Adaptive Vector Control of Induction Motor Based Inverse Dynamic Dynamometer

Enhancement of the electrical machines performance with different applications requires the comprehensive study and investigations into the electrical drive systems dealing with industrial loads. Identification of the electrical motors performance characteristics and their drive systems under various loading conditions necessitates a programmable dynamometer drive system with desired dynamic characteristics to emulate the real working conditions in the laboratory environment. One of the basic challenges in such systems is to consider the effect of uncertainties and parameters variations on the dynamometer drive system performance. In this paper, the emulation of the industrial loads profile has been carried out through inverse dynamics method and by utilizing a dynamometer which is based on the adaptive model of a vector-controlled induction motor. Simulation results are presented to verify the enhanced dynamic response of the dynamometer system through the proposed method.
