1 Introduction

Induction motor is a widely used electrical motor and agreat energy consumerThe vast majority of induction motordrives are used for heating ventilation and air condition-ing (HVAC) These applications require only low dynamicperformance and in most cases only voltage source inverteris inserted between grid and induction motor as cheapestsolution The classical way to control these drives is constantVf ratio and simple methods for efficiency optimizationcan be applied [1] From the other side there are manyapplications where like electrical vehicles electric energy hasto be consumed in the best possible way and use of inductionmotors These applications require an energy optimizedcontrol strategy [2]

One interesting algorithmwhich can be applied in a drivecontroller is algorithm for efficiency optimization

In a conventional setting the field excitation is keptconstant at rated value throughout its entire load range Ifmachine is underloaded this would result in overexcitationand unnecessary copper losses Thus in cases where a motordrive has to operate in wider load range the minimizationof losses has great significance It is known that efficiency

improvement of IMD can be implemented via motor fluxlevel and this method has been proven to be particularlyeffective at light loads and in a steady state of drive Alsoflux reduction at light loads gives less acoustic noise derivedfrom both converter and machine From the other side lowflux makes motor more sensitive to load disturbances anddegrades dynamic performances [3]

Drive loss model is used for optimal drive control inloss model control (LMC) [3ndash7] These algorithms are fastbecause the optimal control is calculated directly from theloss model But power loss modeling and calculation of theoptimal control can be very complex Often the loss model isnot accurate enough

Search strategy methods have an important advantagecompared to other strategies [8ndash11] It is completely insen-sitive to parameter changes while effects of the parametervariations caused by temperature and saturation are veryexpressed in two other strategies The online efficiencyoptimization control on the basis of search where the flux isdecremented in steps until the measured input power settlesdown to the lowest value is very attractive Algorithm isapplicable universally to any motor Besides all good charac-teristics of search strategy methods there is an outstanding

problem in its use For many applications flux convergence toits optimal value is too slowly Also flux is never reached itsoptimal value then in small steps oscillates around it

For electrical drives that work in periodic cycles it ispossible to calculate the optimal trajectory of magnetizationflux using optimal control theory so that power losses inoneworking cycle areminimal [12]Thesemethods give goodresults if the working conditions do not change

Hybrid method combines good characteristics of twooptimization strategies SC and LMC [3 13ndash15] It wasenhanced attention as interesting solution for efficiencyoptimization of controlled electrical drives During tran-sient process LMC is used so fast flux changes and gooddynamic performances are kept Search control is usedfor efficiency optimization in a steady state of drive Lossmodel of IM in d-q rotational system and procedure forparameter identification in a loss model based on Moore-Penrose pseudoinversion is given in Section 2 New hybridmodel is presented in Section 3 Qualitative analyses of thismethod with simulation and experimental results are givenin Section 4 At the end obtained results are presented inConclusion

2 Power Loss Modeling

The process of energy conversion within motor drive con-verter and motor leads to the power losses in the motorwindings and magnetic circuit as well as conduction andcommutation losses in the inverter [6]

The losses in the motor consist of hysteresis losses andeddy current losses in a magnetic circuit (iron losses) lossesin the stator and rotor windings (copper loss) and straylosses In nominal operating conditions the iron losses aretypically 2-3 times smaller than the copper losses but atlow loads these losses are dominant These losses consistof hysteresis and eddy current losses Eddy current lossesare proportional to the square of supply frequency andhysteresis losses are proportional to supply frequency Bothcomponents of iron losses are dependent of stator flux levelso next expression is suitable to represent these losses

where 119888eddy is eddy current and 119888hys is hysteresis loss coeffi-cients

Copper losses are appeared as a result of the passing theelectric current through the stator and rotor windings Theselosses are proportional to the square of current through statorand rotor windings and they are given by

119904+ 1198771199031198942

119904119902 (2)

The total additional losses typically do not exceed 5when the drive works with light loads This case is the mostimportant for the power loss minimization algorithms sostray losses are not considered as a separate loss component

Losses in the drive converter consist of the losses inthe rectifier and the conductive and switching losses in theinverter The losses in the rectifier are independent of the

magnetizing flux and not specifically taken into accountOnly conductive losses in the inverter are dependent on themagnetizing flux and these can be presented in the next form

