effects. In multi-level inverters redundancy of space vector locations is used to eliminate common-mode voltages. In the present thesis a 12-sided polygonal voltage space vector based inverter with an open-end winding induction motor is proposed, in which the common-mode voltage variation at the poles of the inverter is eliminated. In this scheme, there is a three-level inverter on each side of the open-end winding of the induction motor. The three-level inverter is made by cascading two, two-level inverters with unequal DC-link voltages. Appropriate space vectors are selected from opposite sides such that the sum of the pole voltages on each side is a constant. Also during the PWM operation when the zero vector is applied, identical voltage levels are used on both sides of the open-end windings, in order to make the phase voltages zero, while the common-mode voltage is kept constant. This way, common-mode voltage variations are eliminated throughout the modulation range by appropriately selecting the voltage vectors from opposite ends. In this method all the harmonics of 6n±1, n=1, 3, 5.. and triplen orders are eliminated. In the 12-sided polygonal voltage space vector methods, the 11th and 13th harmonics though attenuated are not eliminated. In the 18-sided polygonal voltage space vector method the 11th and 13th harmonics are eliminated along with the 5th and 7th harmonics. This scheme consists of an open-end winding induction motor fed from one side by a two-level inverter and the other side by a three-level inverter comprising of two cascaded two-level inverters. Asymmetric DC-links of a particular ratio are present. The 12-sided and 18-sided polygonal voltage space vector methods have been first simulated using SIMULINK and then verified experimentally on a 1.5kW induction motor drive. In the simulation as well as the experimental setup the starting point is the generation of the three reference voltages v, vB and vC . A method for determining the sector in which the reference vector lies by comparing the values of the scaled sampled instantaneous reference voltages is proposed. For the reference vector lying in a sector between the two active vectors, the first vector is to be kept on for T1 duration and the second vector for T2 duration. These timing durations can be found from the derived formula, using the sampled instantaneous values of the reference voltages and the sector information. From the pulse widths and the sector number, the voltage level at which a phase in the inverter has to be maintained is uniquely determined from look-up tables. Thus, once the pole voltages are determined the phase voltages can be easily determined for simulation studies. By using a suitable induction motor model in the simulation, the effect of the PWM scheme on the motor current can be easily obtained. The simulation studies are experimentally verified on a 1.5kW open-end winding induction motor drive. A V/f control scheme is used for the study of the drive scheme for different speeds of operation. A DSP (TMS320LF2407A) is used for generating the PWM signals for variable speed operation. The 12-sided polygonal voltage space vector scheme with the motor fed from a single side has a simple power bus structure and it is also observed that the pole voltage is clamped to zero for 30% of the time duration of one cycle of operation. This will increase the overall efficiency. The proposed scheme eliminates all harmonics of the order 6n±1, n=1, 3, 5…for the complete modulation range. The 12-sided polygonal voltage space vector scheme with common-mode elimination requires the open-end winding configuration of the induction motor. Two asymmetrical DC-links are required which are common to both sides. The leg of the high voltage inverter is seen to be switched only for 50% duration in a cycle of operation. This will also reduce switching losses considerably. The proposed scheme not only eliminates all harmonics of the order 6n±1, n=1, 3, 5…for the complete modulation range, but also maintains the common-mode voltage on both sides constant. The common-mode voltage variation is eliminated. This eliminates bearing currents and shaft voltages which can damage the motor bearings. In the 18-sided polygonal voltage space vector based inverter, the 11th and 13th harmonics are eliminated along with the 5th and 7th. Here also an open-end winding induction motor is used, with a two-level inverter on one side and a three-level inverter on the other side. A pole of the two-level inverter is at clamped to zero voltage for 50% of the time and a pole of the three-level inverter is clamped to zero for 30% of the time for one cycle of operation. The 18-sided polygonal voltage space vectors show the highest maximum peak fundamental voltage in the 18-step mode of 0.663Vdc compared to 0.658Vdc in the 12-step mode of the 12-sided polygonal voltage space vector scheme and 0.637Vdc in the six-step mode of a two-level inverter or conventional multi-level inverter (where Vdc is the radius of the space vector polygon). Though the schemes proposed are verified on a low power laboratory prototype, the principle and the control algorithm development are general in nature and can be easily extended to induction motor drives for high power applications.

