Abstract
The use of a feedback loop to regulate the slip frequency of an inverter-driven induction machine is viewed as replacing the normal independent control of stator frequency with independent control of slip frequency. For steady-state conditions the two modes of operation are shown to produce characteristics analogous to shunt and series dc machines. A method employing closed-form transfer functions, a reduced set of nondimensional parameters, and a general root locus diagram is used to present the dynamic characteristics of controlled slip frequency operation and to compare performance with conventional operation. The parameter range in the general diagram is sufficient to incorporate nearly all standard induction machines over a wide size and frequency range. The results demonstrate that the ratio K of the rotor transient time constant to the static electromechanical time constant is a critical parameter in the comparison of the two modes. Since this parameter tends to increase with machine size, the relative advantages of slip frequency control are shown to be machine-size dependent. Inclusion of a speed-control loop regulating machine voltage is also Considered and shown to be described by the same general root loci. The performance of this closed-loop system is also shown to be very dependent on K and hence on machine size.Keywords