119875INV = 119877INV1198942

119904= 119877INV (119894

119904119889+ 1198942

119904119902) (3)

Based on the previous considerations the losses in theinduction motor drive dependent on the magnetizing fluxcan be expressed as follows

119875120574 = (119877INV + 119877119904) 1198942

119904119889+ (119877INV + 119877119904 + 119877119903) 119894

Take into account expression for output power119875out = 119889120596120595119904119889119894119904119902 (5)

where 119875out is output power and 119889 is constant which dependson the characteristics of Parkrsquos rotating transformation (inthis case it is 15) and the relation

119875in = 119875120574 + 119875out (6)

expression for input power can be written in the next form

119875in = 1198861198942

119904119889+ 1198871198942

where 119886 = 119877119904 + 119877INV 119887 = 119877119904 + 119877INV + 119877119903 1198881 = 119888eddy 1198882 = 119888hysand 119889 is positive constant

Two typical cases are differed(1) linear dependence of magnetizing flux from the mag-

netizing current(2) nonlinear dependence of magnetizing flux from the

magnetizing currentIn the algorithms for loss minimization magnetizing flux

is less than or equal to the nominal value so it is used in thelinear part of magnetization characteristics

Starting from the expressions (4) and taking into accountexpression (5) the power losses can be expressed as a functionof 119894119904119889 119879em and 120596119904 as follows

119875120574 (119894119904119889 119879em 120596119904) = (119886 + 11988811198712

21 Parameter Identification in a Loss Model This proce-dure of parameter identification is a mainly based on theprocedures described in [6 7] In order to determine theparameters in the model losses 119886 119887 1198881 and 1198882 it is necessaryto measure the input power and know the exact value of theoutput power The exact value of the output power is neededto determine correct information of the losses in the driveand to avoid coupling between load pulsation and work ofoptimization controller Also the samples of the values thatdefine input powers VDC 119894DC (119875in = VDC119894DC) are availablein the controller and these values are used for protect andcontrol functions (dynamic braking the soft-start operationPWM compensation etc)

The proposed procedure of parameter identification isshown in Figure 1 The samples that exist in the expres-sion (7) are memorized at each period Usually the 119879119878

The choice of 119876 is of great importance for the process ofparameters identification (see (15)) because the input powerfluctuations should be sufficient in the period 119879 = 119876119879119878Otherwise 119875

119879119875 matrix will be singular or aspire singularity

that is det (119875119879119875)will be close to 0Theprocess of determiningthe parameters in the loss model is repeated during theoperation of electric drive

Figure 1 A method for determining the parameters 119886 119887 1198881 1198882and 119889 from the input signal

vector on the basis of 119889 stator current vector component andelectromagnetic torque reference (see (14)) Position of rotorflux vector is determined in indirect vector control block(IVC)

Hybrid model for efficiency optimization consists from3 blocks LMC SC and steady state control (SSC) blockLMC is used during transient states caused of external speedor torque demand [3] Optimal control (119894lowast

119904119889LMC 119894lowast

119904119902LMC) iscalculated directly from loss model for a given operationalconditions what obtains power loss optimization and gooddynamic performances SC is used in a steady state for aconstant output power

On the basis of speed reference and measured speed SSCblock defines its output and controls switches (Figure 2) Iftransient states is detected LMC is active and its outputs areforwarded to indirect vector control (IVC) block and currentregulators When steady state is detected in SSC block lastvalue of magnetizing current during transient state is used asstarting point for search algorithm

31 Loss Model Controller Optimal control calculation inLMC for a given operational conditions is described inSection 2

Expressions for 119889 and 119902 component of stator current aredefined by (8) and (10)

This method is sensitive to parameter changes due totemperature changes and magnetic circuit saturation whatconsequently leads to error in a current references calcu-lation So algorithm for parameter identification is alwaysactive and parameters in the loss model are continuouslyupdated (Figure 2)

32 Search Controller Search algorithm is used in steadystate which is detected in the SSC block Error that existsbetween the current reference 119894119889 that is generated in the LMCmodel and in the search model appears as a consequence ofinverter and stray losses which are not included in the modelThe applied search algorithm is simple Since the current 119894119904119889is very close to the value which gives minimal losses smallstep of magnetization current Δ119894119904119889 = 001119868119889119899 is chosen

