Real-Time Low-Cost Speed Monitoring and Control of Three-Phase Induction Motor via a VoltageFrequency Control Approach

Abstract EN

In this paper, a new design of a real-time low-cost speed monitoring and closed-loop control of the three-phase induction motor (IM) is proposed.

The proposed solution is based on a voltage/frequency (V/F) control approach and a PI antiwindup regulator.

It uses the Waijung Blockset which considerably alleviates the heaviness and the difficulty of the microcontroller’s programming task incessantly crucial for the implementation and the management of such complex applications.

Indeed, it automatically generates C codes for many types of microcontrollers like the STM32F4 family, also used in this application.

Furthermore, it offers a cost-effective design reducing the system components and increasing its efficiency.

To prove the efficiency of the suggested design, not only simulation results are carried out for a wide range of variations in load and reference speed but also experimental assessment.

The real-time closed-loop control performances are proved using the aMG SQLite Data Server via the UART port board, whereas Waijung WebPage Designer (W2D) is used for the web monitoring task.

Experimental results prove the accuracy and robustness of the proposed solution.
