Abstract:

Induction Motors are the most popular in power and industrial drives due to their simple operation, rugged construction, and free maintenance. In the last decade, the advanced technology of integrated power electronics-based drive enabled flexible operation and achieved effective speed control at each operating stage of the drive. Unlike scalar control, the performance of the induction motor is highly improved by using vector control methods. The vector control methods are categorized into direct field-oriented control (DFOC) and indirect field-oriented control (IFOC). Indirect Vector Control (IFOC) shows better dynamic performance and robust stability during zero and low-frequency speeds. Earlier, Digital Signal Processing (DSP), dSPACE, and microcontrollers are used for the hardware realization of the vector control methods. In the case of a hardware implementation of AC drives, FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) controllers provide better computation time and higher processing capabilities in comparison to conventional controllers. In this work, a novel real-time FPGA-based Snetly controller (Xilinx ARTIX-7 (XC7A200T) FPGA Controller with a 150 MHz clock frequency) is used to carry out a numerical simulation of an IFOC-based Induction Motor Drive. Firstly, the IFOC control algorithm is designed in MATLAB/Simulink software and then implemented in a Snetly real-time simulator. The Simulink results are validated and verified through the Snetly real-time controller. Further, the scope of this research article is useful for designing FOC-based Sensorless Induction Motor Drives effectively.