For two successive values of the 119894119904119889 current power lossesare determined Sign of Δ119894119904119889 is maintained if power losses arereduced Otherwise the sign of Δ119894119904119889 is opposite in the nextstep

119894119904119889 (119899) = 119894119904119889 (119899 minus 1) minus sgn (Δ119875120574 (119899 minus 1)) Δ119894119904119889 (17)

When the two values of magnetization current 1198941199041198891 and1198941199041198892 were found so the sign of power loss is changed betweenthese values and new reference of 119894119904119889 current is specified as

In this way there are no oscillations of 119894119904119889 current air gapflux and electromagnetic torque which are characteristics ofthe search algorithm

Figure 9 Speed response when the hybrid method is applied andoperational conditions shown in Figure 3

For a light load hybrid method for efficiency optimiza-tion gives significant power loss reduction (Figures 5 6 and7)

There is no oscillation of magnetization flux which ischaracteristic of the search algorithms (Figures 4 and 8)

Also this hybrid method shows good dynamic perfor-mances and no sensitivity to parameter changes (Figure 9)

Implementation of presented algorithm is simple and itcan be universally applied to any electrical motor Changesare only related to different models of power losses

problem in its use For many applications flux convergence toits optimal value is too slowly Also flux is never reached itsoptimal value then in small steps oscillates around it

For electrical drives that work in periodic cycles it ispossible to calculate the optimal trajectory of magnetizationflux using optimal control theory so that power losses inoneworking cycle areminimal [12]Thesemethods give goodresults if the working conditions do not change

Hybrid method combines good characteristics of twooptimization strategies SC and LMC [3 13ndash15] It wasenhanced attention as interesting solution for efficiencyoptimization of controlled electrical drives During tran-sient process LMC is used so fast flux changes and gooddynamic performances are kept Search control is usedfor efficiency optimization in a steady state of drive Lossmodel of IM in d-q rotational system and procedure forparameter identification in a loss model based on Moore-Penrose pseudoinversion is given in Section 2 New hybridmodel is presented in Section 3 Qualitative analyses of thismethod with simulation and experimental results are givenin Section 4 At the end obtained results are presented inConclusion

2 Power Loss Modeling

The process of energy conversion within motor drive con-verter and motor leads to the power losses in the motorwindings and magnetic circuit as well as conduction andcommutation losses in the inverter [6]

The losses in the motor consist of hysteresis losses andeddy current losses in a magnetic circuit (iron losses) lossesin the stator and rotor windings (copper loss) and straylosses In nominal operating conditions the iron losses aretypically 2-3 times smaller than the copper losses but atlow loads these losses are dominant These losses consistof hysteresis and eddy current losses Eddy current lossesare proportional to the square of supply frequency andhysteresis losses are proportional to supply frequency Bothcomponents of iron losses are dependent of stator flux levelso next expression is suitable to represent these losses

where 119888eddy is eddy current and 119888hys is hysteresis loss coeffi-cients

Copper losses are appeared as a result of the passing theelectric current through the stator and rotor windings Theselosses are proportional to the square of current through statorand rotor windings and they are given by

119904+ 1198771199031198942

119904119902 (2)

The total additional losses typically do not exceed 5when the drive works with light loads This case is the mostimportant for the power loss minimization algorithms sostray losses are not considered as a separate loss component

Losses in the drive converter consist of the losses inthe rectifier and the conductive and switching losses in theinverter The losses in the rectifier are independent of the

magnetizing flux and not specifically taken into accountOnly conductive losses in the inverter are dependent on themagnetizing flux and these can be presented in the next form

119875INV = 119877INV1198942

119904119889+ 1198942

119904119902) (3)

Based on the previous considerations the losses in theinduction motor drive dependent on the magnetizing fluxcan be expressed as follows

119875120574 = (119877INV + 119877119904) 1198942

Two typical cases are differed(1) linear dependence of magnetizing flux from the mag-

netizing current(2) nonlinear dependence of magnetizing flux from the

magnetizing currentIn the algorithms for loss minimization magnetizing flux

is less than or equal to the nominal value so it is used in thelinear part of magnetization characteristics