Este trabalho apresenta uma estratégia para a estimativa de velocidade do motor de indução trifásico baseada em redes neurais artificiais utilizando medidas de variáveis primárias como tensão e corrente. O uso de motores de indução trifásicos é uma constante em diversos setores industriais e de grande importância no cenário energético nacional. A maioria das metodologias de controle, acionamento e dimensionamento destes motores é fundamentada nas medidas de velocidade no eixo. Entretanto, a medida direta da velocidade compromete o sistema de controle e acionamento diminuindo sua robustez e aumentando o custo de implementação. Resultados de simulação e de ensaios experimentais para validação da proposta são também apresentados. / This work presents an approach to estimate speed in induction motors based on artificial neural networks and using measurement of primary variables like voltage and current. The use of induction motors is very common in many industrial sectors and plays an important role in the national energetic scene. The methodologies used in control, start up and dimensioning of these motors are based on measure of the speed variable. However, the direct measure of this variable compromises the system control and start up of the machine, reducing its robustness and increasing the implementation costs. Simulation results and experimental data are presented to validate the proposed approach.

In order to detect this fault, a test bench is used to impose different operation conditions to an induction motor, and each sample of the data set is taken from the line currents of the PWM inverter aforementioned. For feature extraction, the Motor Current Signature Analysis is used. The detection of this fault is treated as a classification problem, therefore different supervised algorithms of machine learning are used so as to solve it: Ordinary Least Squares, Singlelayer Perceptron, Multi-layer Perceptron, Extreme Learning Machine, Support-Vector Machine, Least-Squares Support-Vector Machine, the Minimal Learning Machine, and Gaussian Classifiers. Together with Reject Option technique, these classifiers are tested and the results are compared with other works that use the same data set. Maximum accuracy rates of 100% with Support-Vector Machine and Least-Squares Support-Vector Machine classifiers suggest that, in near future, an embedded system can be developed with these algorithms.

Rodriguez e outros em 2004. Apresenta-se também um estudo comparativo da resposta dinâmica de vários esquemas de controle direto de torque (DTC) para o motor de indução trifásico. O controlador FPIA determina dinâmicamente o ângulo de carga existente entre os vetores espaciais dos fluxos do estator e do rotor e, em consequência, o torque eletromagnético necessário para suprir a carga do motor. A base de regras para o controlador proposto é definida em função do erro "e" e da variação do erro "??" do torque eletromagnético usando funções de pertinência triangulares e trapezoidais. O controle é realizado em frequência de chaveamento constante e apresenta baixa ondulação de torque usando modulação em largura de pulsos por vetores espaciais. O desempenho do DTC com o controlador proposto é comparado com o desempenho do mesmo esquema usando o controlador PI através de várias medidas de desempenho tais como tempo de acomodação, tempo de subida e o índice integral do tempo multiplicado pelo valor absoluto do erro (ITAE). Foram realizadas simulações em diferentes condições de operação que mostram que o controlador proposto assegura uma resposta rápida com baixa ondulação do torque em comparação com o controlador PI, ambos aplicados ao mesmo esquema DTC / Abstract: This dissertation presents the performance of a self-tuning PI type fuzzy controller (STPIF) for the direct torque control (DTC) with space vector modulation (SVM) scheme presented by J. Rodriguez et al. in 2004. It is also presented a comparative study of the dynamic response of various DTC schemes for the three-phase induction motor. The STPIF controller determines dynamically the load angle between the stator and rotor flux space vectors and, consequently, the electromagnetic torque necessary to supply the motor load. The rule base for the proposed controller is defined in terms of error "e" and the change of the error "??" of electromagnetic torque using triangular and trapezoidal membership functions. Constant switching frequency and low torque ripple are obtained using SVM. The performance of the DTC-SVM with the proposed controller is compared with the performance of the same scheme but using PI controller in terms of several performance indexes such as settling time, rise time and integral-of-time multiplied by the absolute magnitude of the error index (ITAE). The simulation results show that the proposed controller ensures fast torque response and low torque ripple when compared to the PI controller, both implemented in the same DTC-SVM scheme / Mestrado / Energia Eletrica / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica
