Variable Speed Vector Control for Induction Motor of Electric Vehicle

This paper presents the speed performance of an induction motor by using a vector control. The control scheme used is an indirect vector control for define speed command. The main focus of this research is to observe on the dynamic speed performance of the induction motor when the command speed is given to the motor. In this study, the system of indirect vector control will be built by using Matlab Simulink. In fact, the expression of exciting flux linkage and electromagnetic torque are used to create a simple embedded system which to find out the effects of flux weakening in motor while, the gain of the speed controller is 100. The result shows that the vector control method will cause immediate the motor speed response with a small electromagnetic torque ripple. Furthermore, the output mechanical torque starts to decrease when the motor speed above the base speed to maintain a constant output power operation. This paper contributes a new algorithm to analysis the system when the speed motor is higher than a base speed.