21 Parameter Identification in a Loss Model This proce-dure of parameter identification is a mainly based on theprocedures described in [6 7] In order to determine theparameters in the model losses 119886 119887 1198881 and 1198882 it is necessaryto measure the input power and know the exact value of theoutput power The exact value of the output power is neededto determine correct information of the losses in the driveand to avoid coupling between load pulsation and work ofoptimization controller Also the samples of the values thatdefine input powers VDC 119894DC (119875in = VDC119894DC) are availablein the controller and these values are used for protect andcontrol functions (dynamic braking the soft-start operationPWM compensation etc)

The proposed procedure of parameter identification isshown in Figure 1 The samples that exist in the expres-sion (7) are memorized at each period Usually the 119879119878

is 100ndash200 120583s Due to high-frequency components that donot contribute to identification of the relevant parameters

That is119882119892 is approximate solution of thematrix equations119875119882 = 119884 which gives a minimum value 119875119882 minus 119884 orminimummean-square error

The choice of 119876 is of great importance for the process ofparameters identification (see (15)) because the input powerfluctuations should be sufficient in the period 119879 = 119876119879119878Otherwise 119875

119879119875 matrix will be singular or aspire singularity

that is det (119875119879119875)will be close to 0Theprocess of determiningthe parameters in the loss model is repeated during theoperation of electric drive

Figure 1 A method for determining the parameters 119886 119887 1198881 1198882and 119889 from the input signal

vector on the basis of 119889 stator current vector component andelectromagnetic torque reference (see (14)) Position of rotorflux vector is determined in indirect vector control block(IVC)

Hybrid model for efficiency optimization consists from3 blocks LMC SC and steady state control (SSC) blockLMC is used during transient states caused of external speedor torque demand [3] Optimal control (119894lowast

119904119889LMC 119894lowast

119904119902LMC) iscalculated directly from loss model for a given operationalconditions what obtains power loss optimization and gooddynamic performances SC is used in a steady state for aconstant output power

On the basis of speed reference and measured speed SSCblock defines its output and controls switches (Figure 2) Iftransient states is detected LMC is active and its outputs areforwarded to indirect vector control (IVC) block and currentregulators When steady state is detected in SSC block lastvalue of magnetizing current during transient state is used asstarting point for search algorithm

31 Loss Model Controller Optimal control calculation inLMC for a given operational conditions is described inSection 2

Expressions for 119889 and 119902 component of stator current aredefined by (8) and (10)

This method is sensitive to parameter changes due totemperature changes and magnetic circuit saturation whatconsequently leads to error in a current references calcu-lation So algorithm for parameter identification is alwaysactive and parameters in the loss model are continuouslyupdated (Figure 2)

32 Search Controller Search algorithm is used in steadystate which is detected in the SSC block Error that existsbetween the current reference 119894119889 that is generated in the LMCmodel and in the search model appears as a consequence ofinverter and stray losses which are not included in the modelThe applied search algorithm is simple Since the current 119894119904119889is very close to the value which gives minimal losses smallstep of magnetization current Δ119894119904119889 = 001119868119889119899 is chosen

For two successive values of the 119894119904119889 current power lossesare determined Sign of Δ119894119904119889 is maintained if power losses arereduced Otherwise the sign of Δ119894119904119889 is opposite in the nextstep

119894119904119889 (119899) = 119894119904119889 (119899 minus 1) minus sgn (Δ119875120574 (119899 minus 1)) Δ119894119904119889 (17)

When the two values of magnetization current 1198941199041198891 and1198941199041198892 were found so the sign of power loss is changed betweenthese values and new reference of 119894119904119889 current is specified as

In this way there are no oscillations of 119894119904119889 current air gapflux and electromagnetic torque which are characteristics ofthe search algorithm

Figure 9 Speed response when the hybrid method is applied andoperational conditions shown in Figure 3

For a light load hybrid method for efficiency optimiza-tion gives significant power loss reduction (Figures 5 6 and7)

There is no oscillation of magnetization flux which ischaracteristic of the search algorithms (Figures 4 and 8)

Also this hybrid method shows good dynamic perfor-mances and no sensitivity to parameter changes (Figure 9)

