Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronics and electric drives, and more specifically, to a low-frequency ride-through method for a sensorless induction motor based on current optimization. Background Technology

[0002] Methods for observing the rotor speed of induction motors can be divided into two main categories: one is signal injection, which extracts the rotor position information by sampling the response caused by the injected signal. This method allows the control system to operate stably under load for extended periods when the stator current frequency is extremely low. However, due to the poor anisotropy of the induction motor rotor, it is difficult to extract the true rotor position information in practical applications. The other method is the model method, which calculates the rotor speed using a motor model. Compared to the signal injection method, this method has been widely used in industrial fields. However, at extremely low stator current frequencies, the rotor speed cannot be estimated due to the extremely weak observability of the speed, leading to unstable operation of sensorless induction motor systems. As a type of model method, the full-order observer is unobservable under low-frequency operating conditions (typically when the stator current is at zero frequency). Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a current-optimized low-frequency ride-through method for sensorless induction motors to solve problems in related technologies.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a sensorless induction motor low-frequency ride-through method based on current optimization is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Reference two-phase static α-β A T-type equivalent model of an induction motor in a coordinate system is constructed by selecting stator current and rotor flux linkage as state variables and building a full-order state observer.

[0006] Based on the T-type equivalent model of the induction motor, the rotor speed is selected as the observed variable, and the state equation of the induction motor full-order observer is made.

[0007] The observer error equation is obtained based on the T-type equivalent model of the induction motor and the state equation of the full-order observer of the induction motor.

[0008] Based on the observer error equation, the adaptive rate of speed identification is derived using Popov's stability theorem.

[0009] At rest in two phases α-β The electromagnetic torque relationship is calculated based on synchronous speed and slip speed in the coordinate system;

[0011] Based on the stator current amplitude, a schematic diagram showing the variation of the stator current amplitude under different excitation current and electromagnetic torque conditions is drawn.

[0012] The diagram showing the change in current amplitude determines the critical torque value, and active zero-frequency crossover is triggered by dual conditions based on the critical torque value.

[0013] The T-type equivalent model of the induction motor is represented as follows: In the formula, , , These are the stator current, rotor flux linkage, and stator voltage in the two-phase stationary α-β coordinate system, respectively. , , , , ; , , , , , ; , Rs is the stator resistance of the induction motor, Rr is the rotor resistance of the induction motor, Ls is the stator inductance of the induction motor, Lr is the rotor inductance of the induction motor, Lm is the mutual inductance of the induction motor, Tr is the rotor time constant of the induction motor, δ is the leakage inductance coefficient, ωe is the synchronous frequency of the induction motor, ωr is the rotor frequency of the induction motor, and ωs is the slip frequency of the induction motor.

[0014] Furthermore, the state equation of the full-order observer of the induction motor is: In the formula, and It is a coefficient matrix, where the angular velocity of the induction motor rotor is... Replace with observed rotational speed .

[0015] Furthermore, the observer error equation is as follows: In the formula, , , ; , .

[0016] Furthermore, the adaptive rate of the speed identification is expressed as: ,in, , is the adjustable PI parameter of the stator resistance observer; p is the differential operator.

[0017] Furthermore, the electromagnetic torque is expressed as: In the formula, .

[0018] Furthermore, the stator current amplitude is expressed as: .

[0019] Furthermore, the critical torque value is: In the formula, IMmax is the maximum excitation current. .

[0020] Furthermore, the active zero-frequency crossover process triggered by dual conditions is as follows:

[0021] Select the active zero-frequency crossing boundary point based on the current during the zero-frequency crossing process:

[0022] When the load torque is less than the critical torque value, the two boundary points are made to have the same ordinate, and the coordinates of boundary points E1 and E2 are obtained as follows:

[0023] ;

[0024] When the load torque exceeds the critical torque, the excitation current value at boundary point E2 is chosen to be the maximum excitation current IMmax. At this point, the coordinates of boundary points E1 and E2 are obtained as follows:

[0025] , ;

[0026] in, ; ;

[0027] Te represents electromagnetic torque;

[0028] np represents the number of pole pairs in an induction motor;

[0029] Lm represents the mutual inductance of the induction motor;

[0030] Lr represents the rotor inductance of the induction motor;

[0031] Tr represents the rotor time constant of the induction motor;

[0032] This indicates that the synchronous speed limit value is set.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The practical effect of the present invention is to control the slip speed of the induction motor by controlling the given excitation current command value, thereby indirectly achieving control of the synchronous speed of the induction motor. Regarding the problem of selecting the boundary point for active zero-frequency crossing in low-frequency crossing, the present invention provides a boundary point selection criterion for optimizing the current selection during the crossing process.

[0043] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] Step 1: Induction Motor Speed ​​Observation Method Based on Full-Order Observer Model

[0045] Reference two-phase static α-β In the T-type equivalent model of the induction motor in the coordinate system, with stator current and rotor flux linkage as state variables, the mathematical model of the induction motor can be expressed as follows:

[0046] (7)

[0047] In the formula, , , They are two-phase stationary phases. α-β Stator current, rotor flux linkage, and stator voltage in a coordinate system. , , , , ; , , , , , ; , ,

[0048] R s It is the stator resistance of the induction motor.

[0049] R r It is the rotor resistance of the induction motor.

[0050] L s It is the stator inductance of an induction motor.

[0051] L r It is the rotor inductance of the induction motor.

[0052] L m It is mutual inductance in induction motors.

[0053] T r It is the rotor time constant of the induction motor.

[0054] δ It is the leakage inductance coefficient.

[0055] ω e It is the synchronous frequency of the induction motor.

[0056] ω r It is the rotor frequency of the induction motor.

[0057] ω s It is the slip frequency of the induction motor.

[0058] Based on the mathematical model of the motor (7), and selecting the rotor speed as the observed variable, the state equation of the full-order observer of the induction motor is:

[0059] (8)

[0060] In the formula, and It is a coefficient matrix, where the rotor speed is... ω r Replace with observed rotational speed .

[0061] Based on the mathematical model equation (7) and the observer equation (8), the observer error equation can be obtained as follows:

[0062] (9)

[0063] In the formula, , , ; , .

[0064] Based on the observer error equation, the adaptive rate of speed identification can be derived using Popov's stability theorem. First

[0065] (10)

[0066] In the formula,

[0067] .

[0068] Substituting, we can get

[0069] (11)

[0070] To satisfy the above equation, the speed adaptive rate can be obtained, and the speed tracking performance can be adjusted by selecting appropriate PI parameters. Therefore, the observer speed adaptive rate can be expressed as:

[0071] (12)

[0072] in, K pω , K iω It is an adjustable PI parameter of the stator resistance observer; p It is a differential operator.

[0073] Step Two: Principle of Sensorless Induction Motor Low-Frequency Cross-Traffic Technology

[0074] In a two-phase synchronous coordinate system, the synchronous speed and the slip speed can be expressed as:

[0075] (13)

[0076] Electromagnetic torque can be expressed as:

[0077] (14)

[0078] In the formula, .

[0079] From equation (13), it can be seen that when the excitation current i sd When the slip speed is constant, the torque current is related to the slip speed. i sq Linear correlation. Conversely, the slip speed can be changed while maintaining constant torque (14) by adjusting the excitation current command value. This maintains a minimum synchronous speed and improves speed observability. The excitation current command value is expressed as:

[0080] (15)

[0081] In the formula, the change in the excitation current command value is expressed as:

[0082] (16)

[0083] Step 3: Current Optimization Methods in Low-Frequency Ride-Through Technology

[0084] Combining the electromagnetic torque relationship (14), the stator current amplitude can be expressed as:

[0085] (17)

[0086] According to equation (17), a schematic diagram of the stator current amplitude variation can be drawn under different excitation current and electromagnetic torque conditions, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the figure. Points E1 and E2 are active boundary crossing points. To complete active zero-frequency crossing, the difference in slip between points E1 and E2 needs to satisfy a minimum slip constraint, i.e.

[0087] (18)

[0088] In the formula, , These are the slips at points E1 and E2, respectively. It is the minimum synchronous speed limit.

[0089] To satisfy the requirements of slip difference (18) and minimum current at the boundary points, the optimal solution is to have the same ordinate at the boundary points. In this case, the stator current at the boundary points will increase with the increase of torque. However, as the torque continues to increase, the abscissa of point E2 will exceed the maximum excitation current limit. At this point, to satisfy the slip difference requirement at the boundary points, boundary point E1 needs to be moved to the left. The critical torque values ​​for the above two cases are:

[0090] (19)

[0091] In the formula, I Mmax It is the maximum excitation current. .

[0092] When the load torque is less than the critical torque value, the two boundary points are made to have the same ordinate, and the coordinates of boundary points E1 and E2 are obtained as follows:

[0093] (20)

[0094] When the load torque exceeds the critical torque, the excitation current value at boundary point E2 is chosen to be the maximum excitation current IMmax. At this point, the coordinates of boundary points E1 and E2 are obtained as follows:

[0095] (twenty one)

[0096] In the formula, .

[0097] Therefore, the active zero-frequency crossing boundary point can be selected according to the motor load condition. When the load is less than the critical torque, the active zero-frequency crossing is triggered by condition (20). When the load is greater than the critical torque, the active zero-frequency crossing is triggered by condition (21). The operating condition point of the induction motor switches instantaneously between E1 and E2.

[0098] Step 4: Experimental Verification

[0099] To verify the effectiveness of the above implementation scheme, a 2.2kW induction motor was used to conduct an experimental demonstration on the towing platform. The motor parameters are shown in Table 1. In the comparative experiment, the rotational speed switching from 100rpm to -100rpm (rated speed 1435rpm) was set to 80s. The rotor speed acceleration was -0.04r / s². 2 In the experiment, the calculated critical load torque was 5.3 Nm. (Symbol) I 2 Represents the square of the effective value of the current, its value is given by ( i 2 sd + i 2 sq The result is calculated as ) / 2.

[0100] Table 1 Parameters of 2.2kW Induction Motor

[0101]

[0102] experiment Figures 2-5 The experiments were conducted under load conditions below and above the critical speed. In all experiments, the entire zero-frequency ride-through process was successfully completed. Before and after the active zero-frequency ride-through, the excitation current gradually decreased, causing the synchronous speed to converge to the synchronous speed limit. During the active zero-frequency ride-through, a step increase in the excitation current caused the motor's operating point to instantaneously switch between different boundary points, simultaneously crossing the stator zero-frequency line.

[0103] In experiments with current optimization Figure 3 and Figure 5 In this process, the square of the effective value of the stator current can be observed. I 2 Both phase current and phase current are compared to experiments without current optimization. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The results show that the proposed method achieves current optimization, as evidenced by the small to medium current values. Comparative experiments are also conducted. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Without current optimization, the motor operating point experiences a significant increase in current after zero-frequency crossover. This indicates that the boundary point selection is unreasonable without current optimization, and the active zero-frequency crossover boundary point needs to be moved to the left. Similarly, comparative experiments... Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be observed that when optimizing the current, the square of the effective value of the current is... I 2 The phase current is relatively small before zero-frequency ride-through is complete. This indicates that without current optimization, the active zero-frequency ride-through boundary point needs to be shifted to the right, and the excitation current at point E2 needs to be set to... I MmaxComparative experiments verified that the proposed current optimization method can effectively select the optimal active zero-frequency crossing boundary point, thereby achieving optimal current control during the zero-frequency crossing process.
