    The document discusses open loop and closed loop V/F control of induction motors. Open loop control regulates motor speed by varying frequency alone, while closed loop control uses feedback of actual motor speed to regulate both frequency and voltage more precisely.

    3.2 V/F Control

    Open Loop V/F Control


    The open loop V/F control of an induction motor is the most common method
    of speed control because of its simplicity and these types of motors are widely used
    in industry. Traditionally, induction motors have been used with open loop 50Hz
    power supplies for constant speed applications. For adjustable speed drive
    applications, frequency control is natural. However, voltage is required to be
    proportional to frequency so that the stator flux.

    Ѱs=Ѵs/Ѡs

    Remains constant if the stator resistance is neglected. The power circuit consists
    of a diode rectifier with a single or three-phase ac supply, filter and PWM voltage-
    fed inverter. Ideally no feedback signals are required for this control scheme.

    The PWM converter is merged with the inverter block. Some problems
    encountered in the operation of this open loop drive are the following:

    The speed of the motor cannot be controlled precisely, because the rotor
    speed will be slightly less than the synchronous speed and that in this scheme the
    stator frequency and hence the synchronous speed is the only control variable.

    The slip speed, being the difference between the synchronous speed and the
    electrical rotor speed, cannot be maintained, as the rotor speed is not measured in this
    scheme. This can lead to operation in the unstable region of the torque-speed
    characteristics.

    The effect of the above can make the stator currents exceed the rated current
    by a large amount thus endangering the inverter- converter combination.

    These problems are to be suppress by having an outer loop in the induction


    motor drive, in which the actual rotor speed is compared with its commanded value,
    and the error is processed through a controller usually a PI controller and a limiter is
    used to obtain the slip-speed command.

    Closed Loop V/F Control


    The basis of constant V/F speed control of induction motor is to
    apply a variable magnitude and variable frequency voltage to the motor.
    Both the voltage source inverter and current source inverters are used in
    adjustable speed ac drives. The following block diagram shows the closed
    loop V/F control using a VSI.

    A speed sensor or a shaft position encoder is used to obtain the actual speed
    of the motor. It is then compared to a reference speed. The difference between the
    two generates an error and the error so obtained is processed in a Proportional
    controller and its output sets the inverter frequency. Thesynchronous speed,
    obtained by adding actual speed Ѡ f and the slip speed ѠSI, determines the

    inverter frequency The reference signal for the closed-loop control of the machine
    terminal voltage Ѡf is generated from frequency.