Implementation of presented algorithm is simple and itcan be universally applied to any electrical motor Changesare only related to different models of power losses

21 Parameter Identification in a Loss Model This proce-dure of parameter identification is a mainly based on theprocedures described in [6 7] In order to determine theparameters in the model losses 119886 119887 1198881 and 1198882 it is necessaryto measure the input power and know the exact value of theoutput power The exact value of the output power is neededto determine correct information of the losses in the driveand to avoid coupling between load pulsation and work ofoptimization controller Also the samples of the values thatdefine input powers VDC 119894DC (119875in = VDC119894DC) are availablein the controller and these values are used for protect andcontrol functions (dynamic braking the soft-start operationPWM compensation etc)

The proposed procedure of parameter identification isshown in Figure 1 The samples that exist in the expres-sion (7) are memorized at each period Usually the 119879119878

is 100ndash200 120583s Due to high-frequency components that donot contribute to identification of the relevant parameters

119875119884 (16)

That is119882119892 is approximate solution of thematrix equations119875119882 = 119884 which gives a minimum value 119875119882 minus 119884 orminimummean-square error

The choice of 119876 is of great importance for the process ofparameters identification (see (15)) because the input powerfluctuations should be sufficient in the period 119879 = 119876119879119878Otherwise 119875

119879119875 matrix will be singular or aspire singularity

that is det (119875119879119875)will be close to 0Theprocess of determiningthe parameters in the loss model is repeated during theoperation of electric drive

Figure 1 A method for determining the parameters 119886 119887 1198881 1198882and 119889 from the input signal

vector on the basis of 119889 stator current vector component andelectromagnetic torque reference (see (14)) Position of rotorflux vector is determined in indirect vector control block(IVC)

Hybrid model for efficiency optimization consists from3 blocks LMC SC and steady state control (SSC) blockLMC is used during transient states caused of external speedor torque demand [3] Optimal control (119894lowast

119904119889LMC 119894lowast

119904119902LMC) iscalculated directly from loss model for a given operationalconditions what obtains power loss optimization and gooddynamic performances SC is used in a steady state for aconstant output power

On the basis of speed reference and measured speed SSCblock defines its output and controls switches (Figure 2) Iftransient states is detected LMC is active and its outputs areforwarded to indirect vector control (IVC) block and currentregulators When steady state is detected in SSC block lastvalue of magnetizing current during transient state is used asstarting point for search algorithm

31 Loss Model Controller Optimal control calculation inLMC for a given operational conditions is described inSection 2

Expressions for 119889 and 119902 component of stator current aredefined by (8) and (10)

This method is sensitive to parameter changes due totemperature changes and magnetic circuit saturation whatconsequently leads to error in a current references calcu-lation So algorithm for parameter identification is alwaysactive and parameters in the loss model are continuouslyupdated (Figure 2)

32 Search Controller Search algorithm is used in steadystate which is detected in the SSC block Error that existsbetween the current reference 119894119889 that is generated in the LMCmodel and in the search model appears as a consequence ofinverter and stray losses which are not included in the modelThe applied search algorithm is simple Since the current 119894119904119889is very close to the value which gives minimal losses smallstep of magnetization current Δ119894119904119889 = 001119868119889119899 is chosen

For two successive values of the 119894119904119889 current power lossesare determined Sign of Δ119894119904119889 is maintained if power losses arereduced Otherwise the sign of Δ119894119904119889 is opposite in the nextstep

119894119904119889 (119899) = 119894119904119889 (119899 minus 1) minus sgn (Δ119875120574 (119899 minus 1)) Δ119894119904119889 (17)

When the two values of magnetization current 1198941199041198891 and1198941199041198892 were found so the sign of power loss is changed betweenthese values and new reference of 119894119904119889 current is specified as

In this way there are no oscillations of 119894119904119889 current air gapflux and electromagnetic torque which are characteristics ofthe search algorithm

Figure 9 Speed response when the hybrid method is applied andoperational conditions shown in Figure 3

For a light load hybrid method for efficiency optimiza-tion gives significant power loss reduction (Figures 5 6 and7)

There is no oscillation of magnetization flux which ischaracteristic of the search algorithms (Figures 4 and 8)

Also this hybrid method shows good dynamic perfor-mances and no sensitivity to parameter changes (Figure 9)

