"Parameter-insensitive sensorless decoupled P-Q controller

for doubly-fed induction machine"

by

Professor Ooi Boon Teck

Abstract:

Doubly-fed induction machines (DFIM) are economical because the back-to-back Voltage-Source Converters connected on the rotor-side can be de-rated by 0.3, which is the maximum operating slip in  many applications. The controls require the positions of the rotors to be known and presently this is accomplished by mechanically mounted position encoders. The sensorless controller is based on Phase Lock Loop (PLL) principle, which extracts the information from voltage and current measurements. The seminar presents the method and the experimental test results which show that the sensorless controller functions even in a noisy environment and is insensitive to parameter variation. An analysis is presented explaining why the sensorless controller is immune to noise. The figure below shows that the experimental DFIM outputs, active power PS and reactive power QS, can track the control references in a decoupled manner.

Biography of Speaker:

Ooi Boon Teck attended the Victoria Institution in Kuala Lumpur. He obtained the B.Eng. (Honours) from the University of Adelaide, Australia, the S.M. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, and the PhD. from McGill University, Canada. He was a lecturer in the Technical College (now UTM) in Kuala Lumpur. He is Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McGill University. His research interests have been in linear and rotating electric machinery; subsynchronous resonance (SSR) instability, long distance transmission by HVdc, series and shunt capacitor compensation; power quality improvement by PWM-rectifiers; flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS); Voltage-Source Converter-HVDC. His present interest is how to increase the penetration of wind power in the utility grid.  He is a Fellow of IEEE.