Implementation of presented algorithm is simple and itcan be universally applied to any electrical motor Changesare only related to different models of power losses

Figure 1 A method for determining the parameters 119886 119887 1198881 1198882and 119889 from the input signal

vector on the basis of 119889 stator current vector component andelectromagnetic torque reference (see (14)) Position of rotorflux vector is determined in indirect vector control block(IVC)

Hybrid model for efficiency optimization consists from3 blocks LMC SC and steady state control (SSC) blockLMC is used during transient states caused of external speedor torque demand [3] Optimal control (119894lowast

119904119889LMC 119894lowast

119904119902LMC) iscalculated directly from loss model for a given operationalconditions what obtains power loss optimization and gooddynamic performances SC is used in a steady state for aconstant output power

On the basis of speed reference and measured speed SSCblock defines its output and controls switches (Figure 2) Iftransient states is detected LMC is active and its outputs areforwarded to indirect vector control (IVC) block and currentregulators When steady state is detected in SSC block lastvalue of magnetizing current during transient state is used asstarting point for search algorithm

31 Loss Model Controller Optimal control calculation inLMC for a given operational conditions is described inSection 2

Expressions for 119889 and 119902 component of stator current aredefined by (8) and (10)

This method is sensitive to parameter changes due totemperature changes and magnetic circuit saturation whatconsequently leads to error in a current references calcu-lation So algorithm for parameter identification is alwaysactive and parameters in the loss model are continuouslyupdated (Figure 2)

32 Search Controller Search algorithm is used in steadystate which is detected in the SSC block Error that existsbetween the current reference 119894119889 that is generated in the LMCmodel and in the search model appears as a consequence ofinverter and stray losses which are not included in the modelThe applied search algorithm is simple Since the current 119894119904119889is very close to the value which gives minimal losses smallstep of magnetization current Δ119894119904119889 = 001119868119889119899 is chosen

For two successive values of the 119894119904119889 current power lossesare determined Sign of Δ119894119904119889 is maintained if power losses arereduced Otherwise the sign of Δ119894119904119889 is opposite in the nextstep

119894119904119889 (119899) = 119894119904119889 (119899 minus 1) minus sgn (Δ119875120574 (119899 minus 1)) Δ119894119904119889 (17)

When the two values of magnetization current 1198941199041198891 and1198941199041198892 were found so the sign of power loss is changed betweenthese values and new reference of 119894119904119889 current is specified as

Figure 9 Speed response when the hybrid method is applied andoperational conditions shown in Figure 3

For a light load hybrid method for efficiency optimiza-tion gives significant power loss reduction (Figures 5 6 and7)

There is no oscillation of magnetization flux which ischaracteristic of the search algorithms (Figures 4 and 8)

Also this hybrid method shows good dynamic perfor-mances and no sensitivity to parameter changes (Figure 9)

Implementation of presented algorithm is simple and itcan be universally applied to any electrical motor Changesare only related to different models of power losses

Figure 7 Power losses when the hybrid method is applied andoperational conditions shown in Figure 3

Based on graph in Figure 6 it can be concluded thatthe speed drop for a step change of load is small and speedresponse is strictly aperiodic

5 Conclusion

Algorithms for efficiency optimization of induction motordrive are briefly described Detailed theoretical analysis ofpower losses in induction motor is presented Algorithm forparameter identification in the loss model based on Moore-Penrose pseudoinversion is presented Also hybrid algorithmfor efficiency optimization has been applied According to thetheoretical analysis performed simulations and experimen-tal tests we have arrived to the following conclusions

If load torque has a value close to nominal or highermagnetizing flux is also nominal regardless of whether analgorithm for efficiency optimization is applied or not

Figure 9 Speed response when the hybrid method is applied andoperational conditions shown in Figure 3

For a light load hybrid method for efficiency optimiza-tion gives significant power loss reduction (Figures 5 6 and7)

There is no oscillation of magnetization flux which ischaracteristic of the search algorithms (Figures 4 and 8)

Also this hybrid method shows good dynamic perfor-mances and no sensitivity to parameter changes (Figure 9)

Implementation of presented algorithm is simple and itcan be universally applied to any electrical motor Changesare only related to different models of power losses
